The "Corporate Culture" of The "SyFy Channel" Has a Knack For Taking Projects That Ordinarily Would Be Successful In Anyone Else's Hands, And Turning Them Into "Chronically Failing Dog Shit"

See the source image

https://tvseriesfinale.com/tv-show/krypton-syfy-orders-superman-prequel-tv-series/

The..."SyFy Channel"...evidently wants to jump on the superhero bandwagon currently occurring in cinemas and on television, and somehow get a piece of the financial pie for themselves.

There's just one problem. The..."SyFy Channel"...can't do what other people can do in the movie and television industries in the areas of Science Fiction and Fantasy. They never could. If the past 20 years of..."Comcast / NBC / Vivendi / GE - Universal"...erroneously owning and mismanaging the..."SyFy (Sci-Fi)"...Channel have proven anything, it is that they have been the WORST people in the business when it comes to trying to manage what is / was supposed to be a Science Fiction channel overall, and the WORST people in the business when it comes to trying to provide Science Fiction and Fantasy entertainment to the masses.

This blogger has seen it all (all of the B.S.) coming from this channel during the past 20 years. Beginning in 1999 when the condescending attitude towards all things Science Fiction began coming from..."Comcast / Vivendi / NBC / GE - Universal"...as it began its slow descent into thoroughly mismanaging the once great..."Sci-Fi Channel" of the 1990's.

The B.S. continued full force coming (cumming) from this channel in the 2000's as it...

1. Tried to deny that it was a Science Fiction channel during a good chunk of the decade because it was embarrassed in being one.

2. Turned itself into a low budget, Saturday morning..."Wayne's World-esque"....generic, basic cable channel instead, filled with every manifestation of generic crap programming one could imagine.

3. Polluted the airwaves with the likes of such crap as...

a. Sharknado
b. Geeks Who Drink
c. Scare Tactics
d. Dream Team
e. Ronald D. Moore's..."GINO" - (Galactica in Name Only)...series.
f. Helix
g. Into The Crapper - with Wil Wheaton
h. Ice Spiders
i.  Frankenfish
j.  Octo-Shark
k. Crossing Over - with John Edward

4. This blogger then experienced this channel going through..."Peer Envy"...of the other cable channels doing much, much better with Science Fiction television programming then they ever did / could.

5. "SyFy"...then tried to emulate how well these other cable channels were doing with Science Fiction / Fantasy programming by trying to compete with the likes of...

a. Blood Drive
b. Killjoys
c. Wynonna Earp
d. Van Helsing
e.  Z Nation
f. Helix

6. There was and always is one main problem with the..."SyFy Channel"...

Everything they do comes across as...

a. Stunningly uninspired / Stunningly boring
b. Ill-fated responses to what they see going on around them. Too little, too late.

c. The overwhelming sense that the..."SyFy Channel"...isn't and never will be owned and managed by true Science Fiction fans, but instead is owned and managed by corporate idiots who never should have bought this channel in the first place back in 1999. And this sense always comes across in ALL of its programming.

This brings us to..."Krypton"...

In talented hands, this would have been a worthy addition to..."Supergirl"...on television, the other superhero shows on television, and all of the superhero movies. But again, we aren't dealing with talented people at the..."SyFy Channel"...

This blog predicts that..."Krypton"....will be nothing more than teenagers in space doing boring as shit activities that have nothing to do with super heroics or the..."Superman"...legend.

Maybe When The "SyFy Channel" Grows Up, It Will Someday Be An Actual Science Fiction Television Network. It Hasn't Done So Yet, After Almost 20 Years of Crappy Ass Mismanagement


See the source image




http://www.syfy.com/shows


"Happy"...is everything...BUT...what the..."SyFy Channel"...has delivered to viewers during the past 20 years of its indecisive on-air identity as a cable network, and all of its horrible manifestations of television programming coming from its chronic on-air identity crisis spanning the past 20 years...

1. Blood Drive
2. Wynonna Earp
3. Geeks Who Drink
4. Ronald D. Moore's...."GINO" - (Galactica in Name Only)....Series
5. Van Helsing
6. Z Nation
7. Sharknado
8. Geeks Who Drink
9. "Into The Crapper" - with Wil Wheaton
10. William Shatner's Full Moon Fright Night
11. Dream Team
12. Scare Tactics
13. Crossing Over - with John Edward
14. Helix

SyFy's new show..."Happy!"....also looks like a real downer...with MUPPETS. If that's even possible.

