• 26:29 - Editor's Note: Marshall was going to make the point that Michelle Forbes also plays the captain of the Pegasus in Battlestar Galactica.
• 30:56 - Editor's Note: The etymology of "avox" is interesting. It's a combination of "a," meaning "without," and "vox," which is Latin for "voice." So "avox" translates literally to "without voice." Pretty cool, huh?
