The most popular bearer of the name Jonah is the character from the Old Testament. He was swallowed by a great sea creature and after staying inside it for three days and three nights was vomited onto land. This story has become a metaphor for being trapped, imprisoned, etc.

The title seems to be a play on the saying "What goes around comes around" (i.e. our actions are passed on until they return to us).

Trance is flipping a coin and hitting tails on every try. Dylan notes that she has four in a row, and Trance says actually it is 57, and that it's getting boring. After some conversation she flips the coin again. Dylan catches it in the air and slowly uncovers. They both look at the coin and laugh.

The episode to recall - "A Rose In The Ashes".

The end scene with Dylan flipping a ration disk from the prison. Trance enters and he explains to her an old Earth coin game: "This side's heads, this side's tails. I flip it in the air, you call it: Heads or tails." She says: "Tails". Wrong! After swift dialogue on current events Dylan tosses her the disk and leaves. Trance flips the disk, smiling, as she apparently gets it right every time: "Heads. Tails. Tails. Heads. Heads."

Some other bits from that episode are interesting too. For example, badly terraformed Penal planet. Once sent there, no one leaves (sounds familiar?). Dylan was dispatched here for offering Commonwealth, accompanied by Rommie. At Dylan's first minutes of incarceration prisoners started chanting - no, not "Intruder" - "Newbie".

Harper swings the board, breaking it over Rhade's back.

Gordon Woolvett said that the board was actually balsa wood, but what Gordon didn't realise is that its only effective if you hit the actor 'straight' on and with all your strength, unfortunately he pulled the punch, caught Steve at an angle and got his straight in the kidney! He got it right the second time though!
<...> Steve Bacic explained that its probably his own fault as just before the scene he had warned Gordon that he can 'snap' when provoked or hit, without warning, and to just be aware of that and he felt Gordon took that a little seriously and might have been a little hesitant about hitting him! After Gordon had hit him, he was quick to step away hehe, and Steve simply said he was peeing blood for a week! Then he said that he retrieved the 'eventual' broken balsa wood and got Gordon to sign it, and he signed the other section and then got the behind the scenes guys to put it in a presentation box, to be auctioned on ebay for charity.

Orlund's (actually, Vedran's) weapon that turns its victims to stone is very much alike Gorgons - monstrous maidens of Greek mythology, who could change men to stone at a glance. Medusa was the famous one. The hero Perseus killed her and on his way home made a use of such powerful weapon. First he petrified the sea monster while saving beautiful Andromeda, then recasted from human form into rock the man to whom she was betrothed and his associates, then changed to statues king Polydectes and his courtiers to vacate throne. After that he gave Medusa's head to Athena, wisest of all Greek deities, who placed it in the middle of her aegis. Oddly enough, for many centuries image of the Gorgon's head was serving an apotropaic function of warding off evil spirits and bad luck.

Martin Wood just directed an episode that involves Dylan being seriously (life threatening) hurt at the beginning and then during the ep kissing someone he should *never* kiss - been asked jokingly if it was male or female, Martin just grinned and said 'it's a Gordon Woolvett script'. The episode is going to feature a homage to the film "Equilibrium", because Dylan will at some point meet his equal and the fight scene [similar to one] from "Equilibrium" where the two characters keep blocking will be seen in this ep. Martin said Kevin Sorbo took him to one side at the end of shooting to say that was the best work he's ever seen from the Andromeda team by far.

Steve Bacic told me alittle spoiler. Dylan flips out and Gaheris Rhade returns. <...> Steve said he had played himself killing himself. (Steve Bacic at Mid Ohio Comic Convention - from reports by DWF and Chelleybean)
