*The title is a partial quote from "Where Everybody Knows Your Name," the theme song to the television program ''[[Wikipedia:Cheers|Cheers]]'' written by [[Wikipedia:Gary Portnoy|Gary Portnoy]] & Judy Hart Angelo. — "Making your way in the world today takes everything you've got./''Taking a break from all your worries'', sure would help a lot."

*The songs heard as background music in the bar are original compositions. One is titled "Lord Knows I Would," composed and performed by [[Raya Yarbrough]] - who is the voice of most vocals on the ''BSG'' soundtrack - and available on one of her albums. "All That Remains" is also performed by her, but composed by [[Bear McCreary]] and is part of his [http://bearmccreary.com/html/blog/blog018.htm ''Rest Stop'' soundtrack].

*The secret experiments with hallucinogenic drugs for purposes of interrogation parallels the [[w:Project MKULTRA|CIA's MK ULTRA]] program from the 1960s and 1970s. In that program, [[w:LSD|LSD]] was investigated as a possible "truth serum".

*The episode was originally meant to be far lighter in tone and revolve mainly around Joe's bar, showing how people build it and fight to keep it. This explains the somewhat paradoxical episode title, given the dark tone it ultimately took. The change in tone came about because [[Jamie Bamber]] felt that the script didn't deal enough and too lightly with Lee Adama's deteriorating relationship to Dualla. Moreover, Baltar's storyline started as a B-plot and became the focus of the episode ([[Battlestar Galactica: The Official Companion Season Three]]).
