    • Trivia
      This episode features the unexplained reappearance of Captain Jules Tarney who demands to have Galactica's FTLs. Played by William Samples, Tarney served as a judge in Baltar's trial in Crossroads: Part 1 (2007)/Crossroads: Part 2 (2007) (in a subsequent episode, Tarney was reported killed).
    • Goofs
      Near the end of the show at 43:09, Adama and Tigh are sitting on the couch. A book on the coffee table clearly displays the gold Pegasus logo of the Reader's Digest Condensed Books series. The books are also missing the "cut corners" found in all books, papers and documents in the series.
