This article has even more relevance currently with the flop "Jack The Giant Slayer" having come and gone and costing the studio involved millions in losses. It was in fact, the biggest box office flop of 2013.
The point of all of this is....Has Bryan Singer been plugged into a permanent..."Stealth Marketing Machine Internet Based" just like his buddy across the aisle....Ronald D. Moore? Permanently and endlessly waxing over the mediocrity of these two individuals?Read the books Universal Studios has tried and failed to censor on Amazon.com...
And read these books at another location where Universal Studios executives and its stealth marketers won't be able to post negative, misleading (stealth marketed) reviews of the books via them purchasing candy and Rogaine Foam on Amazon.com (allowing them access to the Amazon book review section) and not actually buying and reading the books. I'll leave the other 150 global locations under wraps for now.

Kyle Smith of the rated the film a half-star out of four, saying, "For a movie that so strenuously rips off and , R.I.P.D. manages to come up with fresh new ways of being absolutely terrible. The plot manages to be fully predictable and freakishly bonkers at the same time, seemingly born of the same kind of brainstorming-on-L.S.D. session that must have given us ."

Fact #1: "GINO" - (Galactica in Name Only) was cancelled at the end of its fourth season due to low ratings.
Fact #2: "GINO" - (Galactica in Name Only) was not "One of the most popular Science Fiction programs of all time." It crawled along on the SyFy Channel's schedule due to low ratings during its entire four season run.Routinely getting beaten by reruns of "SpongeBob." Let's also not forget that each of the four, low rated seasons of "GINO" were broken up with a long (and I mean long!!) hiatus between season renewals. As if SyFy Channel were saying...."Should we renew this low rated thing or shouldn't we?" Wouldn't a ratings hit have been renewed a lot more quickly between seasons?
"GINO" was a flop, plain and simple. Certainly from the business side of things. As for this nonsense about "GINO"...being...."One of the most popular Science Fiction programs of all time"......as I have said many times before...."The Stealth Marketing Machine" for this long cancelled flop never turns off!! It's still active four years after its cancellation!!
What I'm waiting for is someone REALLY opening up about this show!!
1. Yes, "GINO" was a low rated flop!!
2. Yes, it should have been cancelled long before its first season completed due to low ratings.
3. Yes, its mini series / pilot had the lowest audience test scores in history.
4. Yes, it really wasn't "Battlestar Galactica" but was instead...the eighth season of "Star Trek: Voyager"....dark and dirtied down.
Were the SyFy Channel and Ronald D. Moore really na ve enough to believe that simply calling something "Battlestar Galactica" made it so?Read the books Universal Studios has tried and failed to censor on Amazon.com...

Status Quo Conformity - The SyFy Channel, Ronald D. Moore, and Bryan Singer love to go with the flow. They are not risk takers. Everything they do is firmly and permanently grounded within the "Corporate America Parameters" of the mundane....the "not surprising in the slightest"....the "bearing a striking resemblance to everything that has come before." From the SyFy Channel's umpteenth variation on the crappy monster movie...to Ronald D. Moore's "typical Wall Street - Corporate Take" on "Battlestar Galactica" - (complete with unappealing characters, and a business suit obsessed wardrobe being worn by a culture of people supposedly thousands of light years from Earth)...to Bryan Singer's failed remake of Richard Donner's "Superman - The Movie" in "Superman Returns"....and apparently being involved with the umpteenth and thoroughly unnecessary sequel to ..."X-Men."
....SyFy Channel, Ronald D. Moore, and Bryan Singer are typical "Corporate America Conformists" who by their very natures...always take the fun out of Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Horror by instinctively and unconsciously...always adhering to the....."tried & true"....the "endlessly baked over ad nauseum"....and most criminally....the "always boring as hell."...
Lack of Talent, Imagination, and Inspired Thinking - There are endless mysteries in life and one of the "biggies" always has been...why SyFy Channel, Ronald D. Moore and Bryan Singer continue to pursue Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Horror when the three of them have always lacked the talent, imagination, and inspired thinking to do so. When you suck at something....move on!! Move on to other things!! SyFy Channel, Ronald D. Moore, and Bryan Singer never got this blunt lecture from anyone. So, they keep paddling in water going nowhere...continuing to accomplish absolutely nothing in Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Horror.
I think it has a lot to do with the fact that SyFy Channel, Ronald D. Moore, and Bryan Singer keep hoping to make it big in some way in Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Horror. Failing to realize every step of the way that habitual "Status Quo Conformity to the Mundane, the endlessly Baked Over, and Typically Boring" is not the way to go about it. This is what keeps holding them back. And the three of them not having the wisdom to realize this.
No brighter opportunities on the horizon for any of them -SyFy Channel, Ronald D. Moore, and Bryan Singer always stay right where they are at because they always lack something better (career wise) to move on to. Look at Ronald D. Moore, for example. He may have had a new employer in the form of "Sony" for the past couple of years...but look at who his only paying customer has continued to always be even while he has been working at "Sony." That's right...."SyFy Channel." He might as well have remained "in-house" at the "SyFy Channel" because he really hasn't gone anywhere. Because "SyFy Channel" continues to be the purchaser of roughly 99.99% of the garbage he continues to crank out. Oh yes, he has that one project and one project only with "Starz." That sword and sorcery "mumbo-jumbo" of some sort but let's be serious and realistic here. How long is that "gig" with "Starz" really going to last? I base that on Ronald D. Moore's failed "gig" with CBS-TV and the "Wild, Wild West" remake. SyFy Channel, Ronald D. Moore, and Bryan Singer have always been locked into this...."Boomerang"....."Merry-Go-Round".....relationship with one another. They always end up back together again sooner or later. "Likes" attract absolutely. Especially in this extreme case when the three of them are so alike in terms of lacking talent, imagination, and inspired thinking.
They were made for one another.Read the books Universal Studios has tried and failed to censor on Amazon.com...
