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 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: 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: 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: 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.
The Hidden Memory (2) - S1-E20
Visible crew/equipment: After Pilot (on viewer) tells Rygel and Chiana, "Moya's data stores indicate it may be best to get the offspring out as fast as possible," when it cuts to Rygel's close-ups we can see the blonde head of the puppeteer at the lower left side of the screen.
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: 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 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.
Visible crew/equipment: Zhaan is talking to Tahleen as they've recently landed on the planet. When Tahleen says, "Perhaps our many cycles of reclusion contributed to an error in judgment," you can see the shadow from the camera moving on Zhaan.
Visible crew/equipment: While on the planet, when Crichton is talking with Lyneea about the military not being very compassionate and Crichton says, "No, militaries rarely are": when it cuts back to Lyneea we can see the shadow from the camera moving on her. (00:27:55)
Visible crew/equipment: When Pilot is closing all the doors, in one shot you can see a hand closing the door. (00:40:50)
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.
Visible crew/equipment: After Aeryn activates the cannon on the Leviathan baby's exterior, when Aeryn says, "Pilot...please let me know if any Peacekeeper scans are imminent," as she walks away the camera follows her, and we can see a nice reflection of the cameraman/crew member at the right side of the screen. The reflection's briefly visible again when Chiana says, "The only weapon we've got is that kid."
The Hidden Memory (2) - S1-E20
Visible crew/equipment: After the shot of Gilina, Aeryn, and John crouching under a floor grate, while hiding from the PKs, it cuts back to Moya, and just as Chiana reaches Rygel we can see the base of his hoverchair.
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.
