Ronald D. Moore's..."GINO" - (Galactica in Name Only)...series was made not because mass market trends and appetites at the time were demanding it, but simply because Universal Studios had to devise a sinister way of retaining ownership of the..."Battlestar Galactica"...property. It was without a doubt, the most politically motivated excuse for misusing a copyrighted brand name in television history.
The..."GINO" - (Galactica in Name Only)...series did not bring the..."Battlestar Galactica"...concept back to life. It did not re-awaken this still..."Sleeping Giant." Nor did it add..."Canon Material"...to the..."Battlestar Galactica"...concept of Glen A. Larson and Leslie Stevens. Still sleeping after 40 consecutive years even during the original four year and low rated run of..."GINO". It was instead, a lazy riff on every umpteenth warmed over..."Star Trek"...concept from the..."Rick Berman Era of Star Trek"...that Ronald D. Moore was too lazy to get his thought processes out of... "GINO"...also proved that Ronald D. Moore on his own was and is as incapable of attracting a mass market television audience as would be some neophyte writing his/her first spec script for the very first time.
Seasons one and two of..."GINO"... were plagued with low ratings, a pilot episode with the lowest audience test scores in television history, and an obvious contempt for its source material..."The 1978 Battlestar Galactica Series"...It was the most disgusting manifestation of..."fragile egos clashing with the realities of this series mass market failure"...that kept this series on the air despite nose diving and low ratings during seasons and two.
By its third low rated season, Ronald D. Moore's..."GINO" - (Galactica in Name Only)...series was still a television series in denial over its own mass market failure to attract a legitimate and massive television audience. The embarrassment of this situation came through loud and clear (and came to a head) on...March 20th, 2008...when the..."GINO"...cast members appeared on David Letterman's late night show and were receiving a continuous and..."Icy (Chilly)"...response from Letterman's audience who were obviously uncomfortable about having the..."GINO"...cast members up on stage.
The failure here came from the fact that Universal Studios and Ronald D. Moore wanted it both ways: "GINO"...was not designed to attract a mass market audience. It was specifically designed to retain ownership of the..."Battlestar Galactica"...brand name. That's all. The hell with mass market audience approval. Yet, Universal Studios and Ronald D. Moore still wanted a mass market audience loving all over their stupid show.

Universal Studios and Ronald D. Moore learned the hard way that you can't go in two opposite directions at the same time: Shun a mass market audience and then expect them to be there for you when your ratings are low and you're stupid enough to send your unpopular cast members out in public on David Letterman's show expecting a standing ovation from this very mass market audience in which you SHUNNED in the first place.
You can sense how unwelcoming David Letterman's audience was towards the..."GINO"...cast members in this film clip.
Ronald D. Moore's..."GINO" - (Galactica in Name Only)...was a series that failed because it was a series unwilling to give love, yet expected love from the very mass market audience it failed to attract in the first place. So, the only thing this series could ever do was love itself: With fake awards, fake publicity stunts with the..."United Nations"...and always denying how unpopular it really was. Whoever it was who came up with the stupid idea of booking the..."GINO"...cast members on Letterman's late night show..."had balls bigger than church bells." Sending the..."GINO"...cast members on such a suicide mission to utter oblivion.
"GINO"...always prided itself in tackling the tough issues of the day. What..."Star Trek"...had already been doing decades before and a lot better. There was not one thing that..."GINO"....did that broke new ground or was unique in any way. Everything they ever did was so openly stolen from..."Star Trek"...you always knew where the..."Idea Thefts"...were coming from.
Ronald D. Moore's favorite tactic was to steal an idea from..."Star Trek"....and then warp and twist it to such a repulsive degree (Rape) and then claim..."That was my original idea!!" Ronald D. Moore was expecting what from whom with the..."Rape"...episode? A pat on the back from.......??? Adulation from....??..."Convicted Sex Offenders?"
Of course, by this time...Ronald D. Moore's..."GINO" - (Galactica in Name Only)....series had strayed so far away from what it never was in the first place..."Battlestar Galactica"....that it was nothing more than the..."Maury Povich Show"....half heartedly disguised in a lazy veil of stolen..."Star Trek"...clichés. It never found an audience because it never knew what it wanted to be in the first place. It sure as hell wasn't going to be..."Battlestar Galactica." Over Universal Studios..."Dead Corporate Body!!" It was enough for Universal Studios that the..."Battlestar Galactica"...brand name simply be stolen and misused on Ronald D. Moore's show.
"Battlestar Galactica"...continues to be owned by the wrong corporation and the wrong people..."F*cking".....with it during endless bouts of narcissism and severe delusions of being talented.

And read the books at another location where Universal Studios and its stealth marketers won't be able to post negative, misleading (stealth marketed) reviews of the books via them purchasing candy and Rogaine Foam on Amazon.com (allowing them access to the book review section) and not actually buying and reading the books.
