Alan J Levi Talks Galactica (Director) by Susan J. Paxton |
Best known to Battlestar Galactica fans as the director of Gun on Ice Planet Zero, his actual BG directing credits must include about half or slightly more of the premiere. Filming on the three-hour premiere, at the time the most expensive three hours in television history, was around half completed under the leadership of director Richard Colla when BG executive producer Glen Larson called the unsuspecting Levi to his office. Levi recalls Larson “said to me he wasn’t happy with the way the movie was going and would I take it over.

The Colonial Viper : Overview |
The Colonial Viper underwent numerous changes from its original concept to its final design. Ralph McQuarrie's original concept was so different from the final Viper that it was reused as the "Thunder Fighter", the Earth Directorate Starfighter used in Glen Larson's other space series, Buck Rogers. The basic Viper design was represented both in Ralph McQuarrie artwork and concurrent paintings by Frank Frazetta.
