The Continuity Guide
Eagle Guide
by Martin Willey

Library Shots

Many shots of Eagles were repeated in other episodes. Unfortunately, this often upset continuity, as Eagles would suddenly face the opposite direction on the launch pad or even change configuration (see the use of the booster pod). The first shot of an Eagle landing in Breakaway showed the Eagle landing with the port side to the docking tube, then had the actors leaving the opposite side. This pattern was repeated in most episodes.
