In the Battlestar Galactica miniseries, at 14:44, the camera is looking out the window in the doctor’s office, and I swear on my pretty floral bonnet that there is a firefly ship that flies through the sky. If someone could help me figure out how to take a screenshot of the video in linux (It’s only copying a blue screen instead of the video’s image), I could prove it.
But I swear to god it’s a firefly. It’s a clear shot, relatively big. There’s no mistaking it.
Fucking awesome.

Yes! that’s it exactly. A few others claim that the ship shows up in other places too. Spiffyneat huh. :)

definitely! as you say, “spiffyneat” ;) … i’m sure there’s a site out there that lists all of “serenity”s appearances in galactica, there’s gotta be, right?
btw, how’s does the new series compare to the original? i read about the cylon android and olmos as adama, but that’s all i know ;D

I haven’t seen the original, but I’d say the new BSG is good sci-fi. Very dark stories and the camera action is jittery enough that I was a little scared to watch after the fourth episode, though I overcame that.
What I liked most was in situations where things could go to crap or go well it seemed to go to crap very often, wheras in any of the recent Star Treks everything was just on rails to the happy place.
