Life could be this beautiful without NBC-TV in it.

I'm sure Ronald D. Moore would sum it up as his desire for achieving gritty believability. Moore's "stock footage excuse" for everything when YET ANOTHER FLAW in his production is discovered. Ronald D. Moore's production called "Battlestar Galactica" has the most UNFINISHED and PROFESSIONALLY UNPOLISHED look to it in television history. His entire production looks like a LOW BUDGET DEMO REEL from an amateur film class trying to submit an idea to a television network. From wardrobe (THE LACK OF IT), to sets (THE LACK OF THEM), to professional actors (THE LACK OF THEM), to visual effects that look like they were knocked off by a high school kid on a MacIntosh computer, Ronald D. Moore's production looks so UNFINISHED, it wouldn't have passed muster as a Saturday morning kids show in the 1970's.
The PROBLEMS in Ronald D. Moore's production DON'T STOP THERE. There is also a SEVERE MAKEUP and GAFFER LIGHTING PROBLEM in Ronald D. Moore's production. No one in this production is wearing makeup. I'm not talking about the makeup that fashion models wear in television for beauty purposes.. I'm talking about the BARE MINIMUM MAKEUP REQUIRMENTS NECESSARY to not make the cast members complexions look WASHED OUT under the hot gaffer lighting.
I've heard of low budget productions but THIS IS RIDICULOUS!!! Was Moore's production SO LOW BUDGET that they couldn't afford to hire an adequate gaffing crew in order to do lighting tests with the cast members in order to see how much makeup they would need or wouldn't need under the hot lights in order to properly tone the complexions of the cast members? I'm sure Ronald D. Moore and David Eick just said "F**k it, lets just start shooting!!" After all, as has been proven time and time again, Ronald D. Moore and David Eick are the most UNPROFESSIONAL PRODUCERS IN TELEVISION HISTORY. Does this production have a makeup crew at all? A gaffing crew at all? Oh, I get it!! In order to save money, there is just a MASTER LIGHT SWITCH on the Vancouver soundstages that Ronald D. Moore flicks on and off. "On" at the start of the day, "Off" at the end of the day. The same sort of every day light switch found in everyone's house and apartment. Who cares if certain scenes need certain lighting requirements, right Ronny boy? Who cares if certain cast members need more makeup and lighting needs than others?-(Edward James Olmos and Mary McDonnell), right Ronny boy? You got your LOW BUDGET, you got your project approved, you got your cameras. JUST START SHOOTING, right RONNY BOY?
