Notes[edit]
- Katee Sackhoff noted that this episode could have served as the series finale had the WGA strike gone longer.[7] However, the strike ended with sufficient time for production to resume; the previous episode was aired as the mid-season finale, with this episode airing in the first quarter of 2009.
- This episode will have scenes between Kara Thrace and Leoben Conoy set in a forest, which (according to Jamie Bamber) is set on Earth.[7]
- The scenes were among the last shot and were shot during the crew's shut down party due to the 2008 Writers Strike, so Sackhoff was unable to attend.[7]
- The title of the episode comes from the blues song "Goodnight, Irene", in which the singer contemplates suicide: "Sometimes I get a great notion / to jump in the river and drown." Sometimes A Great Notion is also the title of a novel by Ken Kesey and a film adaptation of the same name.
- Based on the YouWillKnowTheTruth viral site, the final clue will be revealed on the same day this episode airs.
- The last Cylon will be revealed in this episode.[8]
