Trivia
- This is the longest episode to date, clocking in at 21 minutes or two-thirds of Classic Season 2.
- The music composition while Sarah, Nicole, and June discuss the SPARTAN-IV Program was composed by Cole Vakassian just days before the episode aired.
- Syp The Mighty learned to mod her PC copy of The Master Chief Collection for the shots of Emery's pelican in this episode, editing still images of the pelican for specific shots while using the in-game footage for select shots due to the lack of splitscreen in that game's PC version.
- This episode reveals that Corvus is familiar with Emery by her reaction to his presence.
- Emery steals the chest plate of Louie Vargas, as he had done in WarGames.
- There was a scene featuring Molotov and Cocktail that was cut for time during production.
- This episode is a reimagining of Infinity as well as elements of Ambush and Dare.
Errors
- Syp had intended to show the body of Alana Reynolds as an establishing shot just prior to introducing the Brigadier and Valentine, but had forgotten she hadn't filmed it until the episode was already scheduled to upload. She intends to restore this for the season's At The Movies re-release.
