John Cullen: If an alien planet doesn't look like a Canadian forest, then I am not interested.

This is so, so bad, but in all the right ways. I love that because it's a Canadian/French/UK co-production, the accents are all over the place.

I'm in bed sick, and have discovered the existence of an early aughts Canadian sci-fi show I'd never heard of called Starhunter. Am currently watching episodes out of order as god intended

Classic TV Theme: Starhunter (two versions • Full Stereo)youtu.be 'Starhunter' (2000) was a co-production between Canada, England, France, and Germany. Michael Paré was a bounty hunter who's also looking for his son. Meanwh...

According to Doctor Who Alien planets look like a Quarry in Wales

And then in Star Trek it's either a soundstage, a spare movie/TV set from another production, or that one big rock in California.

The Battlestar Galactica remake was kind of refreshing just because the planet scenes were all in the Vancouver woods, instead of the same five scrubby hills outside of L.A.

My first thought on first seeing the crappy planet the BG remake spent one season on was "Mackenzie River Delta".

I found out Next Gen used a set from Spaceballs and repeatedly used a gadget from Airplane II, which tickled me to no end.

Red Dwarf always used that old factory or oil refinery or whatever it was to be every single spaceship interior

This is untrue. A surprising number rof them are made of corridors.

What makes me laugh is that modern Star Wars is now doing the same thing; using UK quarries and UK housing estates for film locations like its 1970s Doctor Who…

It was a quarry in Cornwall usually. I used to get stuck next to it on my way to work a lot and every time thought 'huh, Dr Who'

Saw this post and thought you were talking about Stargate SG-1.

Me too!

How about LEXX

Asahmed to say I have yet to see that! I want to save it, due to how insane I've heard it is.

If you are familiar with The Trailer Park Boys, Mr Leahey is "the last human" It was filmed here in town and I went to the prop auction

Oh, nice! You manage to get anything?

No, I ended up getting stuff from a movie called The Concave and K9 Widowmaker Also this was filmed here. The boy art is the best part.
