Observations: The Seance Spectre


		When Tony is shot, he falls backwards. Sanderson and the others do not move his body, but he should have fallen in the centre of the four desks, with his head towards the Big Screen. When he wakes up, he is between the desks alongside Sandra. Even if he fell to the side, his head is where his feet should be. Thanks to Thomas.
		The effect of being stunned is inconsistent. When Maya is stunned, at close range, she slumps forward over a desk. Sandra falls to the side, and Tony backwards (although see above). When Koenig is stunned, at some distance, he is hurled through the air as if hit by a fast car. Thanks to Thomas.
	After Sanderson first takes over Command Center, Koenig and Alan return their Eagle to Alpha, land, use the Travel Tube, and run down a corridor. Two guards also run up and they find the unconscious guard. It took the guards the same amount of time to travel to Command Center and find their colleague as it took Koenig to return. Thanks to John Day.
		Most badges show the initial and surname. Sanderson's badge just has his surname (perhaps because it is long). It also says his section is "Command Centre". Sandra's badge originally read "S Benes" at the start of the series, but now it just reads "Sahn". Sanderson's unruly hair is inconsistent in some scenes.
		When Sanderson storms into Command Center, the wider shots show Tony and Alan holding up their stun guns. In a reaction shot, they are not holding their arms up. In the wider view, they only lower their guns when the two guards arrive with Helena. Thanks to John Day.
		The close-up of Sanderson is a cheat so his back appears against the wall. The edge of the command desk shows it has been moved 45 degrees. If he were in the same position as in the long shot, we would see the fourth wall (which of course does not exist, because that's the normal camera position).
	As Sanderson and the others enter the Computer Room, the shadows of the camera and a cameraman's head are seen against the wall. Thanks to Thomas.
	This shot shows a stack of monitors on top of the console in front of Koenig. They are not there in other shots (fortunately, because they would be thrown into Koenig's face during the upcoming crash landing).
		After the crash, Koenig and Maya reach out to hold hands. In the next shot, Maya stands up. Between the two shots, her seatbelt has been released. Thanks to Thomas.
		How does the Eagle move from the large cross-shaped pad to the smaller rectangular platform? (also seen in Space Warp). Seen from the surface, the black borders around the red platform overhang the lift shaft. But seen from inside the shaft looking up, there is no overhang. It is unclear where the covers that seal the top of the shaft come from (the top surface isn't movable).
		In the travel tube seance, the lights fade by themselves - as if they do have supernatural powers. Also note that as the camera closes in, a shadow (probably of the microphone) can be seen moving in on the left.
		When Koenig is shot by Sanderson, he is wearing a stun gun. When he wakes up, his gun and holster are gone, and instead he looks at Sanderson's discarded stun gun. Thanks to John Day. Also note that when Maya leaves him, his hand is on his stomach. When Sanderson aims at the still unconscious Koenig, the hand is by his side- but as he wakes in a few moments, this is understandable.
	When Tony tells Koenig that he has lost contact with Maya, Koenig says "Tony, keep trying!". We clearly see his mouth is open but his lips aren't moving. Thanks to Thomas.
		Maya, as a child, opens the door. She then leaves the module. We then cut to Maya (as herself) and Koenig running back in. As time was short, why did Maya leave the command module and come back in? Why not transform back to herself immediately? Thanks to Thomas.
		Some of the medics from early in the episode are reassigned to other sections by the end. The blonde nurse joins Technical. The man with the moustache joins the service section and gets a red jacket. Strangely, he is seen leaving Medical with Helena to attend to Eva's false emergency, and is shortly afterwards watching Alan on the communications screen, already in his new uniform and jacket (the shoulder in the foreground right is probably the nurse). Another nurse is L. Picard (Jenny Cresswell); in most other episodes she is a Command Center operative, although she was a nurse in The Exiles. Thanks to Thomas.
