Episode Notes
For what is now the fifth episode in a row, Brian Markinson does not appear.
"End of line" is a phrase that often punctuates many of the strange ramblings of the Hybrid in Battlestar Galactica.
Although advertised as the Season Finale, this is actually the mid-Season Finale, similar to seasonal breaks Battlestar Galactica took, which mostly lasted several months.
As Daniel sits at the piano, he is actually playing the Graystone Theme that Bear McCreary has used throughout the series' score.
Jill Teed played Sergeant Hadrian in a couple of Season 1 episodes of Battlestar Galactica.
Jesse Haddock is credited in this episode as Vergis's driver and not Darius, as he had in the previous two appearances. This is a remnant of a plotline in which Amanda's visions of her brother was to be part of an elaborate attempt by Tomas Vergis, who found a lookalike of Darius, to torment her and subsequently get the revenge he promised Daniel he would have. However, the producers decided that this failed to work within the reality of the show and all material that had been filmed to explain the original idea was cut out to fit in with the new direction.
The male operatic vocals that can be heard are provided by Alessandro Juliani who played Felix Gaeta in Battlestar Galactica. As a classical singer, he is also no stranger to singing in the same universe, having sung a song in-character in the episode of the same series entitled "Guess What's Coming to Dinner?".
Episode Goofs
Early in the first act, a headline for an article Amanda reads for Defense Times ends with a quotation mark, but has no opening mark.
The U-87 throws Philo against the column and his head strikes near the top and simply bounces off. Yet, there are streaks of blood that run down almost to the very bottom.
As a leftover from the abandoned revelation, one can briefly catch the face of Vergis's driver when he opens the door and see that he resembles the vision of Darius that Amanda has been seeing around everywhere.
