| * [[Equellus]], [[Vella]], [[Puppis]], [[Lacerta]], and [[Red-Eye]] (including its armored horse) are derived from the episode "[[The Lost Warrior]]," an {{TOS|Apollo}} centric episode of the [[Original Series]]. | | * [[Equellus]], [[Vella]], [[Puppis]], [[Lacerta]], and [[Red-Eye]] (including its armored horse) are derived from the episode "[[The Lost Warrior]]," an {{TOS|Apollo}} centric episode of the [[Original Series]]. |
| * The word "[[frimp]]" is another ''[[Galactica 1980]]'' nod.
| | |
| * ''{{alt-r|Pegasus}}'' is the second (and only) battlestar in the alternate reality to be identified by name. Whether {{TOS|Cain}} commanded it or not remains unstated.

|
| * {{alt|Apollo}} develop an amicable working relationship with not only {{alt-r|Serina}} but also {{alt-r|Boomer}}, similarly mirroring the relationships Apollo had with their primary reality counterparts. The same can be said about the relationship between himself and {{alt-r|Adama}}. While there is fertile room for dealing with the complex (and discomforting) nuances of those relationships for all parties, the pace of the comic and the overall story arc—which lends to being a fun by-the-numbers romp—do not permit that.
| |
| * Comparatively, [[tropes:OtherMeAnnoysMe|the animosity]] between {{alt-r|Starbuck|Captain Starbuck}} and {{alt|Starbuck|TOS|Lieutenant Starbuck}} drive ''{{alt-r|Galactica}}''{{'|s}} engagement in the issue, culminating to the climax that is paid off in {{comics|vol2|5}}.
| |
| * [[Baltifer]]'s face is finally revealed in this issue, having been hidden and obstructed by shadow for the previous two issues, revealing the extent of {{alt-r|Zee}}'s merging of {{alt-r|Baltar}} and {{alt-r|Lucifer}}. Baltifer's motivations are further enhanced with the logic inherent in Lucifer's character, although Baltar's inherent hubris comes to play, ignited by not only the revelation of an alternate Apollo's existence but the survival of Adama, Baltar's old nemesis and leader of the [[Colonial Resistance]].
| |
| * Zee continues to play the role of the [[tropes:MadScientist|Mad Scientist]] to continue the story flow, particularly as [[tropes:NewPowersAsThePlotDemands|the inventor of]] the [[temporal warp drive]] and [[chronal cannon]]s, thereby allowing this five-issue arc to reach both its climax and {{comics|vol2|5|its conclusion}}.
| |
| * Baltifer's reneging on Apollo and Adama's perceived deal [[tropes:ExactWords|based on a mere technicality]]—in that he wouldn't use ''[[temporal weapon]]s'' to destroy the resistance base on [[Cache]]—is a variation of the [[tropes:ILied|"I lied"]] trope, in keeping with the spirit of the "[[tropes:YouSaidYouWouldLetThemGo|you said you would let them go]]" conversation at the end of this issue.

|
| * How many other humans have been saved by the Colonial Resistance in the three months following Apollo's arrival? | | * What are Doctor {{alt|Zee}}'s origins? |
| * If Cain existed, did he command ''Pegasus'' when it was destroyed at the peace conference by Baltar's hand? | | * How many [[yahren]]s have {{alt|The Fleet|TOS|the Fleet}} been searching for {{alt|Earth|TOS}}? |
| * Is the temporally displaced Apollo angling on kindling a romance with the alternate Serina?
| | * How long have the Colonials known of [[temporal weapon]]s? Are the {{alt|Cylons|TOS}} aware of them? |
| * What kinds of sacrifices did {{alt-r|Starbuck|Captain Starbuck}} have to make?
| | * What are the conditions within the Fleet? |
| * How did Starbuck salvage ''Galactica''? | |
| * Where did ''Galactica'' come from, if it was not constructed by the Colonials in the alternate reality?
