• Herschel may be named after William Herschel, a famous astronomer.

From Script to Screen

The October 25, 2006 "Full Collated" version of David Eick's "Hero" screenplay includes Herschel in Chief Tyrol's hangar deck dialogue during the arrival of Daniel "Bulldog" Novacek's damaged Cylon Raider. However, this reference does not appear in the final aired episode.
