			* In the podcast commentary for "Blowback," [[Tom Lieber]] discusses the scene where Joseph, Sam, and Daniel meet to discuss the stolen Cylons. He notes that this episode marks a significant turning point for Joseph, where he is forced to confront his complicity in arming the same terrorist group that killed his wife and daughter, leading to a major conflict with Sam.<ref>[[Podcast:Blowback\|Podcast for "Blowback"]], timestamp 15:11</ref>