Pardon Me, Everyone. Michael DeLuca Hasn't and Won't Be Working On a "Battlestar Galactica" Movie Any Time Soon Because He Will Be Too Busy Making "Cowboy Ninja Viking"

Michael De Luca Scott Stuber Battlestar Galactica




http://variety.com/2016/film/news/battlestar-galatica-movie-michael-de-luca-scott-stuber-producers-1201702407/

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0006894/?ref_=nv_sr_1

After finishing up the past two years finishing off a slate of thoroughly unimportant film projects that will ultimately find their way to the..."$5.00 Discount DVD Bin"....at..."Wal-Mart"....

See the source image

Also the final resting place of the collected works of Ronald D. Moore and Bryan Singer...

1. Jack The Giant Slayer
2. Outlander
3. "GINO" - (Galactica in Name Only)
4. Superman Returns
5. Mockingbird Lane
6. Usual Suspects
7. Apt Pupil
8. Any..."X-Men"...movie

As for Scott Stuber, his body of work appears even less important than Michael DeLuca's in Hollywood's financial..."Grand Scheme of Things"...

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0835959/?ref_=fn_al_nm_1

Can anyone's resume underwhelm more than the one that produced this?

See the source image

And Universal Studios expected us to believe that Scott Stuber was intellectually sound enough to produce a ..."Battlestar Galactica"....movie along with the other unimportant one? Michael DeLuca?

See the source image


As for..."Cowboy Ninja Viking"...

..."Battlestar Galactica"...movies have been shelved / never started for more ridiculous projects in the past.

Remember when Bryan Singer shelved / never started his..."Battlestar Galactica"...movie for the most ridiculous project ever?




Yes..."Mockingbird Lane"...

Because as we all knew at the time...more people in the mass market audience were always demanding a follow-up to the..."Munsters"...than they were to..."Battlestar Galactica"...ever since I was this high. My hand is at my groin.

Just Remember. When The Next "Jurassic World" Movie Comes Out Next Year And Will Probably Make a "Gazillion - Trillion" Dollars, It Will Be Because of The Moviemaking Talents of Steven Spielberg

See the source image 

Not because of anything intellectually extraordinary going on within the corporate management of Universal Studios.

So, if / when Universal Studios begins boasting about the box office performance of..."Fallen Kingdom"...next year, they will simultaneously need to divert all of their corporate accolades to the brilliant Steven Spielberg, who has pretty much (all by himself) kept the entire corporation (Universal Studios) afloat for the past 42 years beginning with..."Jaws"...in 1975.

The "Fantastic Four" / "GINO" - (Galactica in Name Only) Connection


See the source image
Doomed! The Untold Story of Roger Corman's The Fantastic Four [Blu-ray]


http://marvel-movies.wikia.com/wiki/The_Fantastic_Four_(1994)

https://www.amazon.com/Doomed-Untold-Cormans-Fantastic-Blu-ray/dp/B01LTHOXLO/ref=sr_1_13?s=movies-tv&ie=UTF8&qid=1511380383&sr=1-13&keywords=fantastic+four

Back in 1994, a low budget..."Fantastic Four"...movie was made and never released by Roger Corman for the specific purpose of merely preserving copyright ownership of the title, characters, and premise for all those involved. Not for entertaining an audience.

Isn't that interesting? A decade later in 2004, Ronald D. Moore's..."GINO" - (Galactica in Name Only)...series was made not for the purpose of entertaining an audience, but rather for the specific purpose (just like the..."Fantastic Four"...movie) of preserving copyright ownership of the title, characters, objects, and premise for all involved.

In both instances, the casts and crews of these productions thought that they were making something incredibly profound and meaningful for the noble purpose of entertaining an audience. In both instances, it was nothing of the kind for those who controlled the purse strings.

The sad / true story of the..."Fantastic Four"...begins in the links above and can be referenced elsewhere online.. The true story of..."GINO" - (Galactica in Name Only) is in my post immediately below this one.

