			==== Filming projection scenes ====
			In discussing the projection technology revealed in this episode, [[Tricia Helfer]] explained that Cylons can project their own environments around them, and these projections are very real to them. Like Baltar's visions of Number Six in his fantasies where he sees her in his house or different scenarios while physically aboard ''Galactica'', Cylons can project whatever environment they want for themselves and can share these projections with each other. For example, one Cylon might see a forest while another sees a cathedral, yet they can also see themselves inside the plain basestar itself.<ref name="reeve_bsgmag7_projection_filming_p152" group="commentary">{{cite magazine\|last=Reeve\|first=Tom\|title=Six Shooter\|magazine=Battlestar Galactica: The Official Magazine\|issue=7\|pages=15\|date=November 2006}}</ref>

			Filming these projection scenes was technically difficult, as Helfer explained: "You have to film it in a room in the basestar, then in a forest and then... From whomever's point of view the discussion is coming from, that is where you are." This made it ambitious for a television show. As an example of the scheduling complexity, Helfer noted that for one particular scene, "The scene I'm doing tomorrow is the forest part, and the cathedral part of the scene we have already done, a week ago, in the baseship." Despite the extra effort required to film these scenes, Helfer added that it was worth it.<ref name="reeve_bsgmag7_projection_filming_p152" group="commentary" />

			==== Hybrid ====
	*The phrase "end of line," uttered by the [[Hybrid\|Cylon hybrid]] in this episode, is an homage to the film ''[[w:Tron (film)\|Tron]]'', in which the [[w:Master Control Program (Tron)\|Master Control Program]] finishes its sentences with "end of line."		*The phrase "end of line," uttered by the [[Hybrid\|Cylon hybrid]] in this episode, is an homage to the film ''[[w:Tron (film)\|Tron]]'', in which the [[w:Master Control Program (Tron)\|Master Control Program]] finishes its sentences with "end of line."

The backstory to the game's sequel ''[[w:Homeworld 2\|Homeworld 2]]'' describes S'jet as undergoing a similar metaphysical experience while integrated with the mothership as Caprica-Six describes of the Hybrid.		** In the PC game ''[[w:Homeworld\|Homeworld]]'', [[w:Karan S'jet\|Karan S'jet]] integrates her physical body into the mothership to serve as its living CPU (Although S'jet chose to do so voluntarily, and it is unlikely, from comments by [[Three]], that the Hybrids were given a choice).

			==== Basestar ====
	*[[Cavil]] is absent from the episode's basestar scenes, aside from a brief closeup from a previous episode used to illustrate Baltar's thoughts about the seven models he has seen. It should be noted that the Cavil model was neither seen on Caprica in "[[Downloaded]]" nor on the scenes set on the baseship we have seen so far. While this is likely due to the fact that actor [[Dean Stockwell]] was not available, it should be noted that there were no stand-ins used to indicate the presence of the Cavils, as it happened with Simon and Conoy in "Downloaded".		*[[Cavil]] is absent from the episode's basestar scenes, aside from a brief closeup from a previous episode used to illustrate Baltar's thoughts about the seven models he has seen.

	* While smaller vessels such as Vipers, Raiders and Raptors are portrayed with more realistic space-flight dynamics than has been typical of much filmed science fiction and space opera, they are still under several circumstances portrayed as behaving like aircraft. An example crops up in this episode during the discussion after Starbuck's collision about landing a Viper on empty tanks. In actuality, as long as the Viper and its battlestar wouldn't have greatly differing relative velocities, there really is no need for the Viper's main engines to be running at all. As long as it has some RCS fuel it will be able to maneuver to a safe landing based on the principle of inertia.		* While smaller vessels such as Vipers, Raiders and Raptors are portrayed with more realistic space-flight dynamics than has been typical of much filmed science fiction and space opera, they are still under several circumstances portrayed as behaving like aircraft.

	* Adama calls Kara Thrace a "cancer"—the very term Thrace's mother often referred to her as. It is unknown if this was intentional or not.
