*The "waggling" scene with [[Adama, Lee|Apollo]]'s viper and [[Thrace, Kara|Starbuck]]'s Cylon Raider is a nod to the original series; [[Apollo (TOS)|Apollo]] and [[Starbuck (TOS)|Starbuck]] had to "waggle" their own Cylon Raider in order to convey they were friendlies, after losing their transmitter in "[[The Hand of God (TOS)|The Hand of God]]".

*In both episodes, "wing-waggles" are used to identify the friendly intents of captured Cylon Raiders to other Colonials.
