The Universal/Sci-Fi Channel corporation is a GIGANTIC, CORRUPT, and DISHONEST MARKETING MACHINE that has spiraled way out of control in the past couple of years. Their DELIBERATE MISMANAGEMENT of the "Battlestar Galactica" property is legendary. Despite what the Universal/Sci-Fi Channel corporation tells you, THEY HAVE NOT REVIVED "BATTLESTAR GALACTICA." The production that finally emerged from Ronald D. Moore's "Star Trek Cob Webbed Brain" is a production CUSTOM TAILORED to fit Universal Studios POLITICAL AGENDAS, ULTERIOR MOTIVES, and Universal's desire to increase their DELIBERATE MISMANAGEMENT of "Battlestar Galactica" to new heights.
Either through the efforts of Richard Hatch, the STRONG VOCAL PRESENCE of the "Galactica" fanbase, or both....the Universal/Sci-Fi Channel corporation was finally backed into a corner of having to do SOMETHING with the "Battlestar Galactica" brand name. Unfortunately, when Universal was backed into this corner, their CORPORATE HATRED for the "Battlestar Galactica" brand name DID NOT DIMINISH. So, Universal/Sci-Fi Channel found themselves in a real dilemma. On the one hand, they were being forced to revive "Battlestar Galactica" (something they didn't want to do). On the other hand, selling the property to Richard Hatch was also an unsatisfactory alternative for them, because their CORPORATE GREED prevented them from selling the property. So, Universal/Sci-Fi Channel had to answer this question for themselves:
"How can we revive "Battlestar Galactica" without really reviving it, so on the one hand; we can continue making money off of the brand name; while on the other hand, doing it in a manner where the "REAL 1978 GALACTICA SERIES" remains DEAD?"
The answer, AS WE ALL KNOW; involved the hiring of Ronald D. Moore to "JURY RIG" a THINLY DISGUISED "STAR TREK" production (and Moore's entire production has the physical appearance of being "Jury-Rigged"), and SLAP the "Galactica" logo on it. Make no mistake, Ronald D. Moore's production BLATANTLY ADVERTISES to the entire world, Universal Studios CORPORATE ENVY of Paramount Pictures "Star Trek" property.
So many POLITICAL AGENDAS of Universal Studios were SATISFIED with this production, that the list could go on forever. To name just a few however, this is what Ronald D. Moore's production ACCOMPLISHED for Universal/Sci-Fi Channel:
1) The "REAL 1978 GALACTICA SERIES" remains DEAD.
2) The "Battlestar Galactica" brand name brings in a FEW CENTS for the Universal/Sci-Fi Channel corporation.
3) Universal/Sci-Fi Channel (JUST AS THEY HAVE ALWAYS WANTED)....now have their very own "STAR TREK" production.
4) George Lucas stays off of their backs. (I guess having Paramount Pictures on their backs instead of George Lucas was considered a much more pleasant alternative by Universal/Sci-Fi Channel's lawyers.)
Once Ronald D. Moore's production existed, the next step for Universal/Sci-Fi Channel was to try and MARKET IT to the public. This FAILED. So, Universal/Sci-Fi Channel then did the next logical step (FOR THEM). They MANUFACTURED A FALSE FANBASE OVER THE INTERNET for Ronald D. Moore's production, consisting of:
1) Universal Studios executives 2) Universal marketers 3) Colleagues and friends of Ronald D. Moore's.
When Universal/Sci-Fi Channel did this, the whole concept of marketing took on a WHOLE NEW DIMENSION as Universal/Sci-Fi Channel WARPED & TWISTED the cordial and civilized notions of marketing into:
1) Blatant and aggressive VERBAL ATTACKS on the general public.
2) Blatant and aggressive VERBAL ATTACKS on the "REAL 1978 GALACTICA" series.
3) Blatant and aggressive VERBAL ATTACKS on the fanbase of the "REAL 1978 GALACTICA SERIES."
4) FRAUDULENT PRESS RELEASES artificially inflating the ratings performance of Ronald D. Moore's series.
5) FALSE BULLETIN BOARDS SET UP (www.Ragnaranchorage.tk and www.Galactica2003.net) to house Universal executives and marketers POSING AS fans of Ronald D. Moore and his CRAPPY ASS production.
6) www.Scifi.com's own bulletin boards practicing MASS CENSORSHIP of the general public who dislikes their television productions. Members getting BANNED, POSTS DELETED, clone handles set up (by Universal executives) to praise Ronald D. Moore's production.
After the CORRUPT ANTICS of the Universal/Sci-Fi Channel corporation, Bonnie Hammer, Aaron Douglas, and Ronald D. Moore; marketing will NEVER BE LOOKED UPON as an HONEST ENDEAVOR ever again.
