BSG Wrap

[Nostromo]

Principal photography of the finale episode wrapped in Vancouver yesterday. Just some second unit stuff left to do. :(
The good news is they served Cylon snacks at the wrap party! Witness the Eye of Jupiter nachos. :) N

Okay, that is hilarious.

I've got relatives in Kelowna, and I know that they sometimes shoot there. Any idea what they shoot there? I'm assuming it's the outdoor "planet side" stuff.

I know the BC interior a bit, having lived in Calgary for 10 years. Season 1 and 2 forest locations including the lake / ruins / raptor crash site and the Cylon ambush site, appear to have been shot in the Okanagan Valley so that would include Kelowna and Penticton. Interestingly, there's a web posting of an ad in the Kelowna Capital News, dated June 18th,2008inviting people to show up at locations in Aberdeen and Kamloops to appear as extras in a "BSG flick." Wonder if flick is generic usage and means a TV ep or, if it has to do with the one confirmed BSG movie that is supposed to be set during the Season One era.

This is cool alaristhered.
Check out this link - it's clean. It's a GOOGLE Earth shot with icons that take you to Vancouver locations BSG has used.

Maybe it's for "Caprica"?

[alaristhered]

Makes sense, really. Caprica is going to need a lot of (we presume) outdoor shots than BSG.

[Nostromo]

You could be right about that Bark.

Check out this B.C. fan site. :popcorn: N

Some of the wrap video (spoiler alert) can be found here (http://io9.com/5032614/a-glimpse-inside-the-filming-of-battlestars-final-episodes)

There's also some spoilerific slides.

Biggest spoiler for me:
Cally was back, but in what capacity, it is not known

[alaristhered]

I'm betting flashback. If it's not flashback, I think I'll be annoyed. Or perhaps not. If it's NOT a flashback, it would indeed explain one or two things.

[Jakester]

Agreed, Al. It certainly would, but damn. The SMACK that would get laid down on Tori would be monumental.

[alaristhered]

True, Jakester - Tori is in serious need of a kick in the teeth, and that would do it. And it might explain why the Cylons are not making a big deal about Nicky. Still, it would annoy me!

[neglet]

Maybe Chief really isn't the father of Nicky. And in a flashback, we'll see her doing it--with the 5th Cylon!

[Nostromo]

Wonder if she brains him with a wrench too? Cylon foreplay. :wink: N

[alaristhered]

Something's gotta explain why the Cylons are crazy about Hera but haven't even brought up Nicky. Mind you, they haven't had much time to assimilate the information that the Chief is one of the final five, so maybe that's their excuse.

[Jakester]

Yeah. I'm thinking that they just don't know about Nicky. I mean, Tori does, and the other 3, but they've been too concerned with figuring out who they themselves are to really woory about the ramifications of Nicky. Further, they know about Hera, so that also could make them care less about him being "a halfbreed."
