- The plot is reminiscent of the original BSG episode "The Magnificent Warriors," which features the Cylons destroying two argo ships and requiring Galactica to send a patrol to gather seed on an outlying farm world. There is also a connection with "Greetings From Earth," which features a farm staffed by an android named Hector. Here the farm owner is named Hector.

ADD ALLUSIONS
- Wooden flying saucers: Rogers said, "Don't you take any wooden flying saucers now." This comes from the old phrase "Don't take any wooden nickels", which warns gullible people not to fall for schemes or swindles, and specifically refers to the worthlessness of nickels made of wood, which were passed off as real coins at times in the past.
