Notes
- Cally Tyrol's full first name is Calandra.
- A costuming error in the teaser shows Saul Tigh wearing the neck pins of an admiral. This is noticeable in the scene where Tigh and Tory Foster confront Galen Tyrol in Tyrol's quarters after the ceremony.
- Another of the Lords of Kobol has been revealed: Asclepius. Asclepius is known to the Colonials as the god of healing.
- Unlike "The Ties That Bind", Tom Zarek is not present at the Quorum of Twelve meetings on Colonial One.
- Escape velocity is the minimum initial velocity an unaccelerated object needs to escape a body's gravitational field.
- A Gemenon delegate has been cast[2], suggesting an appearance of the Quorum of Twelve, or at least part of it.
Analysis
- Hamish "Skulls" McCall and Margaret "Racetrack" Edmonson have notoriously bad luck with RCS systems on the Raptor that they're assigned to. A previous error with the RCS thrusters also occurs in "Dirty Hands", then attributed to impurities in the tylium fuel.
