This is a listing of continuity errors in the original series.
Logic errors
- In "The Man with Nine Lives", when Chameleon tells Starbuck to "hit the deck", Starbuck lands near the front of the Viper as Chaemelon fires the Viper's lasers into the launch tube. After the volley is fired, the next scene finds Starbuck jumping out of the launch tube, which is filled with smoke, as if he were running the whole time.
Footage used from other sources
- 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.
