That's not to blame anyone, either. It's just a moment to pause and think about it.

That's not fair Ken, apples and oranges. As has been stated a million times before, The "flak" Desanto's production was receiving was because of one simple reason:
we had no freaking clue what he was doing. The secrecy was Tom's decision. You visited him at his office I believe, you had a good idea what was going on. The rest of us didn't and it was excruciating. When I first learned of their Battlestar production, an image of what it might be like appeared in my brain. Ironically, it was very similar to what the moore mini was like and it was horrifying. As it turns out nothing could be further from the truth. What Desanto was doing was wonderous. Too bad we had no idea at the time.
Regardless, I believe the "chance" Michelle is asking about is something that has happened since the advent of Moore, Eicke, and Hammer, not prior. A true genuine "chance" to help the original fans and the mini get on a better footing without just a "suck it up and deal with it" attitude. Like her, I can't think of a single example.
