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

A few years down the pike makes all the difference in the world, doesn't it? It truly amazes me that the very same IDIOTS who were arguing with me on various bulletin boards (a few years ago) and PASSIONATELY REFUTING my claims that GINO was nothing but a jumbled smorgasbord of "Star Trek" cliches, ARE NOW SAYING THE EXACT SAME THING. Lets take "TwoBrained Cylon" for example. When this IDIOT was going through his "Lets give Ron Moore a chance even though he FUCKED 'Galactica'" phase, no one could tell him that GINO was NOTHING BUT "Star Trek" cliches. If you tried to tell him, Sandy accused you of being a terrible person, and accused you of failing to recognize what a nice person Ronald D. Moore was. In just about every post he writes now, Sandy makes at least one reference to GINO being nothing more than "Star Trek" CLICHES. One of his most recent posts states "GINO takes one hour of 'Star Trek' CLICHES and stretches them out over 8 hours." He even throws in remarks about GINO's LOW BUDGET which I have also been saying all along. Other posters have also come around and are now saying WHAT I HAVE BEEN SAYING ALL ALONG.
What happened? Why is "TwoBrained Cylon" (apparently) no longer the ASS HOLE he once was? Maybe it's because Sandy has been DISCONNECTED from the HIVE COLLECTIVE of the GINO marketing machine which is no longer in operation, and has gone back to being his usual, nauseating self. Sandy did "Battlestar Galactica" fandom a TREMENDOUS DISSERVICE by agreeing to endorse this STEAMING PILE OF HORSE SHIT from Ronald D. Moore which HIJACKED the "Battlestar Galactica" brand name. In the process of him doing so, he ENDORSED a LOW BUDGET, SHIT-BAG PRODUCTION shot on the back alleys and back lots of Vancouver; operating on a SHOESTRING BUDGET and using such FLEA MARKET MATERIAL as PRESENT DAY MILITARY UNIFORMS, HUMVEES, PRESENT DAY THREE-PIECE SUITS (FROM "SEARS"), PRESENT DAY EYE GLASSES, WALL CLOCKS, and anything else the GINO production crew can ultilize in order to relieve themselves of the TERRIBLE BURDEN of having to exercise some imagination in ART DIRECTION and PRODUCTION DESIGN. The ultimate INSULT to the viewing public is dressing a MODEL with NO ACTING ABILITY in a RED COCKTAIL DRESS and calling her a "Cylon."
IF RONALD D. MOORE'S PRODUCTION HAD ANY LESS MONEY TO WORK WITH, IT WOULD BARELY BE AT THE LEVEL OF A HIGH
SCHOOL STAGE PLAY
GINO had a recent episode where they tried to recreate (via LOW BUDGET) the "Lost Planet Of The Gods" episode from the "REAL 1978 GALACTICA SERIES." Ronny boy is even trying to recreate (via LOW BUDGET) the "Living Legend" episode with trusty "STAR TREK CONTRACT PLAYER MICHELLE FORBES" in the Commander Caine role. Isn't it convenient how Ronald D. Moore HAS ALL of the former "Star Trek-The Next Generation" cast members on 24 HOUR CALL? Why should we be surprised? THIS IS HOW RONALD D. MOORE OPERATES. Recycled "Star Trek" ideas, plots, and CAST MEMBERS plugged into his SCHIZOPHRENIC SMORGASBORD of "Star Trek"-"Terminator"-"Blade Runner"-"Babylon 5" SHIT HOLE of a production.
The GINO fans (Universal/Sci-Fi Channel STEALTH MARKETERS) are jumping for joy that a recent GINO episode had a .1 increase in viewership. This after GINO LOST 23% of its viewership AND NEVER GOT THOSE VIEWERS BACK. I guess that if you're a Universal/Sci-Fi Channel executive (WHERE FAILURE IS A DAILY ROUTINE YOU MUST DEAL WITH), it doesn't take much to float your boat.
