    • Trivia
      First and only time a humanoid Cylon speaks the term "By Your Command", a staple of the original series.
    • Goofs
      During the Galacticas FTL jump to Ragnar Anchorage, the jump preparation involves Galactica retracting her launch pods fully. We see the pods fully retract and this is confirmed by the bridge crew - however, in the shot of the Galactica actually jumping to Ragnar the pods are once again fully extended.

      Adama: Listen, you were right and I was wrong. Let's leave it at that.
