Didja Know?
The title of this episode is presumably a reference to the 1967
film Guess Who's Coming to Dinner about an interracial
marriage in the United States at a time when when such was
frowned upon.
The opening titles show the fleet at a population of 39,673,
down two from the previous episode "Faith".
This accounts for the deaths of Jean Barolay and Emily Kowalski
in that episode.

At 7:25 on the Blu-ray, notice the gun turret that
swings around towards the baseship on the Galactica
has a blister holding what appears to be two people
manning the weapon! I had always assumed they were
either automated or manned from a more central location
on Galactica via computer. But, I like this! It
gives a space battle that much more potency to have a
living being at the site of the weapon. |

The song Gaeta sings after losing his leg is an original
composition by writer Michael Angeli and musician Bear McCreary
called "Gaeta's Lament".
The book President Roslin is seen reading in sickbay is
Searider Falcon, a classic of Colonial literature, given to
her by Admiral Adama in "Escape Velocity".
