Easter Eggs (RDM)

This page is silly. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

I'm not quite sure if using the Silly page tag is the most appropriate for this, but am going with it for now. More in the discussion page as soon as I get the first pagedraft up.

Easter eggs! Battlestar Galactica contains a significant number of them. Though they may be listed in episode descriptions, that is not an easy way to find them, so they are collected here as they are found. Please indicate as specifically as possible where each is present. Pictures, too, if you can do so within the copyright guidelines of the Wiki.

• The music heard during the flyover in the Miniseries is a reorchestrated version of the main theme of the original series. This is also used during the conclusion of "Final Cut."

• There is a Firefly starship in the Miniseries. In Laura Roslin's physician's office, the scene opens with the camera pointed toward the glass ceiling. Viewers can see several ships flying nearby. Serenity is one of the last ships to fly by, just as the camera lowers down and focuses on the actors. It's ony there for a second or two, but it is very clear. There is also a Battlestar Galactica in the Firefly movie, Serenity. Unconfirmed reports place it at the ending battle in the nebula, and that frame-by-frame is necessary because it's only briefly visible and at a weird angle. Also, it is red.

• The guns they use in the first season are replicas of those used in Blade Runner.

• In "Bastille Day", there is a scene where Apollo holds a gun to Tom Zarek's head, which is a replica of a scene from The Matrix, which is a replica of a scene from either John Woo's Hard Boiled or The Killer.

• Sharon has a print of Adolf Hitler's Mein Kampf on her bookshelf as she trashes it in episode(?).

• "Flight of the Phoenix" is an homage to the movie Flight of the Phoenix.

• "Scar" is partly a homage to the Space: Above and Beyond episode "The Angriest Angel".

• In "Exodus, Part II", as the Colonial Fleet lift off from New Caprica, you can see on the underside of the last ship a Pan Am logo towards the bow. This ship is reportedly also in the Miniseries.
