Didja Notice?

As in the previous issue ("Loose Cannon"), Petty Officer Dualla is mistakenly referred to as "lieutenant" here; she is not promoted to junior lieutenant until some time during the rag-tag fleet's stay at New Caprica.

On page 14, panel 6, a model sailing ship is seen in the background in Commander Adama's quarters. In episodes of BSG2000, Commander/Admiral Adama is seen building ship models on a few occasions.

The unrevealed benefactor of the Sagittaron terrorists who appears in this issue is revealed to be retired Admiral Julian DiMarco in "Hostile Takeover".

When Agent Levin of Colonial Intelligence assumes command of the Galactica and orders Commander Adama and Colonel Tigh to be held in the brig, he informs Lt. Gaeta that he is now second-in-command. This is temporary, of course.
