Richard Hatch fought for the revival of BSG but I don't think he wanted this dark.
He has written some novels for BSG.
But the reality is the public love this dark genre.
Gosh this started as way back as Madd Max and Max Head Room.
Star Trek corrected this utopian society when I think rick Berman did "ST Next Gen"
The darkness was the borg.
Deep Space Nine - the cardassiens
Voyager - the borg
Then Enterprise they rewritten Roddenburys original work.
For the original trekkers they know what it is
but to attract the new audence a more darker Trek was made
I do wonder this Dark genre invites encourging a negative aspect of human society.
More rebellious, etc etc
Its seems to go in like a free for all - mafia - the bad vs the badder
look at caprica
As far as Boxey - there's a big craz for Noah in his teen years.
He really didn't get much of media career - just some sexual fire
Now if you look at him - he like justin timberlake - at tattooed
Anyway - good science fiction is a big arguement
Its like arguing "Hard Core Sci-Fi" vs "Soft Core Sci-Fi"
essentially Hard Core spits at Soft Core
ie: Dune the book is great but Dune the Movie sucked
iRobot - Well it was more like a short story for asimov
but now its just a Will Smith Movie
mmm another kinda of Dark genre
mmm sort of like disney is doing now with skyrunners
Dark Disney is coming
Mickey Mouse could be dropped or maybe Dark mouse will be the new thing
Media doing any thing to captilize on the market for the fast revenue
But the message every putting out into the world is anarkey(sp)
the complete opposite to utopia
No more happy endings.
Just lesser dark ending - to stand for Light
a darker ending - to stand for evil
But sinces its just all dark
there is no Light etc etc
Dec 21, 2012 - our society is to take a new path
its said it be the better path
but it didn't say we will take the darker path
if so then kick in revelation
The end of man - in favor of a new order
hehe a Dark Lord
if so then we will turn into all those dark creatures
living in darkness and fire and brimstone
-----------
To put another kink for the dark genre
Its more towards inciting a riot to the religious people (pay back)
hence fighting for when Church attacked Gays for seeing them as dark creatures of the devil
but put it another way its the Religious mafia vs the Dark Mafia
fighting over who gets the share of audience of $$$
--------
our society is right blended not black and white - all shades of gray
neither good nor evil
more like everyone at the end of the movie "Volcano"
everyone is covered in ash - nuclear winter.
