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

Ronald D. Moore has hidden behind a great many people. Richard Hatch, his on-line publicity machine (personal ass-wiping service), his publicity machine in print (personal ass-wiping service), and specifically TV Guide (personal ass-wiping service.) I think it speaks volumes that all of these artificial outlets of praise are really covering up the fact that Ronald D. Moore's series is a sub-standard piece of crap. Not even worthy to grace Stallion_Cornell's toilet bowl.
What has been the most disturbing development in the ethical mutation of Ronald D. Moore's series, is that Richard Hatch and Moore's series now need each other to survive professionally. Moore's series cannot survive without unrealistic praise being showered on it. Richard Hatch can't survive professionally unless he showers unrealistic praise on Moore's series. Hearing Richards comments in his latest round of B.S., it's hard to believe that this is the same Richard Hatch who criticized Moore's mini series shortly after it premiered, or defied the entire establishment to get his trailer made. Sadly, this is the same Richard Hatch who finally caved in to the political demands being thrust upon him by an ASS HOLE ESTABLISHMENT still angry with him for making his trailer and defying all of Hollywood. Richard's comments are so "not him", it's as though he is being fed dialogue to say just as surely as George W. Bush was WIRED during the presidential debates in order to have a fighting chance against Kerry.
Does Richard Hatch truly believe that "Battlestar Galactica" has returned in the guise of Ronald D. Moore's series? If he does, he is contradicting his earlier statements where he said that the 1978 "Galactica" series and Ronald D. Moore's series are two entirely different animals. Richard Hatch has gotten so close to "Battlestar Galactica", he just can't let go of it. Though he claims he has, his doing the dirty work of Universal Studios in promoting a series which has the "Galactica" brand name on it refutes his claims. What has happened to Richard Hatch is just sad. If he had truly let go of "Battlestar Galactica" as he claims, he would have taken his life in another direction instead of getting mixed up with Ronald D. Moore. Richard Hatch is reasonably intelligent, he could have chosen another career path for himself. He could have went into business for himself or went back to college. I find it hard to believe that the only option before him in his life was to get mixed up with Ronald D. Moore and say things about Moore's series that he really doesn't mean.
Richard Hatch has turned into the Howard Dean of "Galactica" fandom. He means well, but everytime he opens his mouth, the most absurd remarks come out that doesn't cast him in a very favorable light. Ronald D. Moore's series doesn't deserve a fraction of the praise that Richard Hatch has showered on it. Since Richard Hatch consented to have Ronald D. Moore be his boss, and since he also consented to play the role of has been actor that Hollywood can crap all over; Richard Hatch locked himself into a prison cell where he will be saying things about Ronald D. Moore's series that he really doesn't mean.
What was preventing Richard Hatch from truly getting on with his life? What was preventing him from sticking with his earlier criticisms about Ronald D. Moore, and leaving Hollywood behind entirely? Richard's remarks about Moore's series truly signifying that "Battlestar Galactica" has successfully returned are so ridiculous, that his remarks come across as yet another aborted attempt by the Universal Studios publicity machine to successfully sell Moore's series to the public. Universal/Sci-Fi Channel never gives up in trying to sell Moore's series to the public. They SUCK at it, and their attempts get more and more desperate after each FAILURE, but they never give up. Somehow, they recruited Richard Hatch to do some of their dirty work for them. In the process, they sucked all of Richards individuality, the right to independent thought, and the right to criticize openly, right out of his soul. I guess a steady paycheck has a funny way of doing that to people.
After one mini series and 13 segments, Ronald D. Moore is long past due in standing up on his own two feet. The reason why Moore's series can't stand up on its own two feet is that it just can't. It isn't a strong enough animal to stand up on its own. It needs a BRAINWASHED Richard Hatch singing its unrealistic praises to stay alive. I don't know how much longer Ronald D. Moore intends to hide behind a BRAINWASHED Richard Hatch. I suppose just long enough until the cancellation order comes down.
