TRIVIA

Opening credits say there are 47,853 human survivors.
The music accompanying the end of D'anna Biers documentary video on the Galactica in episode #2.8 "Final Cut", which starts with a janitor whistling the tune and ends in a triumphant fanfare, is the theme song from the original "Battlestar Galactica" (1978). It was last heard during a Viper air show ceremony in the new series' pilot miniseries; within the new series' storyline, the old theme song is the national anthem of sorts of the Colonials.
The documentary crew's camera is actually a cosmetically altered Panasonic DVX-100 (or possibly the 100A). Also, the video tape that Biers conceals is a regular MiniDV cassette.