Isn't it interesting (and EERIE) how individual instances of how disgusting the entertainment industry can be often parallel one another unknowingly to all involved?

Revisiting The Real Motives Behind The Existence Of Ronald D. Moore's "GINO" - (Galactica In Name Only) Series a Decade Ago

See the source image


Because this blog always could smell a..."Bill of Goods"....half a world away.

From..."Blunt Central"...The..."Investigative Wing"...of this blog...

1. Universal Studios hasn't revived the..."1978 Battlestar Galactica"...series and never will because it doesn't want to revisit litigation with George Lucas over the...."Star Wars"...vs..."Battlestar Galactica"...trial(s) of the late 1970's / early 1980's.

2. Since George Lucas  isn't involved with..."Star Wars"...anymore because..."Disney"...now owns it, Universal Studios would have to deal with..."Disney"...in some capacity if they brought back the..."1978 Battlestar Galactica"...series.

3. Even if this blog were to side with Universal Studios over the two above points (it has no intention of doing so because compromises could be reached in bringing back the..."1978 Battlestar Galactica"....series in its original and only true form as broadcast back in 1978), the mystery remains as to why Universal Studios keeps releasing..."Fake Battlestar Galactica Movie Press Releases"...every two years. The latest one involving Michael DeLuca and Scott Stuber. And has been releasing these fake press releases roughly every two years once 2001.

4. The..."GINO" - (Galactica in Name Only)...series was actually designed to...

a. Prolong Universal Studios ownership of the brand name..."Battlestar Galactica"...

b. Prolong ownership of character names and object names..."Battlestar"..."Viper"..."Apollo"..."Starbuck"..."Kobol"...from the..."1978 Battlestar Galactica"...series.

c. It didn't matter if the visual appearances of the above characters and objects were drastically altered not for the better.

5. Simultaneously while all of this was going on, this blog strongly suspects that..."Universal Studios / SyFy Channel"...also wanted Ronald D. Moore to make them a bland..."Rick Berman era / Star Trek"...sequel series on the order of..."Voyager"..."Deep Space Nine"...etc. 

a. Thus, you had a bridge set in..."GINO" - (Galactica in Name Only)...that looked suspiciously like all of the other bridge sets in all of the..."Rick Berman  era / Star Trek"...sequel series...


See the source image


"Holy Starfleet Command, Batman!! Was that the newest Starship design from the United Federation of Planets??"


"No Robin!! It was a poorly redesigned... 'Battlestar'...from Ronald D. Moore's..'GINO' - (Galactica in Name Only)....series!!"

Resting quite comfortably on one of the walls in a bridge set that ripped off all of the other previous bridge sets seen in all of the..."Rick Berman era / Star Trek"...sequel series. Including this..."Schematic Plaque"...of a primary ship (on one of the walls of the bridge) seen in all of the previous..."Rick Berman era / Trek"...productions ever so conveniently swiped by Ronald D. Moore for his..."GINO" - (Galactica in Name Only)...series.

Was a..."Battlestar"...a..."Constitution Class Starship"....from..."Star Trek"...in Ronald D. Moore's..."GINO" - (Galactica in Name Only)....series like this one?

b. You also had the large ensemble cast of..."GINO" - (Galactica in Name Only)...that emulated in number the large ensemble casts of all of the..."Rick Berman era / Star Trek"....sequel series.


See the source image


6. Ever wonder why Ronald D. Moore's..."GINO" - (Galactica in Name Only)...series survived one low rated season after another for four straight years? We're talking a nosedive in the ratings from one season to the next...lower & lower.

This blog strongly suspects that it was necessary for Universal Studios to keep..."GINO" - (Galactica in Name Only)...on the air despite low ratings because keeping the series active helped to preserve the ownership of these copyrighted names...

a. Battlestar
b. Basestar
c. Cylons
d. Colonial Warriors
e. Viper
f. Cylon Raider
g. Apollo
h. Starbuck
i.  Kobol

It was necessary to keep the series on the air at that time even if it meant losing money in ridiculous and obscene amounts (due to low ratings) to keep all of these copyrighted names preserved and active under the..."Universal Studios Corporate Ownership Umbrella"....


