In the first episode of the 2003 Battlestar Galactica mini-series, Serenity from Firefly can be seen flying above the doctor's office where Laura Roslin learns she has cancer.
BSG 2004: Actress Tricia Helfer had to have her hair constantly dyed to keep it blonde. She is naturally a darker haired blonde. She asked for a wig, but the producers refused due to cost. About a week later poor Tricia's hair fell out due to being constantly dyed. The show was obligated to spend $10,000 to have wigs rushed to the set for her. She wore a wig throughout the rest of the series.
The USS Reliant in "Wrath of Khan" is upside down. Originally the model was designed to have the warp nacelles above the saucer section. However, due to a misunderstanding the plans were approved upside down. Honestly, I think it works better because the two ships looked very different, but were obviously from the same fleet.
We all know about Viggo breaking his toe in "The Two Towers". But did you know that in "Fellowship of the Ring" he really did deflect a thrown dagger with his sword in the final fight scene?
Farscape 1999 was produced by the Jim Henson company, the same production company that made the muppets. Many models from the Henson's company's earlier productions were used in the show. Also, Lani John Tupu who played Bilar Craise also was the voice for the Pilot of Moya.
In "Fellowship of the Ring" when Gandolf confronts the Balrog, actor Ian McKellen was acting to a golf ball. On the flip side, when Sam and Frodo see Cirith Ungol after escaping Shelob's lair, the tower was actually there on set with them. They did not have to pretend seeing it.
