Moore is less

How wrong can you be? Anyone with a whit of intelligence would prefer Moore as The Saint.
*grin*
Nah. I am sure that Kirk would be the woman, not Spock.
That's the most fucked up idea ever.
I'm not saying Moore's some kind of messiah, but if they did want someone to run a new Trek show I could certainly think of worse choices. He's got a pretty strong track record on Trek (yes, he wrote a few stinkers, but his best episodes are superb) as well as experience running another sci-fi show. So why is he such a polarising figure?

I just don't understand all this vitriol about Roger Moore.
One of my pet peeves is people who go off on a rant and expect people to know what they are talking about while providing little or no clues.
I'm guessing there's some recent interview with Ron Moore where the subject of Star Trek comes up, but the OP offers us no clues how to find it, and only oblique clues to it's existence at all.
You don't need to treat us like idiots (say, explaining that Star Trek was a tv show), but it would be nice if you gave us some clue what you were talking about before you start foaming at the mouth.
Im with you..RDM was a great for Star Trek. I didn't care much for nuBSG, but his episodes on TREK were usually, I think, well done.
Someone said they dont like people stories? Well, sorry, but TREK is ALWAYS best when its about people and NOT about effects. City On Edge of Forever, The Visitor, Inner Light, The Offspring, The Defecter are often sited by the actors of the various shows as being among their favorites...
So..for me? RDM was great for Star Trek, and would have saved Voyager if he had stayed. Dragons Teeth was one of Voyager best episodes.
nuBSG? ehhh..not my cup of tea..

Dude, before you go off writing stupid shit that makes no sense, do your homework.
Oh, never mind. Everyone else here did it for you.
And yet it isn't the first time I've run across it.
I think it was an interview with Moore in Star Trek:The Magazine where I first heard the whole story that Gene felt that, in the utopian future of the Federation, being orphaned would not be a bad thing, so kids wouldn't fear it. Life would just be a glorious adventure, and nobody would ever be sad.
I think Gene may have been drinking his own kool-ade.

The Adventures of Jane T Kirk? Heh, I'd watch that.
Moore's Voyager episode was Survival Instinct, which was excellent.
I would be all over a new Moore series. The reasons have been posted all over this thread, so I needn't repeat them.
"Dragon's Teeth" was written by Michael Taylor. It took me about five seconds to find that information on Wikipedia. That's probably less time than it took you to write the above quote. If you did some actual research before spouting your unfounded bile about Moore, perhaps someone might actually take you seriously.
I didn't mention that he did. Someone else did. I actually knew that Micheal Taylor wrote it.
You also "knew" that Ron Moore wrote the script for The Chase. Have you ever heard of Memory Alpha? Perhaps you should visit that site more often.
People have very passionate opinions of him, from both ends of the spectrum. There are those who think he is the greatest writer that ever has written, and then there are those who have been disappointed with his work. This thread is no different than multiple about him since he first got involved with BSG.
Personally, I think he's a great writer and have consistently enjoyed his work in TNG, DS9 and BSG. He has his flaws and BSG showcased those just as much as his talent But what also makes him so interesting is his brutal honesty when it comes to his work, he doesn't pull punches when it comes to episodes of his that he doesn't like. Which in the end is why I can respect him and even forgive subpar episodes.
He also developed the story for Barge of the Dead.