See the source image


See the source image

If you were a..."Star Trek"...fan 10 years ago at the same time Ronald D. Moore's..."GINO" - (Galactica in Name Only)...series aired, you could pick up the..."Official 'GINO' - (Galactica In Name Only) Companion Book"...which was the same thing as re-reading all of your..."Star Trek: The Next Generation Companion"...books.

They were both identical in contents. Regurgitated info from all of the..."Rick Berman Era / Star Trek"...series.

You know what? Both Ronald D. Moore and the..."SyFy Channel"... never showed any shame whatsoever as to how far they would both go in using..."Star Trek"...as limitless source material in both how..."GINO" - (Galactica in Name Only)... was produced / written and how it was merchandised.

With what we know to be..."Battlestar Galactica"...(the 1978 series)....never even entering the picture.

Absolutely disgusting!!

One of the big mysteries of..."GINO" - (Galactica in Name Only)....that this blog continues to mull over is why Rick Berman was never credited as the Executive Producer / Creator of..."GINO" - (Galactica in Name Only)....and Ronald D. Moore more appropriately listed as..."Caterer"...with a big spoon up his rear.

It's Always Reassuring To Know, That On The "Corporate Evolutionary Scale", a Certain Corporation Named "Comcast - Universal / SyFy Channel" Will Always Remain Stagnant

Just as it has always remained for the past 39 years. Regardless of who the corporate owner has been:

1. Comcast
2. NBC
3. Vivendi
4. G.E.

Did Jim Henson's son(s) have a hand in bringing this little critter to life? He (they) and his late father only have the innate gifts (mass market flair) for bringing puppets to life.

This Blog Contends That "Doom & Gloom" Was Never "In Vogue" As a Viable Form of Profitable Mass Market Entertainment Even 10 Years Ago

Image result for edward james olmos battlestar 

Name one time...ever....when mass market audiences en masse were clamoring for the FROWNS of Edward James Olmos as an attractive form of mass market entertainment. 

NEVER!!

Name one time when this FROWN and the..."GINO" - (Galactica in Name Only)...reruns it is attached to were ever demanded for by mass market audiences in both reruns and original productions.

NEVER!!

Name one time when reruns of..."GINO" - (Galactica in Name Only)....were ever demanded for by local stations for..."Syndication Stripping"... 

NEVER!!

Name one time when..."GINO" - (Galactica in Name Only)...was ever genuinely successful in its original broadcasts.

NEVER!!


This was the actual reaction to..."GINO" - (Galactica in Name Only)...from a segment of the mass market audience. David Letterman's audience back in 2008.

1. Ridicule
2. Snickering
3. Delayed responses
4. Awkward responses

5. The..."GINO" - (Galactica in Name Only)...cast members being laughed at and not laughed with.

Listen carefully to the studio audience. They were downright uncomfortable even having the..."GINO"...cast members up on stage that night.

Not exactly a..."warm & fuzzy"....welcome and response to a..."dark & gritty"...television show on the..."SyFy Channel"....was it?

Everyone responsible for the existence of that show..."GINO"....Ronald D. Moore included...should have been fired that night. Including Bonnie Hammer of the..."SyFy Channel"...

Audiences aren't stupid. They know junk when they see it. They know a..."Bill of Goods"...when they see it.

In hindsight, has Ronald D. Moore finally admitted to himself that he shouldn't have done that show?

Moore and the cast members may love their own work in that show from the standpoint of narcissism, but that doesn't matter. All that matters is if the mass market audience loves your work. Which wasn't the case with Ronald D. Moore's..."GINO" - (Galactica in Name only)...series. You don't make a dime in this business loving and praising your own work.

Seth MacFarlane Is The New "Go To Science Fiction Guy", Permanently Replacing Ronald D. Moore and Bryan Singer

 

Not that Ronald D. Moore or Bryan Singer ever did a satisfactory job in those position(s) anyway.

At least Seth MacFarlane loves the Science Fiction genre, and doesn't get bogged down in doom & gloom the way Moore and Singer did.

Seth MacFarlane also connects with mass market audiences with a sense of fun in all of his productions, including..."The Orville"...
