Episode Quotes
 
Adama: We're done here.
Sgt. Hadrian: Excuse me, sir, but my questions are not finished.
Adama: You’ve lost your way, Sergeant. You’ve lost sight of the purpose of the law: to protect its citizens, not persecute them. Whatever we are, whatever’s left of us - we’re better than that. Now these proceedings are closed. You’ll be transported back to your ships and we appreciate your help.
Candace Myson: Commander. This is an independent board. You have no authority to close our inquiry.
Adama: This is a witch hunt. I will not have it aboard my ship.
 
 
Cultural References
 
Number Six: Don't make me angry, Gaius. You wouldn't like me when I'm angry.

This line is an obvious reference to a popular catchphrase from the TV series The Incredible Hulk. The line is quoted by the main character David Banner, warning that his anger could trigger his transformation into the uncontrolable creature known as the Hulk.
 
 
Episode References
 
Sgt. Hadrian makes mention of the water tank explosion as well as an explosive found on a Raptor. Both incidents occured in the episode "Water".
