Notes

add »
When Pierce calls off his fighters, for a brief moment, one can be seen designated "THX 1138" on the screen -- a reference to George Lucas' first movie. (edit)
"Hyperion" is also the name of a greek Titan, the god of the light and the sun. As most of Earth alliance cruisers are named after historic personalities this fits as well. (edit)
The name of the ship "Hyperion" was a nod to the Lurker's Guide to Babylon 5 which was originally located at "hyperion.com". (edit)

Quotes

add »
Ivanova: I know, I know. It's a Russian thing. When we're about to do something stupid, we like to catalog the full extent of our stupidity for future reference. (edit)
