* According to the producers, the character of Val Chambers was inspired by former United States Secretary of Defense, [[w:Donald Rumsfeld|Donald Rumsfeld]].<ref>[[Podcast:Caprica pilot|Podcast for ''Caprica'' pilot]], timestamp 01:03:30</ref>
 
* Chambers' cut-corner trifocal glasses are likely a nod to ''[[w:Blade Runner|Blade Runner]]''{{'|s}} Tyrell, whose reliance on these glasses is seen as "[[w:Themes_in_Blade_Runner#Eyes|a reflection of his reliance on technology for his power and his myopic vision.]]" Like that character, Chambers is later murdered by those who assisted in his ascension to power.
