Saga of a Star World (1) - S1-E1
Other mistake: When Cassiopeia is on a slab being tended to by the aliens, she yells "Starbuck", but the DVD subtitles say "Stop it". (01:59:00)
Saga of a Star World (1) - S1-E1
Deliberate mistake: When the large formation of Cylons attack, the graphic that Athena is looking at shows the approaching Cylon ships as triangles, as usual. But it also shows two asterisks leading that formation, and the asterisk is the symbol for Vipers. There are NO Vipers leading the Cylons in this sequence. This graphic is a reuse of the one from the big battle at the start of the episode when Apollo and Zac were being pursued by an earlier large formation of Cylons. (02:00:30)
Saga of a Star World (1) - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: When the Vipers come to Galactica's rescue, an interior shot shows a pilot hitting the 'Turbo' button. The next exterior shot shows two Vipers pulling upward as we hear the familiar sound of the Turbos- but no white exhaust is emitted by these two Vipers as normally seen when Turbo is used. Seconds later in the same shot, the sound is heard again as two more Vipers turn right, but they do display the white exhaust effect. (02:07:40)
Saga of a Star World (1) - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: As the Vipers join in the defense of the Galactica, an exterior shot zooms in on the side of Galactica, showing that her name is missing from the front side of her port landing bay. (02:07:55)
Saga of a Star World (1) - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: After the big battle, Apollo announces that the Cylons are "on the run". Adama orders all the Vipers back on board Galactica, and when they've landed, he is informed that two are missing. Apollo and Starbuck have headed off to find the Cylon base ship on which a Cylon reports to the Imperious Leader that an attack is imminent. When the leader suggests that their Cylon Raiders can defend them, the Cylon replies that the Raiders are still engaging Galactica- but this hasn't been true for sometime- that battle is over. (02:09:40 - 02:11:05)
Saga of a Star World (1) - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: At the end of the big battle, at least four Cylon Raiders are seen fleeing the battle area. Then, using phony radio chatter, Starbuck and Apollo fake that their two ships are actually four full squadrons, ready to attack the base star. Starbuck tries to fake that two more squadrons can join them, but Apollo states that they aren't needed. But the Cylon reporting to his leader states that SIX squadrons are approaching (not just the four) and that all their Raiders were destroyed in the battle. A Cylon does not exaggerate, nor can he be mistaken or lie- yet he IS wrong in this scene. (02:09:40 - 02:12:15)
Saga of a Star World (1) - S1-E1
Plot hole: Apollo takes Adama down to the surface of Caprica aboard his Viper, yet the Viper is a single-seat fighter. This is the only time the single-seat craft is used to carry two people (though there is no shot of the two aboard - it is simply shown landed with the two characters nearby).
Suggested correction: It was 2 seater Viper training aircraft.
Saga of a Star World (1) - S1-E1
Revealing mistake: During the sequence where Starbuck is attempting to land his damaged Viper on the Galactica flight deck, Athena begins running a diagnostic scan on her computer. In the first insert shot of her computer screen, near the top right hand side of the shot, the words "MADE IN USA" are legible in the diagram. These survivors of the "12 Colonies" are searching for a mythical 13th colony known as "Earth" that they've never been to, so having American software is quite out of place.
Saga of a Star World (1) - S1-E1
Other mistake: Assuming the Colonial fighters are pretty much identical, Apollo's control stick is marked with usual controls, whereas Zac's stick is marked completely differently, but performs exactly the same.
Saga of a Star World (1) - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: As Apollo spots the Cylon warships, the lights around the face area go from lit to unlit between cuts.
Saga of a Star World (2) - S1-E2
Continuity mistake: When Apollo, driving the land rover, is explaining the Cylons' origin to Boxey, the position of the mouthpiece on his headset changes slightly as the camera angles reverse.
Saga of a Star World (2) - S1-E2
Continuity mistake: As Starbuck and Boomer listen to the Council, Boomer's pose alternates from profile to fully facing the council.
Saga of a Star World (2) - S1-E2
Character mistake: When Starbuck and Apollo cross-wire the lift to reach the lower levels, they forget to undo their handiwork. Convenient to the plot, this oversight allows Boxey to wander into the Ovions' stronghold and require rescuing.
Saga of a Star World (3) - S1-E3
Plot hole: Starbuck and Apollo fool the Cylon basestar into believing they're two full viper squadrons. The Cylons haven't yet fully retreated behind Carillon (they order this as we watch), so their scanners should have been able to detect this deception far sooner than they did.
The Lost Planet of the Gods (1) - S1-E4
Continuity mistake: While on patrol, Apollo enters a void in space, where no stars or other navigational fixes are visible. But in at least one shot, his ship is shown from the left side with stars in the background. It's the shot immediately after Adama says, "That's odd." (00:12:00)
The Lost Planet of the Gods (1) - S1-E4
Audio problem: Throughout this episode, Lucifer is audibly breathing while speaking, yet he is a robot, and unlike "Data" on "Star Trek", does not mimic human traits. (00:16:40)
The Lost Planet of the Gods (1) - S1-E4
Visible crew/equipment: After the scene when Apollo and Starbuck go into the decontamination booths, it cuts to Adama, Boomer and the doctor talking. When they walk from the bridge and Adama says "I want everyone who's been in contact with Jolly and Boomer under strict quarantine", you can see the boom mike shadow moving on the wall to the right of the screen. (00:21:40)
The Lost Planet of the Gods (1) - S1-E4
Plot hole: This episode shows that, upon return from "long patrols", pilots are expected to use decontamination booths before rejoining the general population- a reasonable precaution. Strangely, Apollo and Starbuck walk among several ship personnel on their way to the two decontamination booths. If the pilots are walking among others on their way to the booths, this seems one rather pointless process. (00:21:50)
The Lost Planet of the Gods (1) - S1-E4
Visible crew/equipment: When Boxey is playing with Muffit, and Muffit plays dead, you can see a black tape marker by their feet. The marker remains there for some shots, then it's gone. Later, when Apollo and Serina argue about her training to be a pilot and Serina says "He doesn't get a report on every cadet in the fleet", Apollo walks towards the bed. There is another black tape marker where he place his foot, but it wasn't there in earlier shots. (00:23:30 - 00:24:55)
The Lost Planet of the Gods (1) - S1-E4
Continuity mistake: When Boxey plays with Muffit, a red chair on the right sits away from the wall and turned slightly. Boxey and Muffit leave the room as Serina and Apollo argue, and when Apollo walks toward the chair, it is not turned as much and is much closer to the wall. (00:24:20 - 00:25:55)
