Visible crew/equipment: After Aeryn and John kill the parasitic Rygel and hundreds of little parasites, it cuts to the medlab where Rygel is explaining to D'Argo and Chiana what happened to him, and we can see the puppeteer's head behind Rygel. As an aside, earlier when Aeryn grabs parasitic Rygel off Zhaan and throws him, note that Zhaan's arm is under Rygel's robe to control his movements.
Visible crew/equipment: After Meelak opens the door to Rygel's quarters and asks Crichton why he wants the Hynerian's help, Rygel betrays Chrichton and says, "I don't think the mind cleansing is working," and when John punches Rygel's face, in the close-up we can see the puppeteer's fingers beside Rygel, behind the table.
Liars, Guns and Money (1): A Not So Simple Plan - S2-E19
Visible crew/equipment: When Scorpius is choking Crichton and Crichton says, "Aw, what's the matter Scorpy?", the boom mike pops into picture right above Crichton.
Liars, Guns and Money (1): A Not So Simple Plan - S2-E19
Visible crew/equipment: While Aeryn and John watch the monitors, when it cuts back to Scorpius et al walking in the corridor, just as Akkor says, "She'll be right with you. Please, understand," the camera spins around and the only thing in the hallway is the elevator security station with its round base behind Akkor. Then when Braca delivers blows to Akkor and he collapses, there are two overhead shots and we can see the crew's equipment at the bottom 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: 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.
Self-Inflicted Wounds (1): Could'a, Would'a, Should'a - S3-E3
Visible crew/equipment: While John, Zhaan, Neeyala, et al. Are trying to decide between Moya and the spiral ship, after Rygel snips, "You're both dying! And now you want to take us with you," when John throws the ball at Rygel we can see the puppeteer's fingers under Rygel's sleeve as the Hynerian raises his hands.
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.
Visible crew/equipment: When they spot the moon, Aeryn walks to the control systems and says "How could we miss it?" If you watch closely you can see the boom mic come in to picture above her.
Visible crew/equipment: After Crais asks if Aeryn have seen the surveillance logs, it cuts to a close-up shot of Crichton. If you look closely up in the left corner of the screen you can see the boom mike pop into view.
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.
Relativity - S3-E10
Visible crew/equipment: When they are suggesting decoys to lure the Retrieval Squad, Stark questions the idea and Crichton says "Stark, if you have any other ideas we'll be thrilled to hear them before we go out". At the same time they are walking down a passage way with the camera following. As they turn the corner the camera's shadow can be seen on the wall to the left.
Visible crew/equipment: While Talyn is flying towards the sun and everyone's screaming Talyn's name, we can see the puppeteer's arm going up into Rygel's sleeve at the left side of the screen.
Visible crew/equipment: When Stark and Sierjna go to Talyn's rudimentary pilot's den, notice that Stark's vest has suddenly developed five randomly placed grommet openings, which will be where Talyn's wiring will attach when Talyn bonds with Stark. And when Stark-Pilot says, "Talyn you will turn away, you must turn away," there's boom movement at the right and left of the screen. Also, later when Stark-Pilot flies Talyn closer to the sun to rescue Sierjna, and once she reappears, there's a shot from behind Stark-Pilot and we can see the long rod (not Talyn's wiring) that's behind his right leg attached to his pants, which is part of the support equipment to have Stark-Pilot hover.
Visible crew/equipment: At the start, while everyone's eating the buffet in the maintenance bay, after Pilot says, "Moya has not had peaceful rest since we entered the Tormented Space," the head of Rygel's puppeteer is visible at the left side of the screen.
Unrealized Reality (1) - S4-E11
Visible crew/equipment: When Crichton is about to take his last journey into the wormhole (in this episode at least) he pulls down the visor of his helmet. We can see four square and round white lights reflected that are not from the current scene.
Kansas (2) - S4-E12
Visible crew/equipment: After Scorpius tells Braca that the future of Peacekeeper survival depends on him, it cuts back to Earth and when the Sheriff says, "I got the warrant. Let's go search that house," as the car pulls away we can see a nice reflection of a crew member and the reflector screen.
Bringing Home the Beacon - S4-E16
Visible crew/equipment: After Rygel tells Noranti that she paid too much for having Moya's modulator fixed, and then begs her to cook for him, Aeryn and John come into view, and as they walk toward the camera we can see the moving shadows of the cameraman, camera, and boom mic at the right side of the screen.
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.
