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

Ronald D. Moore and David Eick must be really excited now!! They are gearing up for the FIVE additional episodes of "Star Crap: Galactica's" FIRST season. I don't know what to make of a show that is a strange hybrid of "Star Trek", "West Wing", "Xena-Warrior Princess", FOX NEWS Channel; and anything else that Ronald D. Moore and David Eick are in the mood to RIP-OFF at a moments notice. Additionally, this show contains the patented and ever present "STAR TREKKIAN DULLNESS" that Ronald D. Moore manages to carry with him everywhere he goes along with his suitcase filled with women's lingerie and 8 x 10 glossies of FANNIE FLAGG.
What is "STAR TREKKIAN DULLNESS?" It is that dreaded style of scriptwriting that has polluted television screens since 1987 with the arrival of "Star Trek: The Next Generation", which Ronald D. Moore refuses to abandon and continues to poop out of his brain. "STAR TREKKIAN DULLNESS" is also an excuse for untalented scriptwriters/producers to get jobs in television, and cover up their lack of imaginations by claiming that they are doing "reality drama" for the sake of "educating" television audiences. If Ronald D. Moore had one shred of originality or imagination, he wouldn't have gone the reality route in his tv series. Always the easy way out for untalented HACKS in television.
Lets analyze this "STAR TREKKIAN DULLNESS" a bit more closely, shall we?
1) You know you are in for a long bout of "STAR TREKKIAN DULLNESS" when the group photo of "Star Crap: Galactica" contains the following:
a) Edward James Olmos being his usual, boring self. Though I commend EJO for speaking out against this production earlier, it doesn't change the fact that he is a BORING personality in front of the camera, and contains all of the personal magnetism of a 4 x 8 sheet of plywood propped up against the wall. Just looking at the group photo, you can tell that the FIVE additional episodes of "Star Crap: Galactica" will contain more of EJO's MUMBLING.
b) Tricia Helfer has a new red pant suit, but her boobs haven't been troweled off yet (for the FIVE new episodes) with a fresh layer of MORTAR MIX.
c) Aaron Douglass, looking more and more like a mutated hybrid of Jerry Mathers and Donny Osmond these days, continues to wear Bonnie Hammer's cover-alls from "Wal-Mart", and asks questions later!! What the hell, it's a paycheck for him, right?
d) Jamie Bamber, looking like he's been pumping a bit of iron these days, can always look forward to a guest appearance on "Bonnie Hammer's WWF" if "Star Crap: Galactica" bites the big one.
e) I think I've discovered the secret to Katee Sackhoff. She was a guy all long.
f) Mary McDonnell looks like she would give anything for a regular role on "Desperate Housewives" or "Lost" instead of Ronald D. Moore's CRAP. The expression on her face seems to convey the following: "I'm embarrassed as hell to be on this show. Why didn't I win the audition for "Boston Public?"
"STAR TREKKIAN DULLNESS" can also be found in every other aspect of Ronald D. Moore's production. The wardrobe from WAL-MART, the non-existent originality in production design, the lack of a melodic musical score, the spacecraft designs that either look like reproductive organs, or other spaceships we have seen DOZENS of times before. Do we need to mention the style of scriptwriting on this show? Which conveys BOREDOM, DERIVATIVENESS, and WORN OUT CLICHES. I've got news for Ronald D. Moore. The news media does a hell of a better job informing the public about post 9-11 atrocities than "Star Crap: Galactica!!" Why dramatize what has already been reported in our media? BORING!!!
Well, Ronny boy!! I guess the next time we see you will probably be NEVER, since you WON'T tell anyone that your show was CANCELLED!!
