I've got a question about the episode, "The Ark."
The sets of the moonbase in this episode were *really* elaborate. Just the level of detail on the doors alone must have blown the budget. I mean, sprawling and expensive-looking, and completely unlike anything else we've seen on the show, either before or since. Quite frankly, these sets are higher quality than the Daedalus sets.
I know MGM has shown wonky business sense in the past, but there's just no way they would have blown this kind of money on sets for a B-list episode like this one.
The only thing I can think of is that they must have been sets built for some movie or another, then, once production on the film wrapped, the SGA team must have filmed on them right before they were struck (And probably destroyed).
That's my hunch. Anyone know if I'm right or not? Also, assuming I'm right, does anyone know what movie was called?
Sincerely,
