Episode Quotes
Doctor Gaius Baltar: Over there, between those two peaks, I saw some terrain that looked good for cultivation.
Number Six: Cultivation?
Doctor Gaius Baltar: Yes. You know, I know about farming [suddenly starts weeping for his father, who was a farmer]
Number Six: Hey [gently puts her arm on his shoulder] I know. [kisses him] I know you do.
Number Six: Cultivation?
Doctor Gaius Baltar: Yes. You know, I know about farming [suddenly starts weeping for his father, who was a farmer]
Number Six: Hey [gently puts her arm on his shoulder] I know. [kisses him] I know you do.
Colonel Saul Tigh: [Adama is watching the cylons plug Samuel Anders into Galactica's systems] You know, it's still not too late to flush 'em all out the airlock
Admiral William Adama: It'd take too long.
Admiral William Adama: It'd take too long.
Sharon "Boomer" Valerii: [watches in disbelief as Simon calmly runs medical tests on Hera, despite the fact Cylon Colony is being invaded] You're gonna just keep doing the tests? Even with the colony coming down among your ears?
Simon: I think you over estimate their chances. They may have confused our Hybrids temporarily, but we have superior fire power and superior numbers, and in the end, its all about about mathematics. [Boomer then breaks Simon's neck, killing him instantly]

Mistakes/Goofs
- Goof (errors in geography): The events of the finale was supposed to have taken place 150,000 years ago. Therefore, when Galactica jumped to our Earth after rescuing Hera, shots of the African continent from space should have shown the Sahara to be lush and green rather than the pale desert it is today.
- Goof (revealing mistake): As the camera pans up over Adama sitting by Laura's grave a small, low to the ground fence can be seen behind him. The area is supposed to be undeveloped and uninhabited.
- Goof (incorrectly regarded as a mistake): Admiral Adama states that "they are a million light years away from the colonies". Yet, at a distance of one million light years from Earth in any direction there are no stars or galaxies. The next galaxy (Andromeda) would be 2.5 million light years away and the Milky Way itself is only 100,000 light years in diameter. That being said, Adama could have simply been using an inexact phrase to illustrate that they were far from home.
- Goof (errors in geography): The final scene is stated to take place on the streets of modern day New York City but in the final shot, the Canadian-style "do not enter" sign and the transit bus in TransLink livery reveals it was actually Vancouver BC.
- Goof (errors in geography): They're supposed to be in Africa, yet near the end when Admiral Adama and the President get in the Raptor they're situated in front of a stand of paper birch. These are trees found only in North America.
Trivia
- CAMEO(Ronald D. Moore): man at the New York City newsstand reading about the discovery of Hera Agathon's skeleton while 'Six' and 'Baltar' comment about it behind him.
- In the extended DVD cut of this episode, the scene where Cally interrupts Tyrol and Boomer in the workroom, then warns Tyrol to "be careful", is a deleted scene that was filmed for the original miniseries. Because of this scene, Nicki Clyne (Cally) gets screen credit for the extended cut, even though she didn't film any new material.
- The pigeon in Lee's flashback is a metaphor of Kara.
- In the final draft script, Chief Tyrol's final lines mentioned him moving to an island off the northern continent. At the request of Aaron Douglas, this line was expanded to include a mention of the "highlands". Ronald D. Moore, in the episode commentary, confirms that this line is intended to imply that Tyrol is the founder of Scotland.
- The title is based on Nietzsche's homonym work.
