   Moore was in charge of the Battlestar Galactica project I think   
   but I gather he left the production before it aired, so maybe   
   he didn't find helming a series something he wanted to do.   
      
   But Wolfe was boss guy on Andromeda, and made it pretty   
   interesting until Sorbo decided he wanted it dumbed down   
   and got him canned.

   Yup.
