The narrative part of the title sequence that had been used since Season 2 is replaced, including the elimination of the survivor count.

This episode began with a parental advisory warning on its inital U.S. airing.

The initial conjoined airing of this episode with "Precipice" featured different credits than when the episodes aired later as two distinctive episodes, as well as on DVD. Donnelly Rhodes and Erica Cerra were credited (in the opening and closing credits, respectively) despite the fact that they don't appear in either episode; Madeline Parker wasn't credited, though she doesn't appear either. Additionally, Kandyse McClure was originally credited as Candice McClure.

This episode begins on day 134 of the Cylon occupation.

The room Leoben keeps Kara in is, somewhat ironically, a redress of her apartment on Caprica seen in "Valley of Darkness".

This episode was nominated for an Emmy for Outstanding Writing For A Drama Series.

Cavil: Fear is a key article of faith, as I understand it. So perhaps it's time to instill a little more fear into the people's hearts and minds. Let's, uh, let's execute Baltar.
Baltar: What? What?!

Tyrol: Good to see you, Colonel.
Tigh: It's good to be seen.

Tigh: I know you're wondering, so I'll save you the trouble. The eye is gone. Ripped it right out onto the floor, picked it up and showed it to me. Looked like a hard-boiled egg.

Adama: (to Lee) You've had four months to get your act together, and so far all you've been able to frakking do is whine and complain about how hard it is. Well, guess what. It's going to get a lot harder. Do you understand me? Now, I want you to turn around and get your fat ass out of here. Get your men ready! Or find someone who can. Dismissed!

Tyrol: Some things you just don't do, Colonel. Not even in war.

Tyrol: I've got a signal. A Raptor just made contact with us.
Tigh: What's it say?
Tyrol: "Will make contact this frequency every twelve hours. Prepare sitrep for command authority. Have hope. We're coming for you."
(on Galactica)
Racetrack: (over wireless) We made contact! I say again, we made contact with the ground. Colonel Tigh heads an insurgent group against the Cylons and now they're ready and waiting for instructions on how to coordinate the rescue effort.
Adama: It's gonna be okay. It's really gonna be okay.
