Notes
- The Ghost in the Machine is a non-fiction work by Arthur Koestler. Among its themes are man's tendency towards self-destruction, and that the more primitive parts of the brain (the "ghost in the machine") can override logical functions and are responsible for destructive impulses.
- Ghost in the Machine is the fourth album by The Police, named for and influenced by the book mentioned above. Among the songs contained on the album are "Spirits in the Material World", Demolition Man", and "Rehumanize Yourself". Additionally, the song, "One World (Not Three)" evoke's Lacy's and Zoe's conversation in "Rebirth" about Zoe's three selves which Lacy refer to as a trinity.
Analysis
- Cerberus is the first example in the re-imagined continuity of crossdressing.
- Cerberus's riddle to Joseph Adama about a parent visiting their sins upon their children is yet another reference to one of the themes from the Re-imagined Series. In the speech given at Galactica's decommissioning ceremony, he uses this line as well.
