Written by Richard Kahan, he is a first time writer for the show, though he had previously acted on numerous TV shows and normally works as a writing assistant on this series. Directed by Douglas MacKinnon, who also directed the previous episode, La Dame Blanche, this episode was more successful than that one, though it still had problems.

Written by Co-Executive Producer Toni Graphia, and directed by a director new to the show, Douglas MacKinnon (a veteran director of mostly English and Scottish TV productions, including a few in Gaelic, he has also directed episodes of Sherlock and Doctor Who), the episode didn’t really do it for me.

Written by Co-Executive Producer Ira Steven Behr, directed by Metin Hüseyin, with the costume design by Terry Dresbach, the episode covers events from the book that were in a different order than they were shown here.
Going from how faithfully Through a Glass, Darkly kept to the book, I was a little surprised things were changed from the book so much here. Not so much in what was shown, or when, but there were a couple of really big changes.

I was completely spoiled before seeing this episode. Or as spoiled as I could be not having seen the episode, that is.
I had my own theory of how things would go with the start of the first episode of season two based on those spoilers, and how it did start was actually pretty close to how I thought, but no matter what the truth was going to be I was pretty sure it wasn’t going to be how the book started.

Oh, and keep in mind I use profanity in this, and actually I use some almost right away. You’ve been warned.
