* ''[[Jane Espenson]] on John Hodgman's character:''
 
: Dr. Gerard was a role we wrote specifically for John Hodgman. He was intended to be a slightly heightened and amusing character, and his pitch-perfect performance helped us get the right tone.<ref>{{cite_web|url=http://www.whedon.info/Jane-Espenson-Battlestar-Galactica,30177.html|title=Jane Espenson - "Battlestar Galactica" Tv Series - Chicagotribune.com Q&A|date=17 February 2009|accessdate=26 March 2011|last=|first=|format=|language=}}</ref>
 
* ''John Hodgman on playing Dr. Gerard:''
 
:I’d always been an observer in every other role that I’ve ever played professionally in my life: journalist, writer, agent, all those things. Now I just had to be there. I remember that because it was a three-dimensional set: They build those rooms, and then send in dudes holding cameras to surround you from different sides. It was completely different from any on-camera experience I had had before, which amounted to ''The Daily Show'', where I’m sitting next to Jon Stewart, or the Apple ads, where I’m standing next to Justin Long. Just pure two-dimensional things. I remember making this decision: There was this X-ray behind me of a bullet lodged in [[Michael Trucco|Trucco]]’s head, and I’m talking about it, feeling myself afraid to cheat too far from the camera. I’m like, “What if I just turned around?” That was the one thing that if I had done that on ''The Daily Show'' or the Apple ads, they would yell at me, say “Cut,” and start over, because you’ve gotta be facing the camera. I said to myself, [Whispers.] “I think I’m going to turn around in this scene, in this shot, in this take,” and I delivered my line, “See, now look at this.” And I turned around and pointed at the bullet, and every cell in my body expected to be yelled at that moment, and while I was turned around, I might as well have jumped out of a plane, because I was just so unnerved. Then I turned back, and no one yelled, and the scene continued, and I felt like sighing. “Something has happened.” I think it was maybe that take or the next one where I legitimately, in character, got {{callsign|Starbuck}} to tell me to [[frak]] off. That was the best feeling.<ref>{{cite_web|url=http://www.avclub.com/articles/john-hodgman,58296/|title=The A.V.
