....remember when Ron Moore was famous as "the guy who actually pays attention to Q&A and interviewer criticism" and we loved him for it?

Look, there is a major danger of audience pandering due to unfair sample size of the questions......but when criticism becomes very widespread, like, Heroes Season 3 or something,…

Yes.

Pervasive trolls and haters are different and worse than people who just happen to really hate something. "Structured criticism", even differing opinions...those aren't bad. In fact, "constructive criticism" is a vital part of the creative process. Trolls who make groundless criticisms, however, drown out the…

"That is not, nor was it ever the type of show the makers of BSG were striving for. "

Actually Ron Moore outright had a mission statement, that essay on "naturalistic science fiction" he posted to his blog for the world to see, in which he directly stated he was striving for "nothing less than the reinvention of scifi…

...if you read my post, I'm not "decrying" Jericho: I loved it. I'm discussing how to categorize it.

" That was what your father and I were trying to do. Create heroes." WHAAAAAAT that means April O'Neil's father helped Shredder to create the Turtles which, WHAAAAT!!!!""

How does any woman even remotely wearing business clothes look like Hillary Clinton all the time? Look I was a child in the 90's, but was this some sort of cultural backlash at the time against Hillary as representing Second Wave feminists who insisted on wearing women's business pantsuits? If so...that was TWENTY…

Actually, what about all of those stories that glorify teamwork over individual selfishness? i.e. how Han Solo chooses to go back and help the rebels at the end of Star Wars?

Yeah, but without that backwards-talking dwarf crap.

Reality will explode with the inherent awesomeness of this film.

What are you suggesting? Switch to TV documentaries in which naked humans are let loose in the woods and then hunted for sport by the cameramen?

My major hope is that this was the last show greenlit under Mike Stern's leadership, and that hopefully the new creative lead at SyFy will take us in a new direction; they hyped this as their big Spring premiere simply because they had little else.

I am waiting for Defiance Season 2.

Ron Moore's triumphant return to television?

The Kzinti were never live-action! Anachronism!

Kindness and selflessness are the same thing.

This is the same kind of bull that Ron Moore pulled as he rationalized his way through Seasons 3 and 4: fans complained that "Starbuck" was started to behave consistently and out of character compared to "Starbuck as we saw established in Seasons 1 and 2".

Ron, at times, tried to pass it off as "well you never…

...do you read what you type? The entire point I just made is that LESS than 50% of the world is nuked in Jericho! Only 23 major US cities get nuked - much of the national infrastructure survives intact and indeed returns to more or less functional levels of civilization by Season 2. No, 50% of the world didn't get…

If, for the sake of argument, on a four season show, Ron only started thinking that there might actually be literal Angels on it in the third season....yes, this was far too late in the series to introduce such elements.

A major complaint by many major reviewers....most recently TheMarySue's weekly recap....was that…
