On the DEWLine 2.0: Dwight Williams

If you live out that way, please check in, okay?

From 2008.

I'm sure I'm not the first fan of "Second Galactica" to take a picture and make the Joke.

Sometimes, it throws me off: seeing landmarks I know to be associated with either Vancouver - or have I actually seen anything from Vancouver yet? Yes, I have! - or Chicago in Batwoman's version of Gotham.

There does seem to be some interest in borrowing design thought from the Nolan movies here - just look at their version of Wayne Tower as impersonated by the Chicago Board of Trade building...and yet, I expect Gotham to be its own place.

Seems like these are items of ongoing interest.

I don't know if anyone reading this LJ these days lives in Vancouver, but it would be good if some of you do, as such readers will be able to give an informed answer on this one. Read this link first:

If that linkage is truth, then there's a concern I have. Can they find enough exterior locations of the right age range of sufficient diversity of purpose - housing, commercial sites, and so on - to make that work? I know that CGI set extension wonders can be worked with an astonishing degree of regularity nowadays, but the cost is still an ongoing concern for any production. And if the series in question is Agent Carter, then this is going to be a "period piece" series, set in the late 1940's...

I should know what school of architecture influenced this design...

About to hop on the MV Queen of Cowichan to head back to Nanaimo. I met three people whose work and company I enjoy, whom I'd like to say "hello" to again when next I pass this way. More to follow later...

Has anyone checking in here regularly anything to say on V-Con?

I'm considering a trip to Vancouver later this year, and I'd be interested to know if it's a good idea to time it to coincide with that event.
