Oh crap.

I'd wondered whether that wasn't unscripted. But ... god, when will people learn not to loan things like that to production companies? I've heard so many stories like this... you'd think people would, you know, stop.

I tend to wonder if the motivation to loaning for a production company isn't so much "doing something nice" as being able to put "This model was used in an episode of Battlestar Galactica" in their promotional materials.

It was a very powerful scene. But what an awful thing to have happened. :(

Ron shriek-giggling about it on the podcast in sheer incredulity and horror just killed me. I can't believe Olmos did it! No, wait, I can. He's Method, hardcore, and it was a beautiful moment.

Imagine being the poor prop people watching, though.

Olmos was probably far less anguished-looking than they were. >:-)

In tears, I'm sure! Thank God it was insured.

[zarq]

Yep! It's a sure bet the artist wasn't thrilled, though. :/

He's lucky he did it in one take!

Just watched it - believe it or not, I think I was more taken by surprise by that scene than by the exploding Viper.
