When I was a kid I was watching a lot of cartoons featuring giant mechas often formed by the assemblement of smaller machines. And one of the moments I was waiting most was the epic connection. When I grew up I realized it was just a way to use and reuse the same sequence to save money in animation. And I turned quite sad till I realized it was more than excusable. It was also a way to control the lenght of the episode by simpling cutting some seconds from the sequence if necessary.

Possible example:

The part on (the very early episode where Homer buys Lisa a pony) where Lisa calls Homer from work, reuses footage from (the even earlier episode where Bart's dog go to disciplinary school).

"Your mileage may vary, but there seems a shot taken by the actor or the producers of the A-Team at the use of stock footage in unrelated later projects when Dirk "Starbuck" Benedict, as Face-Man, startled and acted as if someone had walked over his grave when a Cylon Centurion walked by in one episode. "

Since that was used in the title sequence, does it really need to be spoilered? And I saw it more as a shout-out than a shot...
