Absolutely agreed!
One is forced to wonder if Richard read any of his own ghost writing and checked it over for anomalies? Or maybe he didnt care. Or maybe he did care and let it slide anyway?
But this isn't a thread to condemn RH's books.
Maybe then, the best answer to"the worst thing that ever happened to Galactica" might be that it was abandoned by the studio left to fend for itself for so many years?
