'GALACTICA' AT 40: GOING, GOING...


Too late to make escape velocity after having been tricked by Apollo and Starbuck's Vipers, the Imperious Leader's Cylon Basestar is caught in the Tylium energy vapours of the planet and is soon part of Carillon's devastating explosion!


Listen carefully to the audio effects of the impending explosion of the Basestar- there's lots of old reused Universal Studios horror film sounds of electrodes and power channeling going back to Frankenstein. The varying explosions for the basestar were all shot separately and added together for this shot. The separate explosions would also be seen throughout the course of the weekly series, whenever a sequence involved massive destruction. The far left explosion was even desaturated and used as part of the series opening narration visual sequence.
