Ronald D. Moore and Bryan Singer have proven to be insignificant lightweights in the arena of Science Fiction / Fantasy producing, writing and directing. Their previous work in this area of required expertise has proven to be no more memorable than an average episode of "L.A. Law" or "Jackass." Their collective attempts in trying to build careers for themselves in trying to tackle Science Fiction and Fantasy has resulted in both of them destroying their own careers in movies and television. Ironic since both of them were always trying to use Science Fiction and Fantasy to build careers for themselves.
Ronald D. Moore -
His post "Star Trek - Rick Berman Era" work has yielded nothing but one failure after another. His failed attempt at trying to reboot "Battlestar Galactica" for a chronically low rated cable channel that isn't Science Fiction in the first place (SyFy Channel) resulted in three ill-conceived series that only had salaried stealth marketers on Internet bulletin boards rooting for them ("GINO", "Caprica", "Blood & Chrome")
Every other Science Fiction based production he has tried to get up and running either got shit-canned ("Virtuosity", "Wild, Wild West") or never got passed the pilot stage ("17th Precinct".)
Bryan Singer -
Where does one begin with Bryan Singer? There certainly is never an ending with this guy. After racking up an astounding 23 consecutive projects that either got aborted (even if they were legitimate in the first place), or were fake to begin with via endless fake press releases....

...Bryan Singer has proven himself to be...
"The King of The Fake Press Release"
There are other things going on here evident sinply by reading between the lines of all of these projects (Bryan Singer announced) that never came to fruition due to them being aborted or were fake to begin with.
1. After the failure of "Superman Returns", Bryan Singer has as much clout in Hollywood right now as does your average "Below The Line Key Grip" in Hollywood.
2. No one in Hollywood is giving Bryan Singer any money for any reason for any project of any formidable legitimacy. His only two projects after "Valkyrie" in 2007 were "The Munsters Halloween Special" and "Magnum Gold Ice Cream" commercials.
After Bryan Singer quietly walks away from both "X-Men: Days of Future Past" and the "Twilight Zone" remake with CBS-TV due to both projects either collapsing or never having been legitimate claims by Bryan Singer in the first place, I suspect he will pop up in television directing sitcom episodes such as "Two and a Half Men", more ice cream commercials, or a follow-up to his "Munsters Halloween Special."
We can also count on Bryan Singer making his next "Battlestar Galactica" fake press release / movie announcement in the fall of 2013.
