[[Wikipedia:Easter egg (media)|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 [[Battlestar Galactica (TOS)|the original series]].  This is also used during the conclusion of "[[Final Cut]]."
 
* There is a [[Wikipedia: Firefly (TV series)|''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.  [[Wikipedia:Serenity (Firefly vessel)|''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 [[Galactica (RDM)|Battlestar Galactica]] in the Firefly movie, [[Wikipedia:Serenity (film)|''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 [[Wikipedia: Blade Runner|''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 [[Wikipedia:The Matrix|''The Matrix'']], which is a replica of a scene from either [[Wikipedia:John Woo|John Woo]]'s [[Wikipedia: Hard Boiled|''Hard Boiled'']] or [[Wikipedia:The Killer (film)|''The Killer'']].
 
* Sharon has a print of [[Wikipedia:Adolf Hitler|Adolf Hitler]]'s [[Wikipedia:Mein Kampf|''Mein Kampf'']] on her bookshelf as she trashes it in '''episode(?)'''.
 
* "[[Flight of the Phoenix]]" is an homage to the movie [[Wikipedia: The Flight of the Phoenix|''Flight of the Phoenix'']].
 
* "[[Scar]]" is partly a homage to the [[Wikipedia: Space: Above and Beyond| ''Space: Above and Beyond'']] episode [[Wikipedia: The Angriest Angel|"The Angriest Angel"]].
 
* In "[[Exodus, Part II]]", as the [[The Fleet|Colonial Fleet]] lift off from New Caprica, you can see on the underside of the last ship a [[Wikipedia: Pan American World Airways|Pan Am]] logo towards the bow.  This ship is reportedly also in the [[Miniseries]].
