Observations: All That Glisters

Thanks to Thomas

When Helena pronounces Tony dead, her hair is slightly out of place. We see the reactions of the others, then a group shot, which reveals that Helena's hair is suddenly very dishevelled. When we return after the commercial break, Helena has evidently tidied her hair. Thanks to Michael Thompson.

The position of Tony's commlock changes while he is unconscious. Shortly before the Eagle takes off, it has disappeared.

When Tony stands, after the Eagle launch, he suddenly has a stun gun in his hand and the commlock in the other. It would have been a sensible precaution to remove his stun gun.

Apparently only Tony's commlock can open the Eagle door (Koenig states "If we can take Tony's commlock, we can open that Eagle door."). Yet when he returns with the first piece of rock, he is carrying it with both hands and could not operate his commlock. Later when Reilly returns to the Eagle, he carries the Maya/rock in both hands but also holds Tony's commlock.

When Koenig and Alan meet Maya and Dave to tell him his source was wrong, Alan's hands are visible ; in the next shot, they are in his pockets. All the characters are closer to one another than in the previous shot.

The laser rifle is only present when Helena is trapped against the wall- at other times it has gone.

When Reilly takes Tony's commlock, the long shot shows he is some distance from the commlock. The close up shows him taking it within easy reach. Note the medium shot of his head shows Maya has changed position.

As the Eagle rises and descends, Koenig, Alan and Reilly grimace, but Catherine Schell seems to be laughing.
When Tony first walks out the Eagle, they search extensively for him. He must have taken the direct route between the rock and the Eagle and back again, which seems the obvious place to start looking.
