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.
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 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.
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: 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.
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.
Visible crew/equipment: In the bottom left hand corner of the screen during the overhead shots of the celebration fire, you can see a camera, with white film canisters on a lower boom. (00:37:00 - 00:38:00)
Visible crew/equipment: After the pod has landed on the planet, when D'Argo and Rygel experience power loss, the hoverchair looses power and Rygel's thrown into the dirt. Then as Rygel shouts, "D'Argo? Where are you going?" the head of the puppeteer, who's wearing a knit cap, can be seen at the right side of the screen.
Visible crew/equipment: After John successfully instructs Aeryn on how to maneuver and slingshot Moya away from the PK's Command Carrier, Zhaan gives John a very special thank you. When it cuts to the DRD scooting across the floor in Moya's empty Command, a crew member wearing shorts can be seen at the right side of the screen, as he's looking in the direction of the DRD, and is presumably controlling the DRD's remote control.
Family Ties - S1-E22
Visible crew/equipment: After the transport pod successfully ignites the moon, D'Argo and John are floating in space while Aeryn's in her Prowler, and just as we hear Pilot start to say, "The offspring Leviathan, Talyn, has broken from Moya's side," we can see the face of Rygel's puppeteer under the table, at the bottom right of the screen.
Till the Blood Runs Clear - S1-E11
Revealing mistake: While John and Aeryn are in the module, which is leaking plasma, just as Pilot tells them that Moya does not want to put her baby at risk, we can see the puppeteer rods controlling Pilot's arms as they move.
Till the Blood Runs Clear - S1-E11
Continuity mistake: When Rorf and Rorg are firing at John and D'Argo who are pinned down in an area with no "back door," the lens surface on John's goggles are scratched/cracked, but once John makes the comment about soldiers of fortune and Aeryn walks out, the small holes on both lenses are now perfectly intact.
Continuity mistake: When Lishala gives John the map of the sky she asks him where his home world is, and John picks up a very small stone, but in the closeup he's holding a much larger stone in his hand, then in the wide shot it's small again before he throws it.
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.
