Notes
- "Blowback" is a term used for violent, unintended consequences of a covert operation.
- Because the last five episodes of the season were rescheduled by Syfy, this was the first episode to air in Canada before the United States.
- After the cancellation of the Caprica series was announced, the original SyFy timeslot of 10:00 PM EDT Tuesday was filled by the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "A Matter of Time."[3]
Analysis
- When Lacy first meets Odin at the spaceport, she asks, "Do you speak Caprican?" to which Odin replies, "Everyone speaks Caprican." This could mean that the native language of Caprica--depicted as English--was commonly spoken on Gemenon given its proximity to Caprica and Caprica's position as a powerful, influential colony. It is also possible that Caprican was spoken on other colonies, as well. Given that every character in the re-imagined Battlestar Galactica speaks Caprican a mere 58 years after the events of "Blowback," the latter explanation is especially likely.
