Number Six beats up Sharon Valerii on Caprica

...that the name "Number Six" is, according to "Battlestar Galactica: The Official Companion" (Titan Books, 2005), written by David Bassom, an indirect tribute to Patrick McGoohan's cult 1967 television series The Prisoner - a series that addressed topics such as personal freedom and identity, mind control, illusionary experiences and the infiltration of society's supposed guardians (secret agents) by a nefarious force (those behind The Village)?

...that Thrace was a region in south-eastern Europe that was heavily influenced by the ancient Greeks and was eventually conquered by Phillip II of Macedonia?

...that Felix Gaeta's counterpart in the original "Battlestar Galactica" is Sgt. Omega, a Sagittaron native?

...that the character Saul Tigh is based off the character of Paul Eddington in the movie "In Harm's Way" portrayed by Kirk Douglas (with John Wayne)?

...a Wireless is the same thing as a radio transmiter?
