Nitpick: It's extremely unlikely that the true identities of the 61st would not have been discovered after being brought back to the Saratoga, even if they were in a bad state due to decomposition. Even in the 20th century, DNA testing is routinely done upon the fallen to confirm their identities. It's possible that the testing required more time than the three days that elaspsed, however, between Nathan's return and the operation that was to lobotomize him. But even so, they could have used dental records to do a preliminary ID, and there would have been too many anomalies to be ignored, particularly as West continued to insist that his comrades weren't dead.
Dr. Kanellos: Hyper-vigilance, intrusive recollections, intense psychological distress, these are all symptoms of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. We needn't let him suffer like this Colonel. There are treatments there are procedures that we can do that can...
Lt. Col. McQueen: Electro-convulsive therapy.
Dr. Kanellos: It's helped veterans of the AI Rebellion. Actually it's recommended by the V.A.
Lt. Col. McQueen: Then something must be wrong with it.
West: Maybe... if I didn't remember... you'd be...
Hawkes: The 61st were dead, and they saved us. Then we were dead and you saved us. So ain't nobody here forgetting nobody they served with. Dead or alive.
Powell: Hey, what's the name of this place again?
West: The planet's called Ker.
Wang: Nice.
Powell: What's that mean?
Wang: Nothing, just named after the Greek god of violent death, that's all.
Vansen: Why can 't we ever get a planet with a friendly name, like the planet 'Chuckles', or something?!
West: The entire planet looks like one big firefight.
Wang: I heard the 61st was sent to medevac the 72nd, now we're medevacing the 61st.
An all new group of actors began portraying the Chigs in this episode. According to John Wilkie (one of the newly hired actors) the former actors all quit, though he never learned why they had done so. However, the Chig suits were extremely uncomfortable to wear and hard to act in, so it seems likely that at least some of them decided that the job wasn't worth the hassle. Wilkie also mentions that Rodney Rowland (Hawkes) was immediately hostile towards him for no apparent reason, so there may have been some friction with the previous group that carried over to the new set of actors.
Ker:
In Greek mythology, the Keres (Κῆρες; singular: Ker Κήρ) were female death-spirits. They were daughters of Nyx (Night), and the sisters of Fate (Moirae), Doom (Moros), Death and Sleep (Thanatos and Hypnos), Strife (Eris), Old Age (Geras), Divine Retribution (Nemesis), Charon, among others. Hesiod mentions them in his Theogony. In the Shield of Hercules which is attributed to Hesiod, they are described thus: "The black Dooms gnashing their white teeth, grim-eyed, fierce, bloody, terrifying fought over the men who were dying for they were all longing to drink dark blood. As soon as they caught a man who had fallen or one newly wounded, one of them clasped her great claws around him and his soul went down to Hades, to chilly Tartarus. And when they had satisfied their hearts with human blood, they would throw that one behind them and rush back again into the battle and the tumult."
