	Yeah, Kerry who plays Ishay was sitting there and keeping him amused and keeping him happy through all those takes, but you'll notice that he's not in a lot of the shots. It's really a tick.

	Framing Cottle and Tyrol here was not something I thought of ahead of time. It was - I wasn't actually quite - I think that was a blank spot in my sort of blocking plans. I didn't really know where they should stand, and I think it was Donnelly Rhodes, who plays Cottle, wanted to walk over there. I think I had moved them to some other position and then he walked over there and it turned out that was a much better place because actually they're sort of backlit by the other lights in sick bay and it sort of presented this interesting little frame to put the two actors against.		Framing Cottle and Tyrol here was not something I thought of ahead of time. It was - I wasn't actually quite - I think that was a blank spot in my sort of blocking plans.

	It's worth mentioning this whole little subplot about Nicky's real father being discovered. It was something we decided in the Writers' Room because we said: "okay, what are we going to do with this?" You know, once we had decided that Tyrol was a Cylon that automatically meant that Nicky was another Cylon hybrid, and we had said very clearly on the show and in the mythology of the show, Hera was the only hybrid between human and Cylon, and I didn't want to change that. Hera's role in the firmament of the show was very firmly established in my mind and I had a specific place where I wanted it to go, and then suddenly we had this additional problem if Tyrol was a Cylon, so we did have some conversations in the Writers' Room at the end of Season Three when we decided to make Tyrol a Cylon. And the long and the short of it is, somebody just said, "well, what if he's not the father?" and we all kind of laughed and then said, "actually, that makes sense. He's not the father." And then it was like, "well who's the real father of Nicky?" and it became Hotdog.		It's worth mentioning this whole little subplot about Nicky's real father being discovered.

	Yeah, and you discover ways. And so we backtracked in and said "well, if Nicky - if Cally had actually had the child with somebody else, and Tyrol though he was the father," then suddenly that whole problem goes away, and it felt that it was logical and it felt - fit in with their relationship, which kind of came out of nowhere and they got married suddenly, and they got married off-camera in the missing year and so we had a tremendous amount of leeway for the exact machinations of how that would've worked out, and it became easy to say that Hotdog was the father. We did toy with other candidates. I think Figurski was the kind of guy I really wanted to do for a while, but cooler heads prevailed.		Yeah, and you discover ways.
