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

Like all of the other visual elements in Ron Moore's production (which are a major disappointment and an absolute outrage), the ridiculous spaceship design that this production team has the nerve to call the "Battlestar Galactica" looks like a dustbuster with two engine pods sticking out of its rear end.
Every visual aspect of this production was made by a production team that should never be allowed to come near an outer space/fantasy production ever again. This new spacecraft design is an absolute outrage, and doesn't even come close to being a worthy heir to the original, brilliant spacecraft design called "Battlestar Galactica" in the "REAL 1978 GALACTICA SERIES." This DUSTBUSTER design is UGLY, RIDICULOUS, and THOROUGHLY IRRITATING to look at.
The "REAL BATTLESTAR GALACTICA" spaceship from 1978 was a marvel of BRILLIANT spacecraft designing, model building engineering, and has grown to become as ICONIC a spacecraft as much as the U.S.S. Enterprise from the 1966 "Star Trek." series. The 1978 "Battlestar Galactica" spaceship is one of the most photogenic models ever designed and built. Absolutely attractive and spectacular from all angles, this spaceship model always looks good in front of the camera and the camera loves it. Its basic shape designed by Ralph McQuarrie, brilliant model designers Grant McCune and Joe Johnston refined the basic shape into an "Angry Alligator" look that makes the ship look like it could survive any combat situation without any effort.
Not surprisingly, Ron Moore's production team (WITH EGOS TRUMPETING) had the nerve and audacity to think that they could take this ICONIC spacecraft design and (in their warped perception of life) thought that they could somehow improve upon it. The results were DISASTROUS. The UGLIEST SPACESHIP ever designed and built for an outer space/fantasy production, and that is being too kind. A spacecraft design is supposed to attract viewers, not repulse them. If Ron Moore's Army of "Universal Executive Fans" want to spend all of their time looking at a DUSTBUSTER, then so be it.
