A quote from James Cameron when it was announced that he was going to direct this episode:
"I believe in our show, and think it is one of the coolest things on network television," Cameron says. "I have wanted to direct an episode for some time, so when our director for the season finale dropped out just as I was completing photography on another project, I seized the moment."
"In any event, it will be good discipline for me to direct one hour on a TV-size budget when my last project was three hours for $200 million," Cameron says. "I love our cast and am looking forward to working with them in the mud and the blood and the beer."
"Wish me luck. This should be interesting."
