*[[Bear McCreary]] used subtle chaotic [[w:electric sitar|electric sitar]] solos performed by [[Steve Bartek]] to represent Toth's mental instability. This musical technique created a subconscious warning that the character was "losing it," connecting him thematically to {{callsign|Crashdown}}, who had been similarly represented by electric sitar during his descent into madness on [[Kobol]]. McCreary noted that while the connection was "very subtle," he liked the idea of linking Toth with Quartararo on a subconscious level, as both characters suffered psychological breakdowns in combat situations.<ref name="McCreary2013">{{cite web |last=McCreary |first=Bear |title=Battlestar Galactica: Blood & Chrome |url=https://bearmccreary.com/battlestar-galactica-blood-chrome/ |website=Bear McCreary |access-date=27 July 2025}}</ref> | *[[Bear McCreary]] used subtle chaotic [[w:electric sitar|electric sitar]] solos performed by [[Steve Bartek]] to represent Toth's mental instability.
