Notes

  • This issue was published during the hiatus between Season 2 and Season 3, keeping fans engaged during the wait for new episodes.
  • Grace Park's portrayal of Sharon Valerii (and later Sharon "Athena" Agathon) was one of the most complex performances in the series, as she played multiple versions of the same Cylon model with distinct personalities and loyalties.
  • Callum Keith Rennie's Leoben Conoy was introduced in the Miniseries and had become a recurring antagonist throughout the series, particularly in his obsessive interactions with Kara Thrace.
  • The Dynamite Entertainment comic book series launched in May 2006 with a #0 issue, followed by the ongoing series, marking a significant expansion of the Battlestar Galactica franchise into comics.
  • The visual effects team's work was a crucial element in making the Re-imagined Series' space battles and ship designs feel realistic and documentary-like, a significant departure from traditional science fiction aesthetics.
  • Like all issues of The Official Battlestar Galactica Magazine, this publication featured full-color photography and production imagery.
