*The DVD release of this episode includes an [[List of Deleted Scenes - Season 3 (RDM)#The Eye of Jupiter|alternate scene]] of Roslin's confession to Adama about Hera. In the televised cut, Adama gets up and walks out of the room while Roslin is in the middle of explaining her motivations for hiding Hera and lying to her parents. In the deleted sequence, however, Adama does not walk out of the room--instead, he goes into the head, removes his uniform jacket, and begins shaving. Roslin follows him and, uncertainly, finishes explaining her motivations before admitting "Bill, I don't know what you want me to do here. Should I leave? Should I stay?" Adama simply asks her for a towel and, without any apparent anger or bitterness, tells her that he wants to let Sharon and Helo in on the secret because "no one should have to live with losing a child." This may explain why subsequent episodes do not show any tension between the two over this issue, despite the apparent anger with which Adama storms out of the room in the televised cut. In addition, Adama predicts that Athena and Helo will want to get their child back, which is what Athena subsequently indicates. | *The DVD release of this episode includes an [[List of Deleted Scenes - Season 3 (RDM)#The Eye of Jupiter|alternate scene]] of Roslin's confession to Adama about Hera.

''[[Jane Espenson]] discusses the original name for "The Eye of Jupiter" and references to it in "[[The Passage]]:"'' | |||
: "When I wrote this episode, the upcoming episode was already well along, and it was called 'Eye of [[Zeus]].' So all the dialogue in my episode reflected that. It got changed to Jupiter later, and I don't know why. It's always hard to get names to legally clear. All you need is one guy named Zeus who lives in [[w:North Hollywood|North Hollywood]] and [[w:Standards and Practices|Standards and Practices]] is all over you to change the name. (deadpan) That's probably what happened."<ref name="espenson-2"/> | |||
