Trivia
ADD TRIVIA- Goof: When Conchobar sings about Cathain he places the accent on the second syllable and says the "th" as a digraph (two consonants pronounced as a single hard "t" sound), but when he's talking to Sara about her he puts the accent on the first syllable and uses an aspirated "th" sound. Edit
- Nitpick: Gabriel tells Sara that an SS Lieutenant stole the Witchblade and gave it to Elizabeth Bronte. Later Gabriel calls the SS officer a Colonel. It's possible that Elizabeth began the liason when he was still a junior officer, and that he didn't give her the Witchblade until later, after he had been promoted. Edit

Notes
ADD NOTES- Grant Lee Phillips of the band Grant Lee Buffalo, the singing voice of Conchobar, performs several songs written especially for Witchblade ("Cathain" and "Sara"), as well as several others ("Demon Called Deception" and "Honey Don't Think". The lyrics for "Cathain" were the only ones not written by Grant, but rather by series writer Rick Oki and composer Joel Goldsmith. Edit
- Featured Songs: "Saboteur" - Kid Gloves "Signs" - Five Man Electrical Band (when Sara asks Gabriel about the rune from the crime scene) "Demon Called Deception" - Grant Lee Buffalo (when Sara first sees Conchobar) "Cathain" - Grant Lee Phillips (when Conchobar sings the legend of Cathain for Sara) "Stuck In This Hell" - Black Toast "Bullet" - Fluke "Green Eyed Lady" - Sugarloaf "Honey Don't Think" - Grant Lee Buffalo (when Conchobar sings for Sara in the final scene) Edit

Allusions
ADD ALLUSIONS- Celtic Runes: The runes left at the murder scenes become an important clue to the episode's mystery, and the Irish Celts did write using runes. But the runic alphabet, called ogham, was a series of lines running perpendicular, or slanted, over a transverse line, not a pictoral symbol such as the so-called "Conchobar" rune in this episode. The runes had a standard alphabet of twenty characters that were mostly associated with a type of flora, such as oaks, or heath. There were also a hundred or more secret runes not commonly used. Ogham was primarily used for inscriptions of names on monuments such as standing stones since the Druids didn't write down their teachings, but rather taught them by rote. It's possible that there was a secret rune created for a hero/king such as the legendary Conchobar, but none is now known. Edit
- Two times slain A number of corpses of sacrificed men have been unearthed from the bogs of Ireland, but they were three times slain! They were strangled by a garotte, stabbed, and drowned in the bog which would preserve them for archeologists to later find. Edit
