Touring the Battlestar Galactica Set

battlestar galactica viper IIThe Sci Fi Digital Press Tour report, part three - TV Squad

Entering the flight deck was pretty strange. You think you know what to expect, yet something looks a bit … off. There’s two Viper Mark II ships and a Viper Mark VII and a Raptor; there’s where they work on the ships; there are the tools, the parts. But things just seem a bit small. These sets serve multiple purposes, and via the magic of green screens they can look much larger than they appear in person. This doesn’t mean that you don’t recognize this place immediately, though. In fact, during the panel you could get somewhat distracted when realizing that "holy **** I’m in the Galactica flight deck!"

If you have a U.S. telephone number, you can sign up for an invitation at www.grandcentral.com. Current GrandCentral customers will continue to have uninterrupted access to the service.
