* Adama has accepted Tigh back as his friend and second in command. Tigh, despite being outed as a Cylon, maintains his rank and privileges. Adama also, unlike the previous episode, speaks to Tigh in a more familiar manner here. | * Adama has accepted Tigh back as his friend and second in command.

* Col. Tigh still has much authority with the crew of ''Galactica'' as XO even though he has been revealed to be a Cylon. At near the end of "Sometimes a Great Notion" just before he speaks with [[D'Anna Biers]] for the last time, he is clearly shouting orders at the landing personnel on Earth to get their gear for departure in 15 minutes in his familiar barking way. No one objected (not that anyone actually wanted to stay on the planet). Thus far only Felix Gaeta has shown overt objections. | * Col.

* The amnesty offered to the Final Four Cylons, along with presumably Admiral Adama's consent, has resulted in them being allowed to remain aboard ''Galactica'' and presumably (given Tigh is still the XO) to keep their posts. It remains unclear in this episode how well the rest of the Fleet accepts this or to what extent it is understood that the Final Four are different from the other seven and are not sleeper agents, but it is a sign of how far the two races have come that there can be such intermingling. This would have been unthinkable in the first two seasons. Nevertheless later episodes do show that dissent and hostility are brewing over the rushed blanket amnesty and the fact that the revealed Cylons remain free and serving | * The amnesty offered to the Final Four Cylons, along with presumably Admiral Adama's consent, has resulted in them being allowed to remain aboard ''Galactica'' and presumably (given Tigh is still the XO) to keep their posts.

* Here we have another example of how confusing and improvised the matters of Colonial law have become. Despite not being Colonial citizens, Athena, Tigh, and Anders are serving as Colonial officers, and Athena and Anders are married to humans. | * Here we have another example of how confusing and improvised the matters of Colonial law have become.

* Galen Tyrol refers to the [[Number Eight|Eights]] and [[Number Two|Twos]] as "Sharons" and "Leobens," but the [[Number Six|Sixes]] as "Sixes". His former relationship with [[Sharon Valerii]] and service alongside {{callsign|Athena}} explain his inclination to refer to the Eights with a human name, but his choice to address the [[Number Two|Twos]] in equally familiar terms is difficult to explain from an in-universe perspective. In fact, the Number Two model designation was only established in "[[Six of One]]". Presumably Tyrol refers to the model as "Leoben" to avoid audience confusion. | * Galen Tyrol refers to the [[Number Eight|Eights]] and [[Number Two|Twos]] as "Sharons" and "Leobens," but the [[Number Six|Sixes]] as "Sixes".
