Production
It was the first episode written by John Wells after taking over as sole show runner after Aaron Sorkin and Thomas Schlamme left at the end of the fourth season.
The final sequence of the episode shows shots of the Bartlets attending a private mass, intercut with various other scenes, and features the song Sanvean, performed by Lisa Gerrard.
Although mentioned in the pilot episode, this is the first time that the Bartlet's eldest daughter Elizabeth appears in the series.

Famous quotes containing the word production:
“I really know nothing more criminal, more mean, and more ridiculous than lying. It is the production either of malice, cowardice, or vanity; and generally misses of its aim in every one of these views; for lies are always detected, sooner or later.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
“Perestroika basically is creating material incentives for the individual. Some of the comrades deny that, but I can’t see it any other way. In that sense human nature kinda goes backwards. It’s a step backwards. You have to realize the people weren’t quite ready for a socialist production system.”
—Gus Hall (b. 1910)
“The production of too many useful things results in too many useless people.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
