- Continuity problem:
When Chief Tyrol steps into the ring, he has his dog tags on. When Adama sucker-punches him, Tyrol goes down wearing the tags. When Tyrol is shown lying flat on his back, the dog tags have disappeared. Although it's possible the dog tags flew around to the back of his neck from the force of Adama's punch, they are still missing when the fight resumes. Tyrol is never shown removing them. edit » - Jamie Bamber has a lighter hair color in real life than he does on the show. His hair is usually dyed to more closely match that of Adama. In the flashback, when Lee wakes up after his night with Kara, his chest hair appears lighter than the hair on his head. edit »

- Anders: Kara, I want you back. I want our marriage back. I want a real marriage.
Kara: And what if I’m just not ready for that?
Anders: I don’t know. I guess you’ll never be. Maybe because I’m not what you really want after all. edit » - Kara: (referring to Lee) Look at that. A couple months ago you would've had to roll him into this ring. edit »
- Anders: (reading Baltar’s announcement) "Join the celebration as we break ground for a better tomorrow."
Kara: Aw, it's such a load of crap.
Dee: There’s an open bar.
Kara: Really? See, now why didn’t you say so? edit » - (watching Kara and Lee fight)
Anders: What’s going on?
Dee: What’s it look like?
Anders: Looks like they’re trying to kill each other.
Dee: One perspective. edit » - (flashback from New Caprica)
Roslin: Didn't expect to find you playing in the sand.
Adama: It's not sand. It's alluvial deposits. This used to be the river mouth.
Roslin: And you just had to take off your shoes and play in the alluvial deposits. How romantic. edit »
