How long has Ronald D. Moore been in this business? Close to 20 years? After all of that time, he is still not further along professionally than he is right now? What has Ronald D. Moore accomplished professionally in close to 20 years? Not a damn thing. He was a "Star Trek" staff writer. Big deal. He killed Captain Kirk in a movie that TANKED at the box office. Big deal. His "Carnivale" SHIT for HBO was CANCELLED faster than you can say "Ron Moore Sucks." For the past two years, Ronald D. Moore has been fucking around with Sci-Fi Channel making the same sort of FORGETTABLE TELEVISION he was making as a "Star Trek" staff writer. Why isn't this guy progressing and advancing within the business? What sort of PERSONAL CHARACTERISTICS does Ronald D. Moore have, which are PREVENTING HIM from being more than he currently is in Hollywood?
Ronald D. Moore is an ECCENTRIC ANOMALY in Hollywood. Though he has an "above the line" designation in the industry (producer), he did nothing to EARN that title. He has to rely on COLLEAGUES & PEERS within the undustry to retain that title. He has to rely on PROPAGANDA posted on the Internet by an ARMY of Universal/Sci-Fi Channel executives to retain that title. In actuality, though; Ronald D. Moore is STILL "below the line" in Hollywood. Meaning, that he LACKS the talent and experience to be "above the line" through his own efforts. In essence, Ronald D. Moore is ARTIFICIALLY "above the line" in Hollywood via PROPAGANDA, ON-LINE MARKETERS, and Sci-Fi Channel's publicity machine THAT WON'T QUIT. Moore needs the assistance of external entities to give the appearance of being "above the line" in Hollywood, whereas Steven Spielberg and James Cameron are GENUINELY "above the line" in Hollywood because they got there through REPEATED DEMONSTRATIONS of UNDENIABLE TALENT in producing, writing, and directing.
In all honesty, Ronald D. Moore has shown no more talent at what he is doing than a gaffer, or best buy would do taking an amateur stab at his job. Ronald D. Moore's greatest weakness, is his unwillingness and inability to pull off creative risks and be successful at it. Ronald D. Moore never ventures beyond "formulas", "cliches", "gimmicks"; never ventures beyond what he is comfortable with. Indeed, Ronald D. Moore did a project with "Battlestar Galactica" in the title, but what he actually delivered to the airwaves was a warmed over, CLICHE SATURATED "Star Trek" sequel series which announced to the world that Ronald D. Moore will NEVER venture beyond what he learned as a "Star Trek" staff writer. It's as though Ronald D. Moore had a notebook filled with "Star Trek" notes and cliches that he repeatedly consulted while producing and writing this project. As we all know from viewing the SAD RESULTS of Ronald D. Moore's first solo producing and writing assignment, you can't fit (or disguise) "Star Trek" CLICHES into a television series titled "Battlestar Galactica" no matter how hard you try.
Ronald D. Moore was NOT UP TO THE CHALLENGE of producing and writing a television series titled "Battlestar Galactica." The SCOPE of this series produced in 1978 was TOO MUCH for the "budget consciously trained" Ronald D. Moore to deal with. Ronald D. Moore has a way of working, and his way of working is UNACCEPTABLE for the INFINITE IMAGINATION that a series titled "Battlestar Galactica" DEMANDS. Ronald D. Moore thinks that every problem can be solved by applying a "Star Trek" CLICHE to it. Not surprising, since this is how Ronald D. Moore was trained (like a dog fetching a stick.)
A series titled "Battlestar Galactica" DEMANDS all of the original FORMATS, THEMES, and STORY ELEMENTS that Leslie Stevens and Glen A. Larson originally came up with. Unfortunately for Universal Studios, "Battlestar Galactica" IS WHAT IT IS. And what it is...is a series INSPIRED by "Star Wars", produced in an era where all of the ICONIC SPACESHIPS in this 1978 series are swooping and soaring around in a universe populated with the ARMOR CLAD "Cylon" robots, "Ovions", "12 Worlds", and set pieces the size of football fields. This series CANNOT be reimagined, or reinterpreted. It CANNOT be scaled down in the year 2004, and given a "Star Trek" FACE LIFT. Universal Studios ONLY OPTIONS should have been, to either NOT do this series again, or do it EXACTLY as it was done in 1978.
As it is now, we have a "below the line" / wannabe "above the line" HACK producer/writer doing a "Battlestar Galactica" series IN TITLE ONLY, gradually morphing this series into a "Star Trek" sequel production MORE & MORE as time continues to pass, and as Ronald D. Moore continues to settle into all of his former, LAZY habits. In actuality, Ronald D. Moore is a "below the line" TEAMSTER pretending to be a talented producer/writer in between lifting heavy lighting equipment.
