I watch last night's "Battlestar Galatica" Sciography and it reminded me a lot
of VH1's Behind the Music program in terms of both style and substance -- if
that helps you out at all..
I don't know if they'll use what I said--after all, they only have an
hour of airtime!

I thought it was too kind to the show. Yet it did show the idiocy of
"suits" going for the quickie rating at the of the whole series. And
pressuring for too early lauch then blaming writers for not having
good scripts.
That bit about the boy committing suicide over the show's cancellation
was quite unfeeling and inconsiderate and unnecessary. (#1 reminding
parental grief at missing the signs of a serious problem that ends in
a child's suicide; #2 using it as "push button wrench your heart"
excuse to bring the show back; #3 nutzoids: how many threaten suicide
if _________ show is cancelled and the idiot lawsuits against the
network like the parents suing KISS for their kid for their
fire-eating without proper instruction.)

Hey, some people's opinions are just worth the time ;-)

I'm not JMS (I don't even play him on teevee...), but I'm hoping that
it was just a poor choice of words. And that they'll handle the show
with a bit more equanimity than the blurb indicates...
