Not all that long ago, it was taken as gospel that Ron Moore was the biggest genius to hit TV Science Fiction since JMS. Of course that was when the SciFi Channel was running ads for Battlestar Galactica’s final season that pretentiously mimicked the Last Supper. Then the season finale came around at last and most people finally got it, even the die hards, that Ron Moore’s remake of Battlestar Galactica was worthless self-involved pretentious junk. Around the time that all the starships set sail for the sun and the survivors decided to commit suicide by giving up their technology in a prehistoric earth, the shark was jumped. And Ron Moore’s rep went with it. Now Caprica is being studiously ignored, and in a well deserved way too, as it seems that Ron Moore can’t turn in a show people actually want to watch, without someone else’s IP to play with. Case in point, Star Trek, Roswell and Battlestar Galactica itself. And then there’s Virtuality, Ron Moore’s brand new spanking original series debuting in the FOX Friday Night deathslot, but not just at any time, but in June. Kiss that spaceship goodbye. Not only are the promo photos being mocked over wheelchair dude in space and the outfits, but it’s clear that Ron Moore’s halo of pretentious invulnerability is gone. Maybe he shouldn’t have flown all those ships into the sun after all.
