Trivia
This is the only episode of the series to film scenes in the United States. The scenes in the bear pit were filmed in Los Angeles, because they involve a live bear (named Bart the Bear), and there are various legal restrictions on international transport of large animals such as bears. Only the bear pit was partially built on a parking lot in LA, and Gwendoline Christie, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau and the bear were the only actors present; the rest of the cast filmed their scenes on top of a full bear pit set in Northern Ireland. Shots from both sets were then digitally combined in post-production.

Goofs
When Jon and Ygritte are heading south after crossing the wall with the wildlings, they stop for a rest, and Ygritte removes something from her shoe. When she does this, she turns the shoe over to shake it out and the visible sole of the shoe is a standard, modern hiking boot sole.

Quotes
Tyrion Lannister: [talks about Sansa] She's a child.
Bronn: She's a foot taller than you.
Tyrion Lannister: A tall child.
Bronn: What's the youngest you've ever had?
Tyrion Lannister: Not that young.
Bronn: How much older?
Tyrion Lannister: Older.
Bronn: You're a lord, she's a lady, and a beauty at that. I don't see the problem.
Tyrion Lannister: Shae's not going to like it.
Bronn: Shae is a whore! Are you going to marry her? Eh? How did marrying a whore work out for you the first time?
Tyrion Lannister: I should never have told you about that.
Bronn: You want Shae, keep her. Wed one and bed the other. All you have to do is get a son in the Stark girl. He'll be lord of Winterfell one day; you can rule the North in his name. You'll have two women and a whole kingdom of your own.
Tyrion Lannister: Two women to despise me and a whole kingdom to join them.
Bronn: You waste time trying to get people to love you. You'll end up the most popular dead man in town.
[Bronn chuckles]
Bronn: You want to fuck that Stark girl. You just don't want to admit it.
Tyrion Lannister: I don't pay you to put evil notions in my head. The ones already there don't need company.
Bronn: You pay me to kill people who bother you. Evil notions come free.

Crazy credits
The main song of House Lannister, "The Rains of Castamere", plays over the closing credits, to commemorate the upcoming Lannister wedding.

Fantastic

Season 3, episode 7. Jon, Ygritte and the Wildlings are heading to Castle Black - Jon is afraid for the Wildlings safety. Arya escapes the Brotherhood and the Hound catches her. Theon is tortured again - and castrated. Talisa is pregnant and tells Robb. Daenerys is still making deals and getting things ready to head to Westeros. Tywin reminds Joffrey who is really in charge of King's Landing. Jaime is release to leave Harrenhal but comes back for Brienne.
