“The Children” references the Children of the Forest, whom we meet for the first time. They were the original inhabitants of Westeros, long before the First Men arrived.
But this episode also very much focuses on all of our main characters as children: they are all acting in relation to their parents, even as they become the prime movers in the world. Over the course of the episode, Arya, Tyrion, Jon, Bran, and Cersei all make major decisions to take on or reject literal or figurative parents.
It premiered on Father’s Day.

It is a 360 degree set, there’s nothing to suggest it’s not real. So I thought, well let’s do something that encompasses that somehow.
- Neil Marshall (director of this episode)
This shot was rehearsed for an hour and only took 7 takes to get right
