Perhaps the greatest gift for fans of the original series has just gone live over at GALACTICA.TV (if you’ve never checked it out, it’s easily the best BSG site on the web – especially for original series fans). Curators Marcel Damen & Mike Egnor have put together a huge post of never before seen interviews, images and info about the making of the show and they deserve three cheers for their tireless effort in continuing to unearth great material. If seeing that above image of the tiny landing bay matte painting gives you a stiffy, you better have a change of shorts on hand before you click over!
Mojo, the Galactica.TV site is AMAZING! The amount of info collected about the show blew my mind. In depth interviews, collections of preliminary design and production sketches, scans of actual work contracts; it’s a meticulous history of the show from development to production. I spent more then two hours on the site last night and barely scratched the surface. I could easily spend an entie day going through all the stuff there. Bizarre that I’ve never come across it before despite many searches on all aspects of the various BSG shows. Thanks for posting the link because that site is a real gem!
Thanks for posting this, I spent quite a bit of my Sunday afternoon reading through those articles and admiring all the behind the scenes images.
