=== Behind the Scenes ===
According to ''[[So Say We All: The Complete, Uncensored, Unauthorized Oral History of Battlestar Galactica]]'', "The Hand of God" was written and directed by [[Donald Bellisario]] and was almost universally considered by the cast to be the strongest of the one-hour episodes.<ref>{{cite book/sswa|215}}</ref> Many involved felt it was indicative of the more character-focused direction the series should have taken in a [[Battlestar Galactica: Year Two proposal|potential second season]].<ref>{{cite book/sswa|214-215}}</ref>
Actress [[Anne Lockhart]] ([[Sheba]]) called it her favorite episode, praising its focus on character development and "very true and real emotions."<ref>{{cite book/sswa|214}}</ref> [[Dirk Benedict]] ([[Starbuck (TOS)|Starbuck]]) also appreciated the episode's shift towards character, noting that the writers were finally trusting the actors and their relationships to carry the story, rather than relying solely on special effects.<ref>{{cite book/sswa|214}}</ref> The episode's poignant ending, featuring the ''Apollo 11'' moon landing transmission, was seen as a perfect and hopeful conclusion to the series. Lockhart recalled the feeling on set: "We finally got it, and the show was over."<ref>{{cite book/sswa|215}}</ref>
