BATTLESTAR GALACTICA (1978) "Super Sets"

From the Miami Herald's TV section for the week of August 6-12, 1978, here's a fairly in-depth interview with the original Battlestar Galactica's art director Jack Chilberg, discussing the forthcoming space epic's impressive sets and production design. Hell, even today, the Galactica's bridge is still one of the most impressive sets from any science fiction series, with its vast, multi-leveled size and functioning details.

  3. Thanks for the great article. I unabashedly love BSG. The new version never appealed to me. I like the 'sense of wonder' of the original.

  5. The original series bridge was far more impressive than watching a group of people stand around a table in a small room.
