Trivia
The Spear of Destiny is given properties similar to the One Ring, including a hidden inscription that can only be revealed by fire, and the ability to whisper in order to entice its owners to make use of it.

Goofs
In curing Tolkien's case of trench fever, the Legends are potentially creating a huge time aberration, as his illness was likely the reason why he survived the war and went on to become a successful writer. The disease forced Tolkien to be relieved of combat duty and sent home, after which almost his entire battalion was killed in action. Having been cured, he would have likely returned to active duty and been killed alongside his comrades.

Quotes
Rip Hunter: Attention, all combatants. May I have your attention, please? There are casualties on the battlefield. Brave men on both sides who are in urgent need of medical attention. I know that the divisions between us run deep, that they may very well be insurmountable. But I implore both of our armies for this one moment to come together as allies and honor a ceasefire so that the injured may be removed from the field of battle. There may come a day when our courage fails us, when we forsake our friendships and break the bonds of fellowship. But today is not that day. And perhaps in showing our humanity, we might just save it.

No, just no...

This episode was a real downer. As a huge Tolkien and WW1 nerd this episode was so bad. The setting was wrong, it didn't look a bit like the real battlefield of Somme, the story was weak, and the take on Tolkien was just ridiculous.. And to top it all of, the make Rip do an Aragorn-speech so that Tolkien would get inspiration for it later. THAT SPEECH ISN'T EVEN FROM THE BOOKS! It was added by the filmmakers, which makes it just bad... Only reason it gets a five is because of the Legion, Rory and the actors, nothing else... Soooo bad
