This episode has four locations. 1. Delphi museum The West Mall building, Simon Fraser University Entrance is where Burnaby Mountain Parkway meets Gaglardi Way. Simon Fraser Campus Map Behind the ScenesBelow is a photo of the West Mall Centre, dressed as the Delphi Museum for 'Kobol's Last Gleaming II.' Photos are copyright Maurice Woodworth and are not to be re-used without his written consent. Our photo is included for reference. ![]() Travel Tip: Used in many episodes, Simon Fraser University doubles as nuked Caprica in Kobol's Last Gleaming II. The West Mall Centre (right across from parking, as pictured) was used to represent the facade of the Delphi Museum. The match of Helo and Sharon at the bottom of the gallery was taken at the Transportation Centre. Finding a map on campus can be difficult, so use an online map like the one at the beginning of this post to help you plot your route through campus (or bring it up on your phone while you're there). 2. Interior Delphi Museum ![]() This set was constructed in the old Woodwards building in downtown Vancouver. This building's roof is also where you see Six, Doral and Sharon standing in Litmus. It was torn down several years ago. 3. Kobol - Raptor crash site Widgeon Slough - Facility run by Metro Vancouver Behind the Scenes![]() This is a photo of Widgeon Slough, dressed as Kobol for 'Kobol's Last Gleaming, Part II.' Travel Tips: The road to this area is private and gated; there is no public access. As a side note, the popular Twilight series filmed here as well. 4. The Opera House The Orpheum Theatre, 850 block on the corner of Smithe and Seymour Streets, Vancouver Behind the Scenes![]() Another look at the stage at the Orpheum Theatre, dressed for 'Kobol's Last Gleaming, Part II.' ![]() Travel Tips: Appearing in numerous episodes, The Opera House is an amazing spot to visit. In July and August, The Orpheum Theatre provides public tours that cost about $10 per person. The tour is two hours long and you get to explore the Orpheum from basement to attic! An article about tours in 2011: Orpheum Tours. Our tour guide, Arthur, was such a nice guy. There was an orchestra rehearsing while we were there, so we had to wait quite a while before we could get on stage. At first, Arthur would only let us peek into the theatre, then after a few more minutes of exploring, he let us quietly step in and walk a few meters to stand and listen. Finally, he got comfortable enough with Anne and me that he let us sit in balcony seats and enjoy the music. It was amazing. The orchestra rehearsal was scheduled to end at 12:30 pm, but we got worried as they seemed to be in the middle of a very long piece as the time approached. In the end, they stopped mid-piece and packed up their stuff on the dot of 12:30 pm! It was AWESOME to be on stage. Nuked Caprica - somewhere outside the Delphi Museum Simon Fraser University. The entrance is where Burnaby Mountain Parkway meets Gaglardi Way. Simon Fraser Campus Map ![]() Photo courtesy of Guy Earle. Travel Tips: This area is the stairs just before you enter the academic quadrangle. I couldn't resist recreating this screencap as best as we could with just two people (and my limited leg-acting skills!). Finding a map on campus can be difficult, so use an online map like the one at the beginning of this post to help you plot your route through (or bring it up on your phone while you're there). We recommend parking in front of the West Mall Centre (aka the museum at Delphi!) as the best way to access all the sites at SFU (see photo, click to enlarge). |
