Edward James Olmos (Commander Adama) plays a man involved in a search for dangerous androids who are nearly impossible to distinguish from humans. He played a man in a very similar situation in Blade Runner as Gaff. Amusing coincidence.

Mistakes
When Adama orders the landing pods retracted before an FTL jump during the final battle, we are shown a shot of the interior of the landing bay as the entrance quickly narrows due to the retraction (2:44:13-2:44:20). At the rate of closure, the entrance would be fully sealed within the next 10 seconds. But a full minute later (2:45:21), we see the landing pods are fully extended again. Then at 2:46:04 we see from above that the pods have reached their fully-retracted position (and the entrances are now sealed), but at 2:46:12, they are still closing and Starbuck and Apollo safely enter before the entrance is sealed.

Edward James Olmos (Commander Adama) plays a man involved in a search for dangerous androids who are nearly impossible to distinguish from humans. He played a man in a very similar situation in Blade Runner as Gaff. Amusing coincidence.
Season 1 Finale "Kobol's Last Gleaming Part 2" There is a fight between Tricia Heffler and Katee Sackoff, where the actresses decided to do their own stunts. Tricia threw Katee into a real vase, resulting in a large bruise. They both thought all the props around them were breakaway material.
Tricia Helfer's character "Number 6" was named as a tribute to the 1967 series "The Prisoner".
After several discussions with Edward James Olmos and viewing the movie, Tricia Helfer decided to base her character on the replicant Roy Batty from the film "Blade Runner."
In the commentary on the episode "Pegasus," Ron Moore states that behind the scenes, Number Six had been nicknamed "Gina" in response to the derogatory nickname critics had labeled the series - GINO (for "Galactica In Name Only). For Razor, the Number Six model aboard the Pegasus was eventually named Gina on-screen.
The "Weapons Locker" being used by the 'new' Cylon foursome as a meeting place is designated "1701D", a clear reference to producer Ron Moore's previous work on "Star Trek: The Next Generation" where the U.S.S. Enterprise was designated "NCC-1701D".
The guy who plays Lt. Brendan 'Hot Dog' Costanza is really Edward James Olmos's son Bodie.

When Laura Roslin is in the doctor's office, just before the doctor walks in and tells her about having cancer, there is a wide camera shot through the large ceiling window of ships flying by outside. If you look closely you will see one of the ships is Serenity from the TV show Firefly.
