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

All of the Universal Studios executives on the www.Scifi.com/Galactica board pretending to be Ron Moore fans have accomplished what they set out to accomplish. They have allowed Ronald D. Moore to dig himself a little foxhole within the Universal/Sci-Fi Channel corporation where he will nibble on cheese and hide for the rest of his meaningless and temporary career. Universal/Sci-Fi Channel loves this guy, in no small part due to the fact that the Universal/Sci-Fi Channel corporation is not a stranger to crappy television.
Close to 20 hours of Ronald D. Moore's drawn out and uninspired "Star Shit: Galactica" have aired on Sci-Fi Channel. Out of those 20 hours, the only memorable moments have been the sort of memorable moments that shock and disgust a television audience into changing the channel permanently. Baby killings, endless sexual intercourse, and multiple counts of copyright infringement have characterized Ronald D. Moore's first ATTEMPT at solo producing. With any luck, this will also be Ronald D. Moore's last attempt at solo producing as well. Much the same way George Lucas can't write a script or direct actors worth a shit, Ronald D. Moore also finds it impossible to produce and write a quality hour of prime time television. The most that can be pulled from Ronald D. Moore's cranium; is endless gimmicks, stunts and high wire acts that showcases his pedophiliac preoccupations with sexual perversions, and felonies against infants.
Hiding within the football huddle of the "Star Trek Staff Writers Sorority", Ronald D. Moore is just fine as a fairly mundane "Star Trek" staff writer who can crank out cliche saturated scripts. Just the sort of product one comes to expect from someone whose imagination never ventures beyond "Phaser Banks", "Temporal Anomalies", and "Photon Torpedoes." If you remove Ronald D. Moore from this sorority, shine a spotlight on him, and expect him to crank out a professionally produced hour of prime time television; the trouble starts.
Ronald D. Moore never should have been allowed to take the reins as solo producer on this mess. The problem being, his lack of experience has not only soiled the "Battlestar Galactica" brand name, but has also guaranteed that Ronald D. Moore will NEVER BE one of the most sought after producers in television. It is not surprising that the poor judgement call in making Ronald D. Moore the producer of "Star Shit: Galactica" came from the Universal/Sci-Fi Channel corporation. This is the same corporation that made Bonnie Hammer (the former World Wrestling Federation exec), the babe in charge of the Sci-Fi Channel. (  ) The implication here being, if Universal/Sci-Fi Channel makes one bad decision, the bad decisions will continue.
It is not surprising that Universal/Sci-Fi Channel wanted their own "Star Trek" sequel series. It is one of the most durable franchises in entertainment history. What is surprising, is Universal/Sci-Fi Channel's BLATANT LIFTING of the property from Paramount Pictures, and calling it "Battlestar Galactica." I'm assuming that Universal/Sci-Fi Channel's legal department warped and twisted the English language to such an extent, that Ronald D. Moore got off scott free. Much the same way the Universal/Sci-Fi Channel corporation conducts themselves in general, no imagination went into the crafting of Ronald D. Moore's "Star Shit: Galactica." A high school stage play was thrown together in 15 minutes, with cast and crew emulating down to the letter, a dark version of Gene Roddenberry's universe characterized by baby killings, and sexually perverted antagonists and protagonists. One of the final episodes of "Star Trek: Enterprise" was so in line with the dark version of Gene Roddenberry's universe that Ronald D. Moore has been doing all along, I kept expecting "Six" and "Baltar" to arrive in this episode to assist the evil Captain Archer.
Former "Star Trek" staff writers don't create, and they don't imagine. They simply borrow and recycle ideas from one another. From a historical standpoint, Ronald D. Moore will go down in television history as the least imaginative and most ruthlessly mean spirited writer to ever curse the television airwaves. There has been alot of "Star Trek" history for Ronald D. Moore to STEAL FROM while crafting his "Star Shit: Galactica" series. This has been his undoing. It has made him careless and stupid. Ronald D. Moore has been lounging over four decades worth of "Star Trek" cliches to recycle into his pathetic production, and he has made the most of it. Old "Star Trek" plots that Ronald D. Moore assumes the public has long forgotten, magically show up in his series marginally rewritten to accomodate his "Star Trek-esque" characters. What once was a plot showcasing Commander Ryker from "Star Trek: The Next Generation", is now a plot showcasing his female "Starbuck." What once was an angst ridden Captain Picard, is now an angst ridden Commander Adama. Ronald D. Moore even steals ideas from himself, as some of the old plots he steals from "Star Trek: The Next Generation", were written by him.
With "Carnivale" now cancelled, Ronald D. Moore has every reason to remain in that foxhole Universal/Sci-Fi Channel executives have dug for him. After all, who else in Hollywood would be STUPID ENOUGH to hire him?
