[edit] filming

I believe that the filming in Tucson was done specifically at Old Tucson Studios but cannot swear to that 100%.

[edit] Bartok based on Tesla?

I sometimes wondered if the character Bartok was based on the real-life inventor Nikola Tesla. Both were from eastern Europe, and in at least one episode Bartok expressed dislike of Thomas Edison, as was probably the real-life case with Tesla on more than one occasion.

I no longer have the e-mails and source material to prove it, but I'm pretty confident that co-creator Bill Dial has specifically acknowledged that he and co-creator Michael Piller patterned Bartok on Tesla. In addition to the points you cite, Tesla did a lot of work with alternating current electricity that resembles some of the devices in Bartok's workshop.

Also, like Bartok's, Tesla's now famous laboratory was in Colorado (in Colorado Springs) where he conducted various "magical" experiments... Above photograph was, in fact, taken in that very lab. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.216.152.65 (talk) 17:44, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
