This link comes from Battlestar Galactica News:
"Battlestar Galactica" exec producer Ronald D. Moore has inked a rich overall pact with NBC Universal Television Studio, reupping for another two years.
Deal calls for Moore, who exec produced the first season of HBO's "Carnivale" before joining "Battlestar," to create and develop series, with an emphasis on sci-fi-themed projects.
He's already set up the NBC fantasy skein "Pen and the Sword" and "Warehouse 13," a quirky one-hour for Sci Fi Channel. Moore also will continue to steer "Battlestar," which kicks off the second half of season two Jan. 6.
A part of me is thinking this will be both good and bad for the show. Good in that Ron Moore gets additional influence with NBC and therefore more security for his projects... bad in that it might detract from his involvement with Battlestar Galactica directly. What are your thoughts on this announcement?
Tough to say how this will impact BSG. RDM has apparently already been working these other potential projects for a while now, without detracting from BSG. So, it's entirely possible that there will be no negative impact at all. Only time will tell though.
I did crack up at the acronymn for NBC Universal Television Studios: NUTS.

Anything that helps Moore continue his career has got to be a good thing, I think. He seems to have an incredible talent for producing high quality shows, and I for one will be interested to follow his projects from here. I don't see BSG losing out too much from this anyway.

yeah, I think as long as it doesn't distract him too much from the show this is a good thing. He is an incredible storyteller and I'd like to see more (aside from galactica) from him. Ultimately though, only time will tell if this is a godd thing or not...
