	* When a rookie pilot from ''Pegasus'', [[Brent Baxton\|BB]], is killed, Kat berates Starbuck for giving him "textbook" advice.

	* Thrace and [[Lee Adama]] talk over drinks, when Thrace propositions Adama for a "quick lay." The two pilots attack each other, clothes flying, but Thrace is too aggressive, which turns Adama's desire almost completely off. She admits that her feelings for Samuel Anders are very confused. When Adama tells her that it's the "living guys" she can't deal with, Thrace is so confused that she slaps Adama, then kisses him for his thoughtfulness in reminding her that he is her friend before she leaves his quarters.		* Thrace and {{callsign\|Lee Adama}} talk over drinks, when Thrace propositions Adama for a "quick lay."

	*The title "Scar" refers to the "ace" Cylon Raider this episode centers around.

	* This episode is the third of the most recent four episodes to begin ''[[Wikipedia:In medias res\|in medias res]]'', after "[[Resurrection Ship, Part II]]" and "[[Black Market]]". In terms of how the flashbacks are structured, going back and forth between past and current events, this episode most resembles "[[Act of Contrition]]".

	*As discussed in [[Podcast:Scar\|the podcast]], writers David Weddle and Bradley Thompson are mostly responsible for expanding the minor pilot characters as the series has progressed. They wrote "[[Act of Contrition]]", in which the nuggets are introduced, then "[[The Hand of God (RDM)\|The Hand of God]]", which is the second time they all appear (and when Chuckles dies). Kat and Hot Dog reappear in "[[Scattered]]" and "[[Valley of Darkness]]" which Weddle and Thompson also wrote. The character of Kat receives more development since "[[Flight of the Phoenix]]", the writers' most recent entry before this episode.		*As discussed in [[Podcast:Scar\|the podcast]], writers David Weddle and Bradley Thompson are mostly responsible for expanding the minor pilot characters as the series has progressed.
