Revealing: Throughout the entire run of the series, special effects shots are repeated over and over, often half a dozen times in the same episode. Budget problems forced the practice, but at times it is so pronounced as to become a distraction. The same Cylon raider banking to the side, hit by laser fire and exploding outward to its sides, is probably seen more often than any other single shot in the show. It is flipped many times so that it can bank left, then be used to bank right, providing two shots for the price of one. Submitted by John W Rosa

Revealing: Several times, close up shots of the Cylons show the shoulders and chest moving slightly as the actor inside breathes. Though originally conceived as a reptiloid species, the Cylons became strictly robotic when BG went to series. So Cylons are robots that don't breathe. Submitted by Grumpy Scot
