Goofs:

Revealing mistakes: When she is first being awakened, the supposedly-unconscious Sarah can be seen shifting her legs. Later, when she is being put back into the stasis tube and, again, is supposedly unconscious, she is clearly shifting around to get herself settled comfortably inside the tube.

Quotes:

Lt. Boomer: Everyone we've encountered up till now, every colony or outpost, are, eh, drifters or pioneers who set out from our home planets. Terms, dress, technology, all familiar.
Sheba: So, what are you saying, Boomer?
Lt. Boomer: That if even a few of the humans we've run across were descendants from the lost 13th tribe, they were stragglers, left behind. Now, here on this ship for the first time, We've actually found human life forms from a technologically advanced civilisation. That's what the whole point of the voyage has been.
