Season 3 / Episode 3: - Exodus (1)

Dr. Gaius Baltar: [to Caprica Six] Well let me tell you about my day. It was a hoot. Had the most fascinating chat with one of the Dorals. He's got this theory about sanitation being the key to regaining human trust and confidence. Something about toilet paper. No, lack of toilet paper, that's it. How if people could only wipe their bums properly, there would be a measurable uptick in the polls.

Season 3 / Episode 3: - Exodus (1)

Laura Roslin: [after tackling Tom to avoid the gunfire] Are you all right, Tom?
Tom Zarek: Yeah. It's been a while since I've had a woman throw me to the ground. Not quite as much fun as I remember.

MISTAKES/GOOFS

CONT: In the previous episode when Jammer releases Callie and tells her to run, she falls off a cliff and then runs into a forest where we hear shots fired, whereas when the same scene is shown in this episode, neither does Callie fall down anywhere nor is there any forest through which she runs; she is intercepted by Chief Tyrol on the hill and both of them fall down on rocks with no tree in sight.

TRIVIA

"Exodus" was originally planned as a single-episode story, but was later expanded into a two-part story.
Oracle Selloi is the first oracle to be shown in the series, although oracles have been mentioned previously. Chief Tyrol's mother was an oracle.
Chief Tyrol appears in this episode clean-shaven. He filmed his scenes for this episode weeks after the other scenes were shot. The producers felt a fake beard would not appear realistic so Tyrol appeared without the beard.
The character of Cally was never given a last name through the first two seasons of the show. It was even uncertain whether the name Cally was her first or last name. She is finally identified by the New Caprica Police as Cally Tyrol in this episode. Her maiden name, while not acknowledged on screen, has been established as Cally Henderson by the writers.
