The Hidden Memory (2) - S1-E20
Visible crew/equipment: After Pilot (on viewer) tells Rygel and Chiana, "Moya's data stores indicate it may be best to get the offspring out as fast as possible," when it cuts to Rygel's close-ups we can see the blonde head of the puppeteer at the lower left side of the screen.
The Hidden Memory (2) - S1-E20
Visible crew/equipment: After the shot of Gilina, Aeryn, and John crouching under a floor grate, while hiding from the PKs, it cuts back to Moya, and just as Chiana reaches Rygel we can see the base of his hoverchair.
Visible crew/equipment: After Aeryn activates the cannon on the Leviathan baby's exterior, when Aeryn says, "Pilot...please let me know if any Peacekeeper scans are imminent," as she walks away the camera follows her, and we can see a nice reflection of the cameraman/crew member at the right side of the screen. The reflection's briefly visible again when Chiana says, "The only weapon we've got is that kid."
Family Ties - S1-E22
Visible crew/equipment: After Rygel's transport pod returns to Moya, as the docking bay door slides open, in the shot facing everyone while they have their weapons drawn we can see the bare floor. However, when Aeryn checks Crais for hidden weapons and then as D'Argo approaches him, there's a blue crash mat on the floor. Then it vanishes again.
Family Ties - S1-E22
Visible crew/equipment: After the transport pod successfully ignites the moon, D'Argo and John are floating in space while Aeryn's in her Prowler, and just as we hear Pilot start to say, "The offspring Leviathan, Talyn, has broken from Moya's side," we can see the face of Rygel's puppeteer under the table, at the bottom right of the screen.
Visible crew/equipment: After Crais "humbly" accepts Talyn's offer of the Hand of Friendship, just as the metal tentacle rises up from below the floor before the neural transponder is embedded in Crais, we can see a crew member's hand holding the tentacle at the bottom of the screen.
Visible crew/equipment: After Zhaan has taken control of the Halosian ship, when Zhaan's transmission appears on Moya's clamshell viewer, in the shots facing Rygel, John, and Aeryn (in each others' bodies) we can see the puppeteer, who's wearing a headset, with his right arm up in Rygel's sleeve. Fun to watch.
Visible crew/equipment: When they listen to the sphere's signal to analyze it, in the shots of Rygel, D'Argo, and John, particularly when John asks, "What stopped?" just before the message that only the three Johns hear, we can see the brunette puppeteer with his arm up Rygel's sleeve, at the right side of the screen.
Look at the Princess (2): I Do, I Think - S2-E12
Visible crew/equipment: After John and Princess Katralla escape the room filled with poison gas from the silver orb, it cuts to Rygel and Empress Novia discussing John's need for protection, and we can see the movement of the dark-haired puppeteer behind Rygel's chair.
Look at the Princess (3): The Maltese Crichton - S2-E13
Visible crew/equipment: While D'Argo is in the room he shares with Chiana, D'Argo sniffs the air then growls, and just before Scorpius says, "I have found Cargn," the boom mic dips into view above Scorpius.
Look at the Princess (3): The Maltese Crichton - S2-E13
Visible crew/equipment: While Tyno, Chiana, D'Argo, and Rygel are in the senate chamber with the headless statue of John, when Empress Novia shouts, "whether they purport to be a friend of the crown or not!" we can see Rygel's greyish haired puppeteer, who is hiding behind Rygel, move as Empress Novia walks by.
Visible crew/equipment: After John acts out what the word "shoot" means before he and Aeryn release the vorc, it cuts to the wiggly-eared vorc moving down a corridor while Aeryn and John follow behind him, and we can see a crew member's arm holding cables for the moving animatronic vorc, at the left side of the screen.
Visible crew/equipment: After Aeryn and John kill the parasitic Rygel and hundreds of little parasites, it cuts to the medlab where Rygel is explaining to D'Argo and Chiana what happened to him, and we can see the puppeteer's head behind Rygel. As an aside, earlier when Aeryn grabs parasitic Rygel off Zhaan and throws him, note that Zhaan's arm is under Rygel's robe to control his movements.
Visible crew/equipment: After Meelak opens the door to Rygel's quarters and asks Crichton why he wants the Hynerian's help, Rygel betrays Chrichton and says, "I don't think the mind cleansing is working," and when John punches Rygel's face, in the close-up we can see the puppeteer's fingers beside Rygel, behind the table.
Liars, Guns and Money (1): A Not So Simple Plan - S2-E19
Visible crew/equipment: When Scorpius is choking Crichton and Crichton says, "Aw, what's the matter, Scorpy?", the boom mic pops into picture right above Crichton.
Liars, Guns and Money (1): A Not So Simple Plan - S2-E19
Visible crew/equipment: While Aeryn and John watch the monitors, when it cuts back to Scorpius et al walking in the corridor, just as Akkor says, "She'll be right with you. Please, understand," the camera spins around and the only thing in the hallway is the elevator security station with its round base behind Akkor. Then, when Braca delivers blows to Akkor and he collapses, there are two overhead shots and we can see the crew's equipment at the bottom of the screen.
Liars, Guns and Money (3): Plan B - S2-E21
Other mistake: After Scorpius has some of his twisted fun with Crichton, it then cuts to Pilot saying, "Crais, we are very thankful that you allowed Talyn to respond to her mother's distress call," but the problem is Pilot refers to Talyn as "her" instead of saying "his mother's." We know Talyn is Moya's male Leviathan offspring, and everyone always refers to Talyn as he/him/his. (00:08:05)
Visible crew/equipment: After Chiana and Jothee lie to Rygel about a pot that exploded which caused the mess, it cuts to the room where Scorpius and his men are holed up while looking at a hologram map of the clinic, and in the first shot facing Grunchlk and Kobrin the boom mic dips into view at the top of the screen.
Continuity mistake: When Aeryn fires D'Argo's Qualta blade at Plonek, it hits the Scarran multiple times on his left side creating a large bloody wound on his chest, and then John shoves the icicle into the right side of Plonek's chest. However, after Plonek pushes John to the ground, in the close-up the icicle is on Plonek's left side with no wound on his right, but when Plonek collapses the icicle is back on his right, and still the bloody wound is gone.
Continuity mistake: After Aeryn uses up D'Argo's Qualta blade on the Scarran who's after John and D'Argo, John grabs a huge icicle and plunges it into Plonek's chest with his right hand, but in the close-up John's using his left hand, then in the next shot the icicle's back in his right hand.
Chosen answer: It's never explained. John mentions a theory that his less technologically developed craft simply interferes with the wormhole less than the "superior" Vipers, but they never make a concrete determination on that point. But we also have to take into account the fact that Moya traverses wormholes with no ill effect as well.
