Battlestar Friday

Seventy Days exactly until the premier of BSG Season Two. Must... hold out... until... then. In the meantime I picked up the DVD of the mini-series to help hold me over.

This week I give you a list of goofs/nitpicks in season one episodes. These are all that I could find and I am pretty impressed that these are pretty much it in thirteen one-hour episodes of an intense Sci-Fi TV show. If you know of more please add them in the comments. I am off to get my BSG fix for Friday night.

So say we all!

Battlestar Galactica (2003) - Goofs and Nitpicks Guide
TV Movie/Mini Series
*When Galactica makes its first faster than light jump, it should have its pods docked, as the ship just retracted them, but the visual shows the flight pods are extended.

Season 1
Bastille Day
*The Raptors with the Marines roll over and dock to the bottom of the prison ship and the Marines start cutting through the hull. When the camera moves inside the ship the Marines drop down through holes that appear cut into the top of the ship, instead of climbing up through the holes that we saw them cutting in the bottom of the ship.
*As Starbuck trains her laser sight on Zarek, the beam crosses the corner of his left eye. He would easily see this and react.

You Can't Go Home Again
*It says on the white board on Coloniel 1 that there are over 47 thousand civilians in the fleet. But in the episode "Water" there were 45,265, Civilians

Litmus
*One of the buildings on Caprica has a very large and very obvious Scotiabank symbol on it. As it was a white building, it should have been easy to remove.

Tigh Me Up, Tigh Me Down
*With Adama away and Col. Tigh orders the fleet to jump. There is never a counter order and the fleet never jumps.

The Hand of God
*When Adama gives Apollo the lighter, he asks Apollo if he can see the engraving. Apollo replies he can barely make it out. It very clearly reads Joseph Adama.
*When Starbuck is presenting her plan to attack the Cylon base, she says the decoy ships will jump to a position at "extreme radar range" from the Cylons. But normally the word "dradis" is used instead of "radar".
