Jigger

A jigger is an electronic countermeasures device on a Raptor.
Sharon "Boomer" Valerii tells Captain that her Raptor, now inside the cargo bay of Colonial One, is out of jiggers as well as other tactical tools such as communication drones .
In her falsified description of her "return" to Caprica to retrieve the stranded Karl "Helo" Agathon, Caprica-Valerii tells Agathon that she "set the jiggers to pulse," suggesting that jiggers aid in masking a Raptor's electronic or DRADIS signature to enemy forces.
The Raptor that this Valerii had supposedly flown to the area is found surrounded by Cylon Centurions, making its use to return to impossible .
== Notes ==
* Jigger is a colloquialism as the term itself means to confuse or interfere with a function, in this case DRADIS scanning. The term originates from nautical sources, namely the jiggermast: the aft-most mast of a multi-masted sailing ship.

Joan Leyte

Joan Leyte is the minister of defense of who succeeded Minister Val Chambers following his murder in YR42, 58 years prior to the Fall of the Twelve Colonies. Minister Leyte awarded a long term Caprican Defense Department contract to Daniel Graystone after witnessing the successful test of the U-87 Cyber Combat Unit, dubbed the Cybernetic Life-Form Node ("Cylon"). Leyte held anti-Tauron beliefs, stating that "deceit is in their DNA" when noting that it was never their intention to take the contract to Vergis Corporation . 
Leyte is later replaced by Sasha Patel after Graystone fails to meet the ministry's production schedule, and the contract is transferred to Graystone's rival, Tomas Vergis.  The government's embarrassment over the theft of Vergis' meta-cognitive processor also played a likely role in Leyte's removal . 
==Notes ==
*Veena Sood is credited in Caprica's pilot as "Secretary of Defense" Joan Leyte. This title appears only in credits, as dialog in both the pilot and in "The Dirteaters" describes Leyte, her predecessor Val Chambers, and her successor Sasha Patel as "Minister."

 seems to be a good friend of Joe. The two might know each other from elsewhere in the Fleet, or Adama spent some time at the bar before introducing Tyrol to it. 
The bar includes a pool-like table and a Pyramid arcade game for entertainment. A distiller is present to produce fresh alcohol.
The airframe of a Viper Mark II is suspended from the ceiling above the bar, likely stripped of all useful parts akin to Viper 289 .
Before the Battle of the Colony, a piano was also added to the establishment .
== Notes ==
*The songs heard as background music in "Taking a Break From All Your Worries" are original compositions. One is titled "Lord Knows I Would," composed and performed by Raya Yarbrough - who is the voice of most vocals on the BSG soundtrack - and available on one her albums. "All That Remains" is also performed by her, but composed by Bear McCreary and is part of his Rest Stop soundtrack.
*On his website McCreary offers a soundclip for the song "All That Remains" (approx. 1.10 min).
*It seems improbable that a whole Viper would be set aside for decorating a bar. Even if it was merely a stripped-out shell, the body panels would no doubt be very useful when it comes to repairing other battle-damaged fighters.

Joe Palladino

Lieutenant Joe Palladino, callsign "Hammerhead," is a Viper pilot aboard . He leads a detachment of Marines to the civilian cargo ship Gideon. Colonel Saul Tigh orders him to retrieve desperately needed supplies from the Gideon, which withheld them from Galactica in protest of Tigh's declaration of martial law.
Due to his inexperience at riot control, Palladino is unable to maintain control of his forces and the irate civilian crowd during the food transfer. When the situation grows violent, one of his marines fires his weapon and other marines under his command begin shooting at random into the panicked crowd. Despite repeated orders to his Marines to cease fire, four civilians are killed during the incident. Palladino is reprimanded by Colonel Tigh for his failure .
The killings aboard the Gideon begin to exact a mental toll on Palladino. He blames the incident on Tigh and develops a deep and brooding hatred of the colonel. When reporter D'anna Biers investigates the Gideon incident, Palladino is forced to relive the nightmare all over again.
Palladino eventually snaps and decides to punish Tigh for the incident when no one else would. After leaving a threat in Tigh's quarters and sabotaging a Raptor that Tigh is to fly in to Cloud 9, Palladino invades Tigh's quarters, binds and gags his wife, Ellen, and waits for the Colonel to return.
When Tigh returns, Palladino confronts him with a gun but loses his nerve to shoot Tigh, who talks him down. Galactica Marines escort Palladino away in handcuffs while Biers and her camera crew look on .
Palladino's fate is unknown, particularly in light of the events at New Caprica.

