    Original Series ship model recycling

    For the die hard original series fans-

    The agricultural ship(s) model and sets were recycled from a 1972 scifi move that flopped (see below). (These ships appeared in several BG episodes - including War of the Gods pt I and II - they had 4 or 5 glass domes on the front with forests/gardens)

    If you're interested, check out the 1972 film titled "Silent Running" starring Bruce Dern.

    The odd point is that this means the ship model and sets were sitting around Universal for 7-8 years probably unused until appearing in BG.

    The film is worth a watch. The story is pretty good, the acting very good, and the moral of the tale a viable one.

    For those who like to see the development of scifi ideas, the three driods in the film were clearly precursors of R2D2.
