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

How he ended up as a member of the Writers Guild is anyone's guess. Three or four episodes into Ron Moore's 13 episode series, "Star Trek Boy" Ronald D. Moore has proven to be the worst custodian of televised Science Fiction since his buddy Brannon Braga deliberately tried to destroy "Star Trek: Voyager." Isn't it amazing how quickly and frequently former "Star Trek" staff writers fall into long periods of conceiving bad ideas? Ronald D. Moore is barely into his 13 episode season and his tradmarked BAD WRITING is already in evident.
Ronald D. Moore continues to GAMBLE on the television audience being MORE STUPID THAN HE IS, by coming up with story ideas that are TRULY AWFUL, RIDICULOUS, and INCREDULOUS. After the Cylons wipe out humanity in his BADLY WRITTEN MINI SERIES, Moore turns around and expects the audience to fall for the fact that the Cylons are now feeling sorry for those pesky humans they wiped out in the pilot episode (??) If this empathy and compassion were present in the Cylons all along, it surely would have prevented them from wiping out humanity in Ronald D. Moore's STUPID ASS MINI SERIES. Empathy and compassion, huh Moore? The same empathy and compassion that allowed your "Seven Of Nine" clone "Six" to crack the skull of an infant in your STUPID ASS MINI SERIES (??) This isn't good writing, Moore. It's ERRATIC, INCONSISTENT, POOR, RIDICULOUS WRITING.
Ronald D. Moore also shows in his writing that his knowledge of the military goes about as far as his adventures as a Boy Scout when he was a kid. A snot nosed kid tells the XO to F*** Off. Other crew members frequently tell their superiors to go bite themselves. Ronald D. Moore then has the audacity to say that this is how things really are in the United States military. Ronald D. Moore's knowledge of military life goes about as far as his ability to write a decent script, which hasn't happened yet.
Somewhere along the way, Ronald D. Moore also got the idea into his head that dysfunctionality among characters is a totally new idea that he invented. Moore will admit to inventing a great many things. If he continues to collect a paycheck from Sci-Fi Channel long enough, Ronald D. Moore will eventually take credit for inventing the wheel, space travel, jet aircrafts, bubble gum, and the push-up bra. Dysfunctionality is nothing new in modern drama. What is new however, is how BADLY Ronald D. Moore presents it. He presents dysfunctionality for the sake of presenting it, as a mechanical device. In the grand scheme of his GOD AWFUL STORYTELLING, Ronald D. Moore really doesn't need dysfunctionality. It is a cheap and convenient way for a BAD WRITER like Ronald D. Moore to manufacture workable and cliched drama. A BAD WRITER resorts to negative conflict more than positive reinforcement in writing because it is EASIER TO CREATE.
Looking back now, the writers of the "1978 Battlestar Galactica Series" should be commended for writing a series that did not resort to negative conflict to anchor their premise. Indeed, the WARMTH and LOVE of the Adama family expressed towards one another and their colleagues drove this series and made it unique. Apollo loved his father as much as he loved Starbuck and Boomer. Taken for granted back in 1978, this unique style of storytelling not only differentiates 1978's "Battlestar Galactica" from most televised Science Fiction, but also keeps this GEM of a series LIGHT YEARS ABOVE AND BEYOND Ron Moore's HUNK OF CRAP.
Not only is Ronald D. Moore a BAD WRITER, but he also writes in ASSEMBLY LINE FASHION. Jumbling up and cramming in as many of the LUDICROUS COMMERCIAL REQUIREMENTS Universal Studios/Sci-Fi Channel feels necessary to POLLUTE 2004 television with. Ronald D. Moore seems contented to keep a LOW PROFILE working for Sci-Fi Channel. Lord knows he won't be hired for anything else. That's alright. The more of Ron Moore's presence the audience can be spared of, THE BETTER.
