  • this is great.

    By far the new Battlestar Galactica is one of the greatest TV shows of all time.

    Kudos to Ron Moore for doing what he has done with the show and mythos.

  • He's right about the premise of the original. As a kid, I recognized an incongruity between the impetus of a genocidal attack and the show's family friendly execution. Ron Moore has reaffirmed my faith in the power of storytelling on TV. Risk is good.

  • @vbritsi

    Your statement says more about you then it does about him.

  • @vbritsi well he won with Battlestar :) Maybe that's all he'll have, but that alone has caused so much inspiration and influence among fans.. don't see the motivation behind your hate, he's a nice guy

  • I really enjoyed his vision of Battlestar Galactica and how he reimaged the series. Also I am a big fan of DS9 and thought he did a tremendous job by adding dimension to what was a boring Utopian universe. I cant wait for the new bsg series blood and chrome, however I am skeptical of the movie.

  • Religion ruined the show.

  • Best.Show.Ever.

    Period.

  • Ronald D. Moore is not the genius people seem to think. He's just an average schmuck with the knack for writing 'so-so' television screenplays for Star Trek and spinoffs, which makes the Trekkie geeks cream their jeans.

    But he's a one-hit wonder and his lack of talent has caught up with him. Fox rejected his "Virtuality" TV series.

    Furthermore, he has had several of his movie scripts rejected because they were utter crap. (His shitty scripts then had to be rewritten from scratch)

  • One rotten, shitty human being.

  • One amazing human being.

  • I remember first seeing it as a full length movie in 1979 probably as the pilot, and then as a TV series in 1980. All information says the series came first.

  • Loved the 70's BSG as a kid, remember having a toy viper and cylon space ship.

    Regarding RISK, it can be controlled and calculated.
