Dr. Cottle
Lt. Gaeta
Didja Notice?
Admiral Adama begins to read the novel Love and Bullets
by Nick Taylo to Laura Roslin as she receives her Doloxan
treatment in sickbay. This is, of course, a fictitious book.
Apollo becomes the Caprican delegate to the Council of Twelve in
this episode.
In this episode, Tory is starting to embrace her Cylon heritage.
At 10:42 on the Blu-ray, Starbuck is seen to be using a
Staedtler pencil.
Staedtler is a German manufacturer of writing and drawing
instruments.
The "comet" Starbuck sees in her visions and paints on the wall
of her quarters aboard
Demetrius, is revealed to actually be a
damaged rebel Cylon baseship in "Faith".
Aboard the
Demetrius, Gonzo is seen perusing the
same issue of Nymph magazine that previously belonged
to Reilly and then Hot Dog in "Scar".
Number One makes a couple of remarks about the rebel Cylon
humanoids having done more than they realize by removing the
inhibitors from the Centurions. This later seems to be a
post/fore-shadowing of the "all of this has happened before and
will happen again" nature of robotic intelligence and rebellion
that has been a theme of the series.
The
Demetrius appears to have four Vipers
mounted on top and at least one Raptor docked at the side.

At 26:05 on the Blu-ray, Apollo is wearing a pin on the
lapel of his suit coat. It has a symbol on it, but does
not particularly look like the seal of Caprica (or any of the
other colonies). What does it represent? |

Tigh, Tyrol, and Foster have a Cylon meeting in weapons locker
1701D. This is an in-joke by the writer to the registry number
of the U.S.S. Enterprise in Star Trek: The Next
Generation, on which BSG producer Ron Moore served as a
staff writer. This episode's writer,
Michael Taylor, worked with Moore on Star Trek: Deep Space
Nine.
At 36:27 on the Blu-ray, Tyrol reassures Cally he will be there
for the three of them (including their baby son) and then
suggests that maybe they'll have another (half-Cylon) baby.
At 38:00 on the Blu-ray, notice there is a burned-out Viper
behind Cally in the hangar bay.
At 41:32 on the Blu-ray, after Tory belts Cally in the launch
tube, Cally lands on the "metal" runners of the launch, but they
clearly fold under her, indicating they are rubber or foam prop
pieces.
Unanswered Questions
With both Helo and Athena aboard the
Demetrius as part of Starbuck's mission
to find Earth, where is their baby daughter Hera? Presumably,
someone is caring for her on Galactica. Later, in
"Sometimes a Great Notion", Dee is seen as a babysitter to the
girl, so it may have been she who watched over her while her
parents were away on the mission.
