Brent Maddock and I wrote that episode, but I have to be honest and say I don’t remember discussing what coordinates. The shows were written under intense time pressure and I can only say what MIGHT have happened. We might have asked someone on our staff to give us coordinates for central Nevada and then just wrote them in. As to part 2 of the question, no, we didn’t model our location on a specific area, as we knew there probably wasn’t any place that actually fit all our needed parameters (Burt: ” We got the cliffs to the north! Mountains to the East and West!”
In Ghost Dance, Burt lists a set of coordinates where he believes the lab is. Out of curiosity I looked them up and found they were smack dab in the middle of real life Moapa Valley, Nevada! It seems to match all the in-series descriptions of the valley. Was Perfection modeled after Moapa from the beginning? was last modified: November 21st, 2020 by
