Overview

• According to an interview with executive producer David Eick, the mid-season cliffhanger story, spanning episodes 10 and 11, will center on "discovering the next big clue on the road to Earth."
• There will be a mid-season break between episodes 10 and 11. However it will not be as long as the hiatus between "Pegasus" and "Resurrection Ship, Part I": while that mid-season break lasted four months, this is a normal mid-season Christmas break which will last a single month.
• According to a news report, this episode is being filmed in Kamloops, Canada, not Vancouver (and is considered a big economic boon to Kamloops as a result). The episode takes place on an unnamed planet that the Fleet encounters. According to Jamie Bamber, the Fleet is still in search of Earth, but food supplies have finally started to run desperately low. Galactica encounters a planet capable of supporting life, so Apollo is sent with a team to the surface to set up base camp and scout it out to investigate possible food sources. However, the Cylons then arrive, resulting in "a pitched battle" between the Colonial ground team and Cylon Centurions. Aaron Douglas (Chief Galen Tyrol) and Nicki Clyne (Cally Henderson Tyrol) are also present in this episode in scenes with Bamber, meaning their characters will survive at least this long into season 3.

Questions

• This episode title is peculiar. After the fall of the Greeks to the Romans in ancient real-world Earth history, the Romans adapted the Olympian pantheon of gods but changed names and some of their stories. The leader, Zeus, became Jupiter, and Hera become Juno. Does this mean that there are Roman-like mythological parallels/influences within the Twelve Colonies?
