Episode Notes |
| |
This episode marks the deaths of Boomer, Sam Anders, Tory Foster, Racetrack, Skulls, and Laura Roslin. The fates of the Number Ones, Fours, and Fives are uncertain, but given their lack of resurrection technology or females to procreate with, it's safe to assume whoever didn't perish in the colony's destruction eventually died off.
| When the fleet ships sail into the sun, the score can be heard playing the theme from the original series, which has been established to the be the Colonial Anthem within this series.
| In addition to the Raiders seen in "Islanded in a Stream of Stars", the colony also has Centurions left over from the first Cylon War. Their absence until this point is most likely due to being an obsolete model and would have been inadequate in combat.
| In a sort of fitting bookend, the museum that had been set up in Galactica is seen for the first (and last) time since the miniseries.
| When President Roslin finally succumbs to her cancer, it is before she can arrive at the location Adama has picked for their cabin, therefore the "dying leader" perishes before seeing the "promised land", fulfilling a prophesy of the book of Pythia.
| Cavil's death was originally scripted differently. In the script, it was intended that Tigh throws Cavil off the second level in CIC. Dean Stockwell, who plays Cavil, suggested to Ron Moore that Cavil should shoot himself after all seems to be lost. Ron Moore said ok with the idea and went with it.
| When Galactica made her final jump and Roslin ask Starbuck, "Where have you taken us?", originally in the script Starbuck responded with "Somewhere along the watchtower". However director Michael Rymer thinks the line was milking it too much and eventually dropped it.
| It was Edward James Olmos's idea to have Adama put his ring into Roslin's finger at the two's last scene together in the Raptor right after Roslin dies.

Episode Quotes |

(last lines)
Number Six: Commercialism, decadence, technology run amok. Remind you of anything?
Gaius Baltar: Take your pick. Kobol, Earth - the real Earth before this one - Caprica before the fall.
Number Six: All of this has happened before --
Gaius Baltar: But the question remains, does all of this have to happen again?
Number Six: This time, I bet no.
Gaius Baltar: You know, I've never known you to play the optimist. Why the change of heart?
Number Six: Mathematics. Law of averages. Let a complex system repeat itself long enough, eventually something surprising might occur. That, too, is in God's plan.
Gaius Baltar: You know it doesn't like that name. (pause) Silly me. Silly, silly me.
