Talk:Ronald D. Moore

message: Why is there no info on Moore's time on Carnivàle? I'd add some but I know little except that he was there for the first season. Wasn't there some kind of friction or something that led to his departure? At any rate, I find it odd that the only mention of this show is that his wife was a costume director on it. --Patrick T.

message: Needs more info on Caprica.  I saw that Moore directed at least one episode, and I'm sure his other involvement warrants its own section?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.151.5.230 (talk) 03:54, 6 February 2010 (UTC)

message: Right now the recent addition sounds a hell of a lot like original research.
:Many Star Trek fans left disgruntled after the drop in quality of the Star Trek franchise after Deep Space Nine with the airing of Star Trek: Voyager and Star Trek: Enterprise have since switched over to Ron D. Moore's Battlestar Galactica because many feel it addresses all of the problems that the last two Star Trek series had.  Indeed, a frequent panel debate subject at many scifi conventions was "What is Battlestar Galactica doing right that Star Trek did wrong?".  Ron D. Moore has stated that he intends Battlestar Galactica to be a very realistic, and unapologetically dark series that does not "talk down" to its audience but moves a t a brisk pace and the audience must keep up.  Many fans have observed that Ron Moore's stated goals for Galactica are make almost a point-by-point response to many of the reasons that the later Star Treks are believed to have failed:  Ron Moore does not believe in using stock characters but instead very real, deeply flawed characters; the series addresses human sexuality from a mature standpoint, while Star Trek resorted to using Seven of Nine and T'Pol as sex objects.  Voyager and Enterprise were notorious for having many standalone episodes, rejecting the storyarc format of Deep Space Nine, and many believe that this was done to encourage higher ratings.  On the new Battlestar Galactica, almost every episode must be watched in sequence as the storyarc expands.  Also, Voyager and Enterprise failed to fully develop their secondary characters, instead focusing heavily on the "Big Three" format to generally poor results; the new Battlestar Galactica features many secondary characters that are fully fleshed out.  Also unlike Voyager and Enterprise, but like Deep Space Nine, Ron Moore's Battlestar Galactica does not clearly proclaim which moral standpoint was "correct" in a given episode, but is often dark and morally ambiguous.
It needs to be re-written and sourced before going back in.  If no-one else gets to it, I'll try to get around to it.  AlistairMcMillan 00:04, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

message: "...originally on a Navy ROTC scholarship, but failed his senior year after losing interest in his studies. He was then disqualified from Navy service due to a high school knee injury," is unclear.  Was he disqualified because of course failure or his knee? - Keithustus 04:27, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

message: According to Ronald B. Moore's page, RBM started using his middle initial to differentiate himself from Ronald D. Moore. Since TNG was RDM's first major gig, I'm wondering if he ever used the "D" previous to his working on Star Trek, or started using it at basically the same time as RBM. This especially comes up since RBM started working on Encounter at Farpoint, but wasn't credited until S3; and then appeared as simply "Ron Moore" for the first time I can find in the S3 episode "Ensigns of Command," 3 episodes before RDM's first episode. This makes me think it was actually RDM who added the initial to not conflict with RBM. Fool4jesus (talk) 22:35, 5 July 2017 (UTC)

message: In the section called "Unproduced Pitches and Failed Pilots," there's an anecdote about Moore and the cast of Battlestar appearing in a cameo on CSI. While well-researched, this is neither an "unproduced pitch" nor a "failed pilot," and as such doesn't belong in the section. Frankly, it hardly belongs in the article at all, but if it does, it should be in an appropriate place. Thoughts?PacificBoy 03:15, 26 March 2021 (UTC)
