Dalton is a dumbass

Hey - interesting article and the suggestion had been made before by one of the cast members suggesting it was an expensive show to make. However, the guy's a totally idiot about tv having changed. Nielson's done in the TV space. Cable boxes and sat tv now offer REAL data. Non of this statistical bullshit, but REAL data on how many viewers are watching, this includes DVR. DVD and itunes sales without a doubt have a huge effect on how a network makes it's decisions, just look at Family Guy coming back after being canceled for a couple years, due solely to DVD sales. Furthermore, it's this kind of change in the ways in which people view TV that has allowed shows like this to take off. Serial dramas like these have seen a huge rise in recent years - BSG, Lost, 24, Heroes, Sopranos, the Wire, etc due to the fact that people have channels with which to catch up. I think that in reality it was time to end the show and the editors felt like ending it. This was always a major source of praise for Farscape - that fact that they had a vision and followed through with it to the end (at least according to Lyron). Does anyone REALLY want to watch 3 more seasons of Lost? Likewise, do we really want to drag on the mystery of the universe for 3 more seasons? Methinks not.

why this guy is a total fucking douchebag

This is in respone to the article that Leon posted.
and for the Imperator, Schulte, I shall write this in list form.
1.) Who the fuck does that bullshit "man" think he is?
2.) How fucking DARE he question Eick and Moore?
3.) Granted, viewers have a ton to do with how a TV show fares. But let me get this straight: it's costly to produce this show, so costly that they left it on Friday nights for two years? So costly that NBC (who's being run by one of the best creative guys in years, evidenced by The Office and Heroes and Friday Night Lights) and SciFi (a channel that let the "prematurely cancelled" FarScape run for five years with a movie thrown in) are going to end it against the creators' wishes?
4.) This fucking guy should give me the numbers on how many DVDs of BSG have been sold, how many people TiVo it, how popular the reruns are, etc. Stats are bullshit, this guy is just throwing shit out there.
5.) so now they'll cancel it b/c it actually did BETTER?! moved it to sundays, right, gained viewers, meanwhile every critic in the world is raving about it, gained viewers...i mean, what do you want? it's about space, there's no nudity or vulgarity, and it's a hard show to just jump into. this shit ain't the sopranos, and i'm relatively certain the people at SciFi recognize this. That show is the best thing that ever happened to SciFi, legitimized it in many ways, and good scifi shows in general, and you think they're gonna pull it? it's their Lost: so what if it costs a lot? you make that shit back.
6.) i'm not saying that there's no conflict btwn writers and the network; but this seems bullshitty, esp. when EOJ has said he doesn't want to do anymore, the creators are already taking on other shows (and taking Starbuck with them), and we already saw Earth. what, it's gonna take two seasons to get there? kara's such a great navigator that she gets lost up some dorkwads' ass which mysteriously also has the strange circle-drawings written on its walls?
7.) shit's gotta be a compromise. if it ever got out that nbc/scifi were pulling the plug against the creators' wishes, there'd be fucking hell to pay. my parents watch this fucking show, it's waaaaay more popular than this dildo makes out.
8.) besides, if scifi weren't completely dedicated to this show, you think they'd let them spend a whole fucking season talking about Iraq and suicide bombings?

BSG is being wrapped-up because of ratings

At least it is according to this guy: http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,20007101_0_20042276,00.html

I don't know what to say about this. He is absolutely right that people just don't watch TV the same way, but MY GOD, does that mean we are always going to lose the best TV shows?! Fuck Arrested Development, if I find out Sci-Fi pulled the plug because they didn't want to spend the money it will easily be the best show ever cancelled because of ratings. Easily.

GOD DAMN IT!

Great reference in there about Firefly too. This guy might have liked BSG if it had only been out in 2001 or whenever the hell he wrote it.

More from me soon.

19.) earth at the end of season three looked like the earth from Star Trek: First Contact, when the Borg go back in time and assimilate the earth and so now the whole place looks like it's made out of erector sets; is that what fucking happened?
20.) or is Jimmy Fucking Hendrix the god of this universe and came up with this whole story and made it happen cuz he's obviously a goddamn Love Wizard on Angel Acid who drinks the blood of stars and plays a guitar that's lightyears across and only makes sounds like that fucking unbelievable shit from Creep by Radiohead except when you hear Jimmy play it, a supernova immediately explodes your cock? and that's why they all know the song, cuz it's his universe?
21.) Fuck them and you for ending the show. that's like a Big Question answered every episode, sans bitchin space fights.
22.) Can I Fucking Get Bill Fucking Adama in a Fucking Raptor Fucking Cylons up? Please?
