Half-Season[edit]

Are we sure that Sometimes a Great Notion will be aired before the midseason break? I've seen the first half-season referred to as consisting of ten episodes. -- Noneofyourbusiness 22:58, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

It's not on the SFC schedule, so I've removed it. Someone must've been overzealous in their addition of the airdates. -- Joe Beaudoin So say we all - Donate - Battlestar Pegasus 03:35, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

Writers[edit]

In the podcast for Revelations, RDM states that David Weddle and Bradley Thompson will be writing this episode. I though I should bring it up here rather than add it to the article as I'm a relatively new member here, and am still unfamiliar with the editing process.Pentagonal Deception 23:51, 12 July 2008 (UTC)

That's all right, Pentagonal. Feel free to be bold take it upon yourself to add it, as long as it's cited. -- Joe Beaudoin So say we all - Donate - Battlestar Pegasus 04:27, 13 July 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for the encouragement, but it wasn't so much that I was apprehensive to edit the page, but more that i'm not quite sure how. I really haven't taken the time to learn how to use the editing software, (which is something I'm planning on doing shortly) so i thought it best to bring it up here and have someone willing and able add it.Pentagonal Deception 19:34, 13 July 2008 (UTC)
I added it. You can see the difference here. -- Serenity 18:08, 13 July 2008 (UTC)
Many thanks.Pentagonal Deception 19:34, 13 July 2008 (UTC)

Episode Title[edit]

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." Is this a fact? There's no citation. It's also the title of a song by John Mellencamp. Genji2000 17:58, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

And, though I don't know if it has to do with anything, the first line of the Mellencamp song, "Never give an inch," is a reference to Sometimes a Great Notion, a novel by Ken Kesey. Capedia 07:03, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

Buried Centurion Head[edit]

Was it just me, or did that uncovered centurion head found in the anthropological dig look like the centurion pictured here:http://en.battlestarwiki.org/wiki/Image:DeSanto_Singer_Project_Cylon.jpg ? -- Davidkevin 08:14, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

Guest stars[edit]

As an avid credit watcher I thought I'd point out that as of the very beginning of season 4 Michael Hogan, Aaron Douglas, Tahmoh Penikett, Michael Trucco, Alessandro Juliani and Kandyse McClure have all been credited as starring cast members. I've removed them from the guest star section for this episode accordingly.--Opark 77 11:02, 18 January 2009 (UTC)
