== Notes ==
 
* The name "Portia" is from the Latin term ''porcus'', meaning "pig."
* As with the inclusion of {{TOS-RH|Tybalt}} (of [[w:William Shakespeare|William Shakespeare]]'s ''[[w:Romeo and Juliet|Romeo and Juliet]]''), Portia may be a nod to the heroine of Shakespeare's ''[[w:The Merchant of Venice|The Merchant of Venice]]''.

Following Adama's passing, President Tigh visits the Children's Center to observe the children. On duty at the time, Teal shares that Adama did much the same: "He always said that the children reminded him of his mission. Kept him going.

While Tigh was already aware of this fact, he asks Teal for permission to do the same, to which she agrees[1][2] (RH: Armageddon).
