Continuity errors (TOS)

From Battlestar Wiki, the free, open content Battlestar Galactica encyclopedia and episode guide

This is a listing of continuity errors in the original series.

Footage used from other sources

The snowram suddenly has a hood?
  • In "The Gun on Ice Planet Zero, Part I", at 00:33:53, the viewer is shown the perspective from the left front window looking out from what we're to believe is the snowram. However, this is a serious gaffe, as the snowram does not have a hood and it appears that there have been other vehicles in the path they are traveling in, when clearly traveling to Death Point Plateau is inadvisable due to the di-ethene levels.

Misplaced reused footage

"The Living Legend, Part II"

  • Around 00:45:18, Adama orders "positive shield" and the launch of Vipers. The scene is archive footage is from "Saga of a Star World". This is telling due ot the fact that Adama sports a cape and Omega's being replaced by another officer. When the scene resumes around 00:45:54, Adama's cape suddenly disappears and Omega reappears, reporting that there's a fire in Alpha bay.
  • As Pegasus engages the Cylons, the scene where the core command offers wince and react to the explosions is too ripped from "Saga of a Star World". Note the caped Adama in the blue uniform with Colonel Tigh on core command.

Reused special effects

  • In "The Living Legend, Part II", when Apollo and Starbuck begin strafing runs on the basestars to knock out their flank missle turrets, the turrets depicted are Galactica's laser turrets.
