== Notes ==

* [[Katee Sackhoff]] noted that this episode could have served as the series finale depending on the length of the [[WGA strike]].<ref name="roadrunner">{{cite_web|url=http://roadrunnerdm.livejournal.com/84288.html|title=Roadrunner - Newsdump from Burbank convention|date=19 November 2007|accessdate=20 November 2007|last=|first=|format=|language=}}</ref> However, this was not necessary, as the strike ended in a sufficient period of time for production to resume, combined with the fact that this episode will not air until 2009, given that the previous episode is a mid-season finale.
* {{spoilli|This episode will have scenes between [[Kara Thrace]] and [[Leoben Conoy]] set in a forest, which (according to [[Jamie Bamber]]) is set on [[Earth (RDM)|Earth]].<ref name="roadrunner"/>}}
* The scenes were among the last shot and were shot during the crew's shut down party, so Sackhoff was unable to attend.<ref name="roadrunner"/>
*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'' was also the title of a novel by Ken Kesey and a film adaptation of the same name.
