Moore and David Eick go into detail how originally Apollo was going to see that the civilians were still alive and on board the Olympic but he still had to give the kill order. The network basically told them that the episode was dark enough as it was and wouldn't let them do it.

    In "33," the fleet is on the run, A relentless chase, never done. Every thirty-three minutes, Cylons appear, Bringing destruction, feeding their fear. Tired and weary, the crew holds fast, Fighting for survival, as each moment's passed. Adama leads with a steely resolve, Endurance tested. A crisis they can't solve. Sleep-deprived, tension mounts high, Lives on the line, under the black sky. Gaius and Six, in a twisted dance, Faith and doubt, in a perilous trance. A decision looms, the Olympic Carrier’s fate, To save the fleet, their hearts full of weight. With heavy hearts, they make the call, Sacrifice one, to save them all. Despair and hope, in a fragile blend, A struggle for survival, until the end. The human spirit, tested and tried, In the darkness, where shadows hide. To 33, we see the crew exhausted stuggling just to fight. Raging againt the dying of humanity's light. A tough choice, a deadly call. They made the right one. So say we all.

But Olmos and some other actors following his example decided to go further and slept only 3 hours a night during filming of the episode.

    There are those of us who paid close attention in Season Four and think BSG's ending is brilliant. And then there are those of us who paid close attention in Season Four and concluded it isn't to their liking. That's fine, to each his own. But then there are folks who didn't pay close attention in Season Four, and consequently jumped to mistaken conclusions about what they were seeing and what it meant, and on that basis criticize BSG's ending to this day using generalizations that clearly reveal they don't "get it". There's one key plot point in particular that seems to elude many of the critics. I won't say more so as to avoid spoiling anything, but don't put much stock in any poster's individual opinion about the series.

    Two tidbits about '33'; Edward James Olmos suggested that the Cast go without sleep for two or three days to give them more of a realistic feel dealing with sleep deprivation. In the scene with Adama and Tigh at the beginning where Tigh eats part of Adama's food (which you cut), the Director asked Edward James Olmos "What would Commander Adama Eat?" to which he replied "Japanese Udon Noodles." It becomes a recurring Character trait of Adama throughout the Series' run.

    The photo that people were respecting near the beginning is "Lest We Forget". In universe, it was taken during The Attack as a pilot saw the destruction unfolding, and a photographer snapped a photo as they were fleeing Aerilon's capital city (Gaoth). Helo, originally, was not going to be brought back at all- but people liked Tahmoh so much they essentially made this running "B Story" with him on Caprica The Olympic Carrier 100% had its crew and passengers aboard and alive (MOST of them); the network thought Apollo seeing them (for sure) would be "too dark"; however, I'll take the director and writer's words, as well as the references later, over executive meddling... Oh, and one last WTF- imagine that poor mother who gave birth at the end of the episode- was she in labor before the 33'ing stopped?

    3:25 - Dunno if anyone has mentioned this already… But there is a bit of a Trek connection by way of the VFX. Doug Drexler was a 20 something fan in the 70’s that produced a few Star Trek related poster magazines and so on. He would eventually move out to Hollywood and become involved in the Makeup FX industry. He won an Academy Award for his work on Dick Tracy in 1990. He joined the makeup team on TNG around that time. He worked all over the various art departments there. Eventually he moved over to the digital art in 1992 with DS9. He continued to work in that capacity until ENT where he became senior illustrator and CG designer. After ENT ended he was hired by former Trek VFX supervisor Gary Hurtzel to work on the New Battlestar Galactica series as CG Supervisor. He won two Emmy’s for his work. Doug is considered by many fans to be one of the most important minds in the background of Trek through the Rick Berman era along side Mike Okuda and Rick Sternbach. There guys are kinda the unofficial keepers of the lore and history of Trek. At least until the JJ/ Kurtzman Era after which all such brain trusts were willfully purged in favor of new minds and ideas.

    Granted, Caprica kinda... changed the origin of the religion (or I guess it wasn't stated when the Cylons gained their religion in the prime series)

    One of the best features of the show was how well it stitched together 33 to the miniseries though they are produced like a year apart. Now it's common and the standard but not so much back in those days. I'm sure I missed some giveaways but I don't think there are many.

    Edward James Olmos actually paid out of his own pocket for a sleep-deprivation expert to train up the cast between the miniseries and this episode, in order to scientifically-accurately depict this sleeplessness-condition onscreen. (Watch the DVD documentaries, and listen to the audio commentaries for more details), etc.

    You guys almost got it right. :) It wasn't the director, it was Edward James Olmos ( Cmdr. Adama ) who kept people awake for about a day before they started shooting. I personally don't mind the shakycam and they will get better at it. It really grounds the scene and make me feel like I am actually there peeking behind a corner watching them having a situation. And If I want to be honest I personally wouldn't mind having visions of Tricia Helfer constantly trying to pull me into bed lol

    I don't think the director forced them to go without sleep, but there is a story that Eddie Olmos reacted to this script by saying "this is great - I'm not going to sleep for five days!" The rest of the cast were horrified and said "you can't do that, you'll kill yourself!" Eddie says in that deep gravelly voice... "you gotta get inside it!" I don't know if he skipped any sleep before filming this episode, but I imagine you're so exhausted at the end of a season of long hours making episodic TV that the last thing you want to do beforehand is not sleep for five days...

    The shakeycam was part of the general lo-fi feeling of the show, not a decision by the FX studio. In the original pitch for the reboot, in fact, all space shots would have been from the point of view of a diagetic camera on one of the ships or probes.

    The Cylon god thing is interesting mostly in that the Cylons seem to believe in a singular, capital-G god like the Abrahamic faiths, while the humans have their Greco/Roman pantheon of deities. And of course interesting that the machines have a faith at all; they’re not just robotic antagonists. Again it’s very “of its time” to have some clash of civilizations undercurrents.

    I like how they keep updating the survivor count each episode in the OP. The showrunners could have gone the easy route and keep the number vague, but they didn't. They went the extra mile. The actors can be glad this show wasn't directed by Stanley Kubrick. I bet he'd have kept the actors awake for a couple of days to make it as real as possible. ^^ I don't know how it was for the American release, but over here in Europe, the TV run started with the mini-series recut into a multipart episode, that was just seamlessly part of the regular broadcast. I didn't even know there was a miniseries until much later and just assumed those were the regular starting episodes.

    16:23 That reminds me of the BSG board game. They had tiny little models of ships like Cylon Raiders and military Vipers, but civilian ships were represented by cardboard tokens (they had to be uniform, because they "carried" certain resources that could be lost, and had to be picked by random). Unlike the Vipers (or Galactica itself), where you had to roll a die to see if the ship got damaged or not, if a Cylon vessel is on the same space as a civilian ship, it would get automatically destroyed on their next turn, no ifs, ands or buts about it (unless you manage to move them it to a safe place). And since I'm already talking about the game: it also had a mechanic called Crisis Stage and the end of each turn, where players had to resolve a, well, crisis. And just like in the show, most of the time the good outcome would be that "nothing bad has happened this time".
