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

According to TwoBrained Cylon (this guy is a bottomless pit of behind the scenes information), Ronald D. Moore is now having his scripts HACKED APART by GHOST WRITERS assigned by NBC-Universal. Ronald D. Moore is also apparently, VERY UNHAPPY with this latest development. What happened? What happened to the TWO YEAR HONEYMOON going on between Universal and Ronald D. Moore? Is there TROUBLE IN THE BEDROOM BETWEEN THESE TWO? I think it's safe to say that the era of Ronald D. Moore THREATENING UNIVERSAL IN ORDER TO GET HIS WAY is now OFFICIALLY OVER WITH.
To be fair, the GHOST WRITING going on in Ronald D. Moore's series HAS NOT IMPROVED the quality of that show. It is still a LOW BUDGET, ILL-CONCEIVED MESS shot on the Backlots and back alleys of Vancouver. The characters are still ASSHOLES, the scripts are still BORING and "Star Trek" DERIVATIVE, the production designers and art directors STILL HAVE NO IMAGINATION WHATSOEVER, the wardrobe is STILL from "Sears" and "Wal-Mart", and Katee Sackhoff STILL gets on the nerves of Dirk Benedict fans everywhere. If any PLEASURE can be derived from the fact that Ronald D. Moore is now being GHOST WRITTEN, it is the fact that his EGO has taken a MAJOR MORTAL WOUND. Back in the days of his CRAPPY ASS MINI SERIES, when Sci-Fi Channel put him on top of the world within their DYSFUNCTIONAL LITTLE SHIT HOLE known as "Universal Studios Politics", Ronald D. Moore thought he was INVINCIBLE. This long overdue sword thrust into his EGO, and the resulting HELIUM escaping, should do much to HUMBLE Ronald D. Moore back down to where he belongs mentally, as a HAS BEEN "Star Trek" staff writer who has no power to kill the "REAL 1978 GALACTICA SERIES" or any other FANTASIES he may have been entertaining over the past two years.
I think "Adult Supervision" is the key here. Can it be that someone within NBC-Universal finally realized that Ronald D. Moore is a NEOPHYTE when it comes to producing and writing, and in order to CURB any further DAMAGE Ronald D. Moore could inflict over the airwaves, BABYSITTING would be required? Moore needed to be BABYSAT the moment he pitched his "9-11 SEX SHOW" to NBC-Universal. Of course, the Universal brass being what they are; failed to recognize the fact that Ronald D. Moore in actuality HAD NO SHOW to pitch them. All he had were some embryonic ideas as to how he thought "Deep Space Nine" should have been, personal vendettas against the Bush Administration, ZERO IMAGINATION as to what he wanted his tv show to look like,...and guess what? NBC-Universal FELL FOR IT HOOK, LINE, & SINKER!! They fell for a tv show that had NO COHERENT or FINALIZED premise, a tv show that ultimately turned out to be a CHAMELEONIC HODGEPODGE of every CLICHED FORMAT that had come before, and SLAPPING the "Battlestar Galactica" logo onto it.
THE ONLY THING WE NEED NOW IS ADULT SUPERVISION FOR NBC-UNIVERSAL EXECUTIVES!!
