MISTAKES/GOOFS

TRIVIA

• Producer (and episode writer/director) Ronald D. Moore's son Robin and daughter Roxy appear in the scene where Baltar is preaching about how a father treats his children. Robin is the little boy sitting in front with his chin in his hands.
• As a way to simplify design and cut costs, the colonial uniform costumes were created without pants pockets. A minor subplot of this episode, however, involves Adama walking through the ship, picking up scraps of paper litter and putting them in his pocket to show that he still cares, even though many of the crew have become ambivalent. To make this work, Adama's uniform was modified to add pants pockets. According to the DVD commentary, Edward James Olmos had fun pointing out to the other cast members that he alone had pockets, and made sure to have his hands in his pockets in several scenes.
• This is the only episode of the series that was directed by producer Ronald D. Moore. He wrote the script with the knowledge that he would also be directing it, and specifically included scenes that he thought would be interesting to film.
