- AnecdotesThe episode's title is retrieved from a line used by Charmaine Diyoza when talking to Kane about killing Paxton McCreary and Octavia Blake: "This is how we get to peace."
- GaffesThe deal that Diyoza makes with Clarke is not vastly different from the original deal that she had with Bellamy and broke. The only difference is that it required Octavia's removal. When she made the original deal, she had not yet met Octavia and did not have a reason to feel threatened by her. If she does not have a problem sharing the valley, it does not make sense that she would not have abided by the original deal with Bellamy.

Marcus Kane: I've seen the horrors we inflict on each other in the name of survival, Colonel. God knows I'm as guilty as anyone. But we're on the brink here, on the edge of an abyss I've stared into before, and I can tell you, having sacrificed the few to save the many more times than I care to admit... eventually, the few becomes the many. The ends don't always justify the means, and if you don't know that by now after everything you've been through, then you're just as bad as Octavia. And we're already lost.
Strong, leading roles of either sex, difficult moral decisions abound.
Rather than the standard Women Smart: Men Stupid trope of pretty much every "action sci fi" genre show that cynically replaces a male with a female, written as a male, this show portrays powerful women who are still able to look up to both men and women equally.
Moreover, in this show, deeply, meaningfully written, multidimensional male characters are shown to full effect. They are shown to respect and love their women and look as much towards peace as they do conflict, rather than simply being the shallowly written, testosterone^drenched muscular leads that abound.
In this show there are also depictions of bloodthirsty, desperate women who pine for blood and death and men bereft of love once more finding power and rediscovering themselves...
This show really is a textbook display on how a modern drama should be done...
I adore that this show lays out the pain of utter defeat as much as it does the blissful transcendence of success. It shows the darkness within us just as it does the benevolence of man and it plays upon despair as much as it does hope. Yet amazingly, it only rarely gets cloyingly preachy: A problem other shows often fail to avoid.
All in all a fantastic, well written show with captivating character and mythos.
