Biggest blooper I've seen in BSG...

My Son & I just watched "Take The Celestra," and when Apollo & Starbuck pull into the Celestra's landing bay, Apollo's ship (in the foreground) appears to be missing the bottom fifth of its nose section!!!!

My Son missed it, but I was like, OMG! LOL! Plywood city!

Y'all notice any others?

I noticed that a few months back. Too funny! I have to intentionally avoid looking at the bottom of the screen when I watch that episode now!

If you also notice the length of the Vipers nose is about half as long as it should be, since this was the forced perspective mockup that was meant to be used for the close cockpit shots only. Good idea on their part to use it to give the appearance of two full Vipers in the screen, but they could have framed their shot a bit better.

I remember the first time I ever noticed that was back in late 2003 after the DVD set was released. I was quite shocked that the shot made it into the episode, but then there are those tales of how rushed production was and all...

I think that someone even posted a pic of that shot way back then.

Definitely a big "whoops"...
