Those were cool little ships. Although we really never got to see much of the interior (except maybe on the episode where Carter was kidnapped by the Trust). I guess they just didn't want to spend money building many Al'kesh sets.
Yeah I wanted to see more of the that ship to, it is a pretty cool design and much larger than the cargo vessel. You're probably right building worst sets would have been more expensive. Remember that one where they trick sg1 into thinking they went in the future? And on the back of the SGC sets were the Gould mothership sets. It was a pretty impressive way to use a practical background that wasn't meant to be shown in the same scene and write a story around it.
@@StargateOmega Yep. I remember that episode. I think it was the one where they killed Hathor. I'm imagine they rearranged pieces of the same sets all time into different parts of a mothership or other Goa'uld structure. Startrek was particularly obvious about recycling set elements across the movies & TV series. After seeing every episode of every series umpteen times, I've noticed items like light fixtures, warp cores, bridge sets, walls, and various other things getting reused on different worlds or ships. In fact they reused the same unaltered pictures as the city background on different planets. They reused the fuck out the that clip of a Klingon bird-of-prey firing its torpedo. Of course they also extensively recycled the same actors. Vaughn Armstrong & Jeffrey Combs both played something like a dozen different alien roles.
Dude the worst recycled part of all of Star Trek, was when they showed the bird of prey exploding in Star Trek 6, and reuse the same footage for Star Trek generations, and I've seen interviews before were people called him on it and they said no no we blew up a different one. And it had the same ring fly off in the same direction twice LOL.
Yes. That is a vulnerable position for the bridge. In fact didn't Teal'c kill the Goa'uld Tanneth simply by shooting a staff weapon through the windshield of his Al'kesh ? I always thought the bridge of Startrek federation ships was precariously placed (right at the top) as well. If I were in a space battle, I would immediately target thier bridge. It would make far more sense to have the command center several decks deeper inside.
You know I really like the Battle Bridge on the enterprise-d, I always thought that would have been a better location for the actual Bridge buried deep in the neck, they showed you in Star Trek nemesis that at the top of the ship is not a good place for the bridge
@@StargateOmega Yep. Exactly my point. Even after what happened on Nemesis, they still continued to run the ship from there. I'd be somewhat concerned about that force field failing (even on a ship that wasn't just beat to shit). Then on Generations after the saucer section crashed & the window on the ceiling of the bridge shattered, I thought about how that brittle piece of glass had been the only thing between the command crew & a Romulan torpedo for 7 years (although the windows where supposed to be transparent metal alloy).
I never knew the windows were transparent alloy awesome! I'm doing a voyager run right now I'm in about the seven season, and I keep noticing they have to transport people or things out from some place or another ship but the shift some kind of alloy or it's heavily shielded or whatever, why don't you do the same to the bridge and bury it in the ship, also if the bridge was in the middle of the ship you would have a faster access to engineering or the medical Bay
@@StargateOmega Yes. I believe it was the TNG episode "In theory" (when the enterprise was experiencing sudden decompressions) that Data referred to the window in the observation lounge as the aluminum transparency (or something really similar). Then in the Startrek 4 movie, Scotty gave the 20th century guy the formula for "transparent aluminum" (so they could construct a tank for those whales).
They state the length as 35 meters, but in a lot of these shots you can tell it's much, much larger.
