==Notes==
*This issue was published approximately two months before the [[Season 3 (2006-07)|Season 3]] premiere (which aired October 6, 2006), building anticipation for the new season.
*[[Michael Trucco]]'s character [[Samuel Anders]] had been introduced in [[Season 2 (2005-06)|Season 2]] as a resistance fighter and [[Pyramid (RDM)|Pyramid]] star on the occupied planet [[The Twelve Colonies (RDM)#Caprica|Caprica]], and his romantic relationship with [[Kara Thrace|Starbuck]] had become a major storyline.
*The "tragic hero" description in Trucco's interview likely references Anders' situation as a resistance leader and his complicated relationship with Starbuck, who had left him behind on Caprica before returning for a rescue mission.
*[[Jamie Bamber]]'s [[Lee Adama|Lee "Apollo" Adama]] was positioned for significant character development in Season 3, including his promotion to ''[[Pegasus (TRS)|Pegasus]]''<nowiki/>' commander and complex relationship dynamics.
*The issue's timing was perfect for generating excitement, as Season 2 had ended with the major cliffhanger of the [[Cylon Occupation Authority|Cylon occupation]] of [[New Caprica]].
*Like all issues of ''The Official Battlestar Galactica Magazine'', this publication featured full-color photography and production imagery.
