- It is said that they have "lost three men". While this is technically correct, they forget that Sarah Graham died. edit »
- While talking to Alpha from Piri, Koenig is shown on the Main Mission screen looking down into his commlink from quite a distance away, but there were no other camera devices present with which to record his image from this angle. He should have been shown looking directly into the camera as he was looking into the commlock which was doing all the recording. edit »
- When Alan looks into the cockpit of the Eagle, the shot of him shows the door open and the lights dimmed, but the shot of the pilot seats shows the lights fully on and the door closed. edit »
- When Eagle 24 lands on Alpha, it had somehow acquired a booster pod that it didn't have in any scenes previously. edit »
- In the shot of the whole Alpha base as an Eagle is raised up on the launch pad, the Eagle is positioned so that it's engines are facing the docking tube area, so no one could have got aboard. edit »
