Liars, Guns and Money (3): Plan B - S2-E21
Other mistake: After Scorpius has some of his twisted fun with Crichton, it then cuts to Pilot saying, "Crais, we are very thankful that you allowed Talyn to respond to her mother's distress call," but the problem is Pilot refers to Talyn as "her" instead of saying "his mother's." We know Talyn is Moya's male Leviathan offspring, and everyone always refers to Talyn as he/him/his. (00:08:05)
John Quixote - S4-E7
Other mistake: Up to now, Stark's mask was on the right side of his face. In this episode, it is on the left.
Family Ties - S1-E22
Visible crew/equipment: After Rygel's transport pod returns to Moya, as the docking bay door slides open, in the shot facing everyone while they have their weapons drawn we can see the bare floor. However, when Aeryn checks Crais for hidden weapons and then as D'Argo approaches him, there's a blue crash mat on the floor. Then it vanishes again.
Relativity - S3-E10
Visible crew/equipment: When Stark and Aeryn are back aboard Talyn with Xhalax, who is tied up, when Stark says, "As far as I can tell, Talyn's systems are almost back to normal," we can see the puppeteer's face (wearing a weird black mask) and hands under Rygel's hoverchair.
...Different Destinations - S3-E5
Other mistake: While in the past on the Jocacean Memorial Planet, Sub-Officer Dacon is sent up on the wall by his commander. Then, when the Venek Horde are coming over the wall Aeryn pulls one down and throws him to the ground, and we can see an armor piece lying on the ground, with the name "Dacon" written on the inside of the prop in English.
Revealing mistake: After Rygel realizes that he can loosen the soil with the dumped gruel, it cuts to John and Aeryn as they approach the Tavlek camp, and when Aeryn tells John, "I am going to take out every last Tavlek. No survivors. No mercy. Now give me the oculars," John holds up the syringe (with Zhaan's sleep mist) that Aeryn had given him earlier, and we can see "DG-4" engraved on the side of the gun, revealing that the prop dept used the model DG-4 aluminum air blow dust gun to play the part of the syringe.
Visible crew/equipment: After D'Argo finds the Peacekeeper control panel and rips out the wire, he's thrown back and slides down a shaft. When he stops sliding we can see the safety cable behind him just before he finds the Peacekeeper shield, and then when he continues to slide down the shaft we can see the safety cable once again.
Visible crew/equipment: After John gets dressed in his cell Rygel points out John's cellmate, and when Aeryn removes her helmet we can see a nice reflection of the reflector screen, which is on the same side as the cell doors.
Visible crew/equipment: When Zhaan and Stark are at the bar, after Stark says, "That's just about the last of the DRDs. If Crichton's correct, they should give us some indication of where the signal's coming from," the boom mic dips into view at the top of the screen.
Visible crew/equipment: After Chiana is hurt John goes after Durka in the hangar bay. When Durka fires at John he leaps to take cover, we can see the blue crash mat that John lands on.
Visible crew/equipment: During Moya's attempt to land on the planet's bog-filled surface, in the close-up of Rygel as he begs for somebody to help tie him down, we can see Rygel's puppeteer, who's wearing eyeglasses and a cap, behind Rygel.
Look at the Princess (3): The Maltese Crichton - S2-E13
Visible crew/equipment: While D'Argo is in the room he shares with Chiana, D'Argo sniffs the air then growls, and just before Scorpius says, "I have found Cargn," the boom mic dips into view above Scorpius.
Self-Inflicted Wounds (2): Wait for the Wheel - S3-E4
Visible crew/equipment: While Aeryn and John are running in the corridor separately, when Aeryn and John meet in the corridor, just as she yells, "No, blocked! Outer hull rupture! Long way!" a crew member can be seen crouching at the right side of the screen.
Back and Back and Back to the Future - S1-E3
Visible crew/equipment: After Matala's shuttle and the Scorvian cruiser are torn apart by the black hole, when it cuts to Rygel in the galley as he burps just before John walks in, we can see the puppeteer's right arm and hand (wearing a wedding ring) behind Rygel.
Visible crew/equipment: After Crais "humbly" accepts Talyn's offer of the Hand of Friendship, just as the metal tentacle rises up from below the floor before the neural transponder is embedded in Crais, we can see a crew member's hand holding the tentacle at the bottom of the screen.
Visible crew/equipment: After D'Argo and Zhaan agree to be allies against Rygel, it cuts to Pilot's den and when Pilot tells Aeryn that he's in "nominal" pain, two puppeteer rods can be seen under Pilot's arm.
Thank God It's Friday... Again - S1-E6
Visible crew/equipment: After Aeryn extracts the worm from John's abdomen, when Rygel says, "If I were warmer, I would have an appropriately venomous reply. Be warned, I owe you one," he drops down off the table, and as Rygel waddles away the boom mic dips into view at the top right side of the screen.
Visible crew/equipment: After Chiana and Jothee lie to Rygel about a pot that exploded which caused the mess, it cuts to the room where Scorpius and his men are holed up while looking at a hologram map of the clinic, and in the first shot facing Grunchlk and Kobrin the boom mic dips into view at the top of the screen.
Visible crew/equipment: While the intellant virus is using John as a host, when John joins Hassan in the apothecary, just as Hassan says, "This is quite a collection of herbs and spices. Who uses them?" the boom mic dips into view at the top of the screen.
Visible crew/equipment: During Kcrackic and Rygel's Tadek game, after Zhaan tells them they have nothing left to bet, when Rygel wagers Moya we can see three of the puppeteer's wire cables running up Rygel's sleeve.
Chosen answer: It's never explained. John mentions a theory that his less technologically developed craft simply interferes with the wormhole less than the "superior" Vipers, but they never make a concrete determination on that point. But we also have to take into account the fact that Moya traverses wormholes with no ill effect as well.