John

John is a so-called "Being of Light".
He informs of the situation on Terra, hoping that Apollo will be able to resolve it peacefully. John's chief concern was that any outcome concerning the planet will have drastic intergalactic consequences. Although the consequences aren't stated, it is presumed that the Terrans are instrumental in some sort of long-term plan.
John tells Apollo that his "physical appearance" was a reflection of intelligence (i.e., spirit), and that he could do nothing outside the colossus (presumably, the Ship of Lights itself. As such, Apollo's assistance is needed. John, like any other Being, apparently could cause memory blocks and unblock them, as well as work through them by giving them a protective aura. He also comments on the fact that he needed humor in order to communicate with other "primitive" races.
In the apartment of Brenda Maxwell, Apollo speaks to John, who can't be heard or seen by anyone else. Under the guise of Charlie Watts, Apollo appears to be somewhat mentally unstable.
John is instrumental in also recruiting , who could hear him, but only see him after John gives him the protective aura. John then presumably talks to the Beings of Light by looking up in the sky, saying, "It's the best I can do with the material I've got. They're primitives!"
Ironically, John's objectives for Apollo to solve the Terran situation peaceably fail. Galactica intervention forces the Eastern Alliance to accept the peace accord from the Nationalists. John does admit, however, after some pestering from Apollo, that Terra isn't Earth and that they still had a long, interesting journey ahead of them .
== Notes ==
*Evidently, the John character goes against the pre-established information given in "War of the Gods," for Iblis had a physical body outside of any Ship of Lights or anything remotely similar. This being the case, either John was lying or the Beings that are inclined to pure good do not have the capacity of a "physical" body outside of the Ship of Lights.
*Additionally, it is interesting that Starbuck managed to hear John, albeit unable to see him until John touched him. (Indeed, John touched Starbuck within the physical laws of the Universe, as Starbuck reacted to it.) Disproving yet again that he (and presumably other Beings of Light) can attempt some form of physical contact, at least on some level. Although Starbuck's past experience (War of the Gods) with the Beings may have something to do with it.
*Actor Edward Mulhare went on to co-star in a more successful Glen A. Larson TV series Knight Rider.
*It is noteworthy that one of the writers of Battlestar Galactica, Donald P. Bellisario, would notably use the basic theme of the episode "Experiment in Terra" again. He put the hero in the guise of a local accompanied by a "holographic" companion that no one could see in the 1989 television show Quantum Leap.

John (RDM)

John is a human child who lives on the battlestar Galactica after the destruction of the Twelve Colonies, having been abandoned by his parents. He takes up residence in Brother Cavil's chapel and tries to bond with him. Cavil has little patience for the boy and repeatedly ejects him from the sanctuary, though the boy continues to return. At last Cavil cedes to the boy's tenacity and grudgingly welcomes him into the chapel. He feeds him and speaks with him at length, sharing his musings on issues and eventually asks him his name. The boy says his name is John, and that he considers the two of them to be friends. Cavil then promptly murders the boy with the knife he was using to cut an apple and coldly shoves his corpse away .
== Analysis ==
 
John the child serves as a parable to John Cavil the Cylon and his evolution both over the course of "The Plan" and the series itself. Their situations are quite similar: both have still-living parents who, for varying reasons, are no longer associated with their children, and both interpret that as their parents no longer wanting them. Furthermore, John's tenacious attempts to ingratiate himself to Cavil mirror Cavil's twisted attempts to win the love of his "parents," the Final Five. Both attempts are misguided and ultimately cost them both their lives.
==Notes==
*The character is not named in the closing credits, but is referred to simply as "Boy".
