Continuity mistake: When Apollo asks Starbuck "Where's John", Starbuck answers as if he knows who John is, yet Starbuck never asked nor was told John's name. (00:32:30)
Continuity mistake: When Apollo speaks with Adama, close-ups show the left side of Apollo's face is mostly shadowed while the right is well lit. In the wider shots, the left side is very well lit. (00:44:30)
The Lost Planet of the Gods (2) - S1-E5
Continuity mistake: When Serina rings the bell and says "This round's on me", she lets go of the rope. When it cuts she is still holding the rope. (00:05:55)
Greetings from Earth (2) - S1-E20
Continuity mistake: When Starbuck and Apollo slide down the roof and hit the soldiers, the soldier that Apollo lands on loses his helmet. When it cuts his helmet is on and he loses it again. (01:29:55)
Continuity mistake: When Galactica closes the shield for the bridge this time, it is a two-piece design as seen on Pegasus in the previous episode (one piece rises halfway up to meet the second that lowers halfway- like eyelids closing). But before this episode, Galactica's shield was a one piece version lowered from top to bottom to close. There is nowhere for the ship to have gone and had a refit- it simply appears in this episode. (00:07:00)
Continuity mistake: When three Vipers land on a planet, the pilots emerge and discuss how odd everything looks in the strange lighting of this world. The colors of these shots have been altered so that grass and other green plants look red, and the red stripes of the Vipers look a yellowish green. Naturally, this has made the pilots look a bit odd, too. But when the scene changes to an area devoid of living plants, the colors return to normal Earth-like hues- as if this world's sun has suddenly changed its attributes. (00:09:55)
The Lost Planet of the Gods (2) - S1-E5
Continuity mistake: During the wedding ceremony, Adama states he is about to recite the most powerful words in the universe. He then says "Under the eyes of God, bound by the symbol of the faiths of the Lord of Kobol.". But in doing so, the actor forgot that in the show's "universe", humans believe in multiple gods, referring to them as the "Lords of Kobol" and "The Gods". (00:17:05)
The Gun on Ice Planet Zero (2) - S1-E9
Continuity mistake: When they plant explosive charges on the pulsar weapon, Apollo, Croft and Lida are wearing black utility shoulder belts over their snow parkas. All three belts disappear in the very next shot. (00:38:35)
Continuity mistake: Apollo and Vella sit in front of the fire and she tells him about her late husband. In the two-shots, their shoulders are touching. But in all the close-ups, it's apparent that they're much farther apart and turned to face each other rather than sitting side by side. (00:16:15)
Continuity mistake: When Adama exits the cell, the shot from inside shows the guard's right arm is down at his side. When the shot changes to a view from outside the cell, the guard's arm is raised with his hand working the cell door control. (00:07:10)
Continuity mistake: As the shuttle approaches the Celestra, Apollo is told he is crazy to try and land in the dark. The view forward shows the landing bay of Celestra is pitch black in darkness. Seconds later, another shot shows the landing bay is now bathed in blue light. Once landed and aboard, they exit the shuttle into the very-well-lit landing bay. But nobody has ever turned any lights on. (00:40:30)
Continuity mistake: When John turns Starbuck's uniform white, the flight jacket's cuffs suddenly become much larger. (00:27:00)
Continuity mistake: When Boomer tells Starbuck to check his scanner, it shows three Cylon ships approaching. In the next shot, four Cylon ships attack, not three. (00:03:30)
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)
Saga of a Star World (1) - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: In the beginning, when the President says "Noble delegates, you're anxious to go back to your ships.", you can see a servant serving a person across the table. When the shot cuts, the servant is serving another person two seats away. (00:02:55)
Continuity mistake: When Starbuck and Apollo discuss going to see Aurora, the wide side shot shows Starbuck's hair hangs down to the corner of his right eye. But shots showing Starbuck from the front show his hair at least an inch above his eye. (00:12:50)
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 (1) - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: As Apollo spots the Cylon warships, the lights around the face area go from lit to unlit between cuts.
