I can see the attraction of doing that, all right. And you're right about the limitations of sets. There really wasn't all that much of the Enterprise there in Las Vegas, but they used the bits effectively to create the illusion. I'm pretty sure that they reused this one corridor by first having us walk one way, and later through a different door back the other way. And at one point I remember we actually exited the "Enterprise" briefly to walk through a back room littered with sawhorses and boxes. You're absolutely right about the problems of reusing Hollywood sets to construct "reality".

But interesting thing about BSG, now that you mention it, is that it's a product of Vancouver, Hollywood of the North, where their thing is the biggest sound stages in the world, where they can build these huge lavish sets. For the miniseries "Ascension", about the covert 1960s interstellar flight, they constructed the five-story starship interior for real; camera shots up the axis aren't CGI.

I remember some of those little documentaries about BSG showing the sound stages, and while there was a huge amount of greenscreen, there was considerable physical construction too. The hanger deck existed partially in the real world, with CGI used just to matte in the long vistas. Which makes me think that the old BSG sets might work better than old Star Trek sets in a theme park setting.

And ooh ooh who can forget the ship in Stargate:Universe? Mothballed after a season, but I've seen bits of it reused in other shows since, like "Dark Matter". That seemed like a big elaborate physical set that might make a great amusement park attraction. Or a bed-and-breakfast, come to think of it.

Ya really got me thinking, Steve.
