Trivia
- When Vandal Savage is introduced, he is descending from the SS Tithonus. In Greek mythology, Tithonus was a Trojan who was granted immortality, but not everlasting youth.
- This marks the first appearance of Thea Queen and Malcolm Merlyn on a The Flash episode.
- Felicity notes that Vandal Savage is "Rocking the Dothraki look," a reference to the popular television series, Game of Thrones, where there is a race called the Dothraki.
- This episode marks Damien Darkh's only appearance in an episode of The Flash. Interestingly enough, Darkh's actor Neal McDonough played the voice of Barry Allen in the video game Injustice: Gods Among Us.
