The title of the next episode is a reference to Ozymandias, the Percy Bysshe Shelley poem of the same name. The poem illustrates the futility of humans building empires, because there is nothing that humans can do to prevent the erosion of their empires by time. It contains the famous line, "Look on my works, Ye Mighty, and despair!"
In a 2013 trailer for the series, Bryan Cranston reads the entire poem.
