Stallion Cornell's Moist Board

Well, what sweeping impact did the Variety ads make? Here we are a week after the ads appeared, and Colonial Fan Force is as quiet as an original idea dancing inside of Ronald D. Moore's head. What return on investment did Colonial Fan Force get? What sort of feedback did they get? From anyone?
Looks to me like the entire campaign was a waste of time. Has there been so much as a grumbling within Glen Larson's stomach since the ads appeared? Has Larson done anything? Is he planning anything?
I'm really inspired by the Colonial Fan Force ads. A week after they appeared, we are right back where we started from. Glen Larson not doing anything, Ronald D. Moore doing his 13 episode 'Star Trek' series (as usual), Tom DeSanto doing everything except 'Battlestar Galactica', and Universal/Sci-Fi Channel (as usual) engaging in their daily copyright infringement against Paramount Pictures 'Star Trek' franchise.
Congratulations, Colonial Fan Force!! You accomplished nothing!!!

Lang, you arrogant SOB you have some gall to criticize the efforts of Colonial Fan Force. The efforts of CFF are in three phases, raise the money for the ads, place the ads and write in response to the ad placement.
How much did you donate? Nothing, you worm of a man.
Did you know the first ad was for studio executives' eyes? Did you know that the second ad in Cinnescape would be out shortly to get fan letter writing support?
What do you know about grumbling in Larson's stomach? Your head is so far up your own ass the only grumbling you hear is your own.
You continue to rant because it's the only coping mechanism you have. For knowing that other than Moore, Hammer and Eick YOU have done more to destroy a Battlestar Galactica continuation than any other one single person. You where once labeled the "Defender of the Faith", a chance to redeem your self and use your "talent" for good. You couldn't last more than two weeks.
I have only one other hope as dear to me as the big screen return of the original Battlestar Galactica. That is you DROP DEAD two days before it opens with the ticket you purchased in advance online under your pillow.

Put him on ignore and you'll feel a lot better for it.

If you respond to him, or react to his posts you give him credibility.

Trust me I'm a doctor.

In the end, Langy was right, not for attacking CFF but due to the fact that the ads acoomplished nothing. If anything it did more harm than good.

his bitterness towards Moore outweighs his love of the original (or, in short: he's a traitor to all fans of the original).

If there were another few rounds ads there's a good chance they would have accomplished something.

I think its very telling that CFF stopped doing ads as soon as the new series got picked up. I think Commander Taggert is terrified of the possibility that Moore could take credit for the original being revived, and his bitterness towards Moore outweighs his love of the original (or, in short: he's a traitor to all fans of the original).

Mucous, that comment is way off base.

Taggert was trying to do something positive. It took a lot of money to buy the ad, which is why there weren't any after the Moore series went on the air. Yes, the ads didn't accomplish anything (and Lang was correct in that respect) but don't fault Taggert for at least trying something.
