Satire: Ronald D. Moore To Create Galactica Spin Off Series
Dear Bonnie:
With our version of Galactica a sure-fire hit, I though I'd throw
you some ideas for NEW future Battlestar Galactica spin off series.
I think these are practical and realistic ideas which I'm sure
you'll agree with:
BATTLESTAR BLACTICA
You don't see enough minorities in outer space so this could
be a MAJOR HIT for us within the African American market. I
approached Spike Lee with the idea and although he kicked me in
the groin several times I really think we hit it off.
BATTLESTAR GAYACTICA
Think "Queer as Folk" in outer space and we're off with some
wonderful same sex hijinks!
BATTLESTAR SUPER PSYCADELIC FUNKY FREAK
With a nod toward "THAT'S 70'S SHOW" I think we can corner the
50-70 age group.
BATTLESTAR JESUS-ATICA
Even Christ would hate those meany ole' Cylons! What better
way to celebrate your love of God than by watching Jesus himself
Kick some ass for the Lord?
BATTLESTAR PORNACTICA
An adult version of our show would have the crew participating
in some serious adult fun (Cylons would be the sex toys!)
BATTLESTAR LALAPALOOZA
Our own "Caprican" music channel with hosts wearing colonial
uniforms and Cylon helmets pushing new age rock bands! Awesome!
BATTLESTAR 90210
Let's grab that 20-something market before Aron Spelling invents
another popular show for the hip and trendy!
BATTLESTAR VICE
Imagine 2 Colonial warriors stopping crimes and fighting against
drug pushers in outer space and looking cool! Incredible!
BATTLESTAR HAPPY DAYS
I admit this particular idea for a show would be difficult to
sell but we should really keep our options open on this one.
BATTLESTAR WWF
THIS would be huge. Wrestlers could wrestle Cylons not to mention
we can introduce NEW wrestlers and increase SCI-FI Channel's
demographic market share! I spoke to Vince McMahon at the WWF and
even though he filed a Cease and Desist order against me I think
he'll come around eventually.
BATTLESTAR ILM
NOTE: The letters I-L-M are NOT copywritable! This means we can
create a show where there are NO ACTORS but only visual effects!
Lucas lost his lawsuit against Universal, so lets see him try
and sue us again! He can't win! Ha!
BATTLESTAR IN THE FAMILY
Archie Bunker in outer space?? A racist commander of a Battlestar
could garner us some serious Emmy Awards as it did for ALL IN THE
FAMILY!
Here's a scene I wrote last night while on crack:
LT. EDITH: Commander Archie, why don't you like Cylons?
COMMANDER ARCHIE: 'Cause you intergalatic, Colonia Ding-Bat, I hates
them chrome plated, red-swayin' one eyed Jews!
LT. EDITH: Commander Archie, I don't think the Cylons are
Jews."
COMMANDER ARCHIE: If theys got a red eye, theys communists!
That makes 'em jews!
Contraversial makes for great ratings Bonnie! Think of it! We'll
upset the viewing audience and they'll fall in love with this show!
BATTLESTAR MCBETH
This show could cater to the more obnoxsious sci-fi fan (I'm speaking
of course of the STAR TREK: The Next Generation Fans and just about
anyone who reads a book).
A little Shakespear in outer space using classically trained
actors spouting old English could lure that micro-demographic known
as the Pompous.
BATTLESTAR SOPRANOS
Colonial mobsters and intersteller hit men keep all survivors of
that "rag tag fleet" in line with intimidation and fear! I'm on a
roll Bonnie!
WEST SIDE GALACTICA
A musical version of Galactica? You might ask WHY. I, of course
would respond with WHY NOT?
Well, Bonnie, I think these are some GREAT POSSIBILITIES. I'll call
you after I'm released from the San Antonio Hospital for the
Crimanally Untalented and we'll have lunch.
Best Regards,
Ronnie Moore
