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?
