The super scouts are unfamiliar with the term "eagle" as it is an animal indigenous to Earth and did not exist in the Colonies, yet in "War of the Gods," there are mugs in the officers club with an eagle on them.
Troy and Dillon are wearing lamps on their heads during the attack on the Delphi. Both remove the headgear as they walk towards the camera with the children. But when they are shown walking away in a closer shot, they are wearing the lamps again.
The shuttle full of schoolchildren doesn't "have enough fuel" to reach the fleet. Space doesn't have friction that would slow the shuttle down if they shut off the engines and coasted.
When the second Super Scout jumps to experience Earth gravity, his hair flies upwards too, revealing it's a downward jump run in reverse.
During the attack on the Delphi, the same footage of swirling smoke is super imposed over many shots repeatedly. This is especially noticeable when footage cuts between two people and the smoke remains in nearly the same position.
As the Cylons attack the Schooling Freighter, Gemini, some of the damage occurring is shown. One shot is clearly a shot of damage happening to Galactica's bridge. Reused footage.
Near start of the show, During the Cylon attack on the freighter with the children on board, there is a series of explosions on board the ship obviously taken from stock footage. One of them clearly shows railway lines and a steam train center screen. Furthermore, all this footage was shot with anamorphic lenses and not properly desqueezed for the series' 1.35:1 aspect ratio.
Lieutenant Dillon states that Galacticans live under higher gravity and a denser atmosphere compared to Earth, warning the Galactican children that they may experience significant changes if and when they land on Earth. However, in the previous three episodes, Jamie Hamilton (a reporter from Earth), is brought aboard the Galactica several times and never expresses any distress from increased atmospheric pressure or higher gravity, something she would not have been used to.
Either this detail was overlooked or the differences between Galactican and Earth habitats are exaggerated by Dillon (which means the children would not have been able to perform acrobatic feats from a slight difference in gravity).
