Battlestar Galactica

Scattered - S2-E1

Plot hole: Gaeta and Tigh both reference the fact that the Galactica crew computes the changes in stellar drift for FTL jumps and then sends out the info to the rest of the fleet for their use. However, when they fail to rendezvous with the fleet after the emergency jump, Gaeta realizes a mistake has been made and says that Galactica's info is out of date. This creates a major plot hole because if Galactica sends out the new info to the fleet, Galactica would always have the most up to date info for FTL jumps. The crew would be able to solve the lost fleet crisis by simply reloading the last coordinates that Galactica sent out and jumping there where the fleet would be waiting for them. There would be no need to go back to the previous coordinates and recompute the jump.

Daybreak: Part 3 - S4-E21

Plot hole: During the last Galactica jump, Kara enters different coordinates that she puts together in her head from her memories. There is no explanation as to how the fleet came up with those coordinates instead of the rendezvous coordinates. If the fleet had them as the rendezvous coordinates, Kara wouldn't have said "I don't have the rendezvous coordinates!" Right before the Galactica jump. Bill Adama also wouldn't have said in response "It doesn't matter! Just jump is out of here..." (00:05:54)

Suggested correction: In the flashback, Kara said "I thought that, if I assigned numbers to the notes." Those were the numbers she used for the notes to "All Along the Watchtower." She remembered them and used those for the coordinates.

Litmus - S1-E8

Continuity mistake: When Chief Tyrol finds Jammer, Socinus and Cally at the still, they are standing in that order with Socinus behind and between the other two. The shot cuts to the chief dumping out the booze. Then it cuts back to the trio. Now their positions have changed. Now Socinus is on the left, Jammer on the right with Cally behind and between the guys. (00:08:20)

Trivia: Season 1 Finale "Kobol's Last Gleaming Part 2" There is a fight between Tricia Heffler and Katee Sackoff, where the actresses decided to do their own stunts. Tricia threw Katee into a real vase, resulting in a large bruise. They both thought all the props around them were breakaway material.

Chosen answer: Her motives are never explained. One possibility would be curiosity, a simple experiment in human infant physiology. Another, perhaps more likely one from her subsequent look of apparent distress is that it was, in an odd way, an act of mercy, giving an innocent baby a swift death, rather than leaving it to die in the nuclear fire or of radiation poisoning afterwards.
