Battlestar Galactica: Podcast Notes from "The Road Less Traveled"

Scifi hasn't posted any new podcasts lately (there should be 2 more), so who knows when we'll have more podcast notes. Enjoy while you can!

- Scotch: Macallen Cask Strength
- Smokes: Marlboro lights

- Helo's role on the Demetrius is modeled after the XO from "The Caine Mutiny".

- They keep writing scenes of Heavy Raider interiors, but scrap them because of budget.

- RDM was blown away by the set of the Demetrius.

- Tyrol's shaved head was Aaron Douglas's idea.

- None of the humanoid Cylons know who the Final 5 are.

- Gunny Mathias (chick who dies) was named after someone RDM knew in his hometown.

- There's not much blood on Leoben's face, because the network wanted them to pull back on blood on people's faces.

- Lots of disagreement occurred over the scene between Baltar and Tyrol at the end. The actors wanted to do it differently than the script. RDM, at the time, protested, but what you see in the episode is the actor's version because it was better.
