Revision as of 06:03, 9 February 2006
The proper title of the production company is "R&D TV." The spelling of the title here is a limitation of the use of the ampersand character in MediaWiki.
At the end of the credits of every episode of the Re-imagined Series, writer/developer Ron D. Moore and producer David Eick present themselves in cartoon form inside their office, maiming each other alternately in humorously creative and highly violent ways. This episode-ending cartoon is the production logo (of sorts) for "R & D TV", the production company for Battlestar. The cartoon is immediately proceeded by the NBC Universal logo.
The background pictures in the office also change periodically for unknown reasons.
The victim of each attack usually begins to suggest an idea ("Get this..!") as a lightbulb appears over the head of the episode's victim. This are the signs that mean that the bloodshed and maiming is about to begin.
Here is a summary of cartoon results tabulated to date. Each episode lasts only 5 seconds.
Season 1
David beats Ron over head with a baseball bat after talking too much.
Ron lets loose a gorilla that attacks David.

David throws Ron through the office window to be run over by an NBC studio van.
Ron slaps David so hard that his head spins 360 degrees. David cries out as if he were bitc...well...he cries out without much masculinity...
David calls up Ron, who's eaten by a shark.
Ron pulls out a magic wand (complete with a star on top), says, "No bones", and zaps David's bones away, leaving him a boneless mass that crumples to the floor.
Ron sings, "I've got an idea", and David rips a portion of Ron's shirt off.
As David says, "...This'll kill ya..." Ron brings on an armored knight, whose mace crushes David's skull.
David subjects Ron to death (or maybe just intense stinging) by a thousand paper cuts--to the face.
Ron proposes "Rock, Paper, Scissors". David says "Go" and prepares a large set of scissors, while Ron goes off-screen to find a very large rock, dropping it on David's body to squish him flat, winning the match.
Ron says "This will shock you..." David flings magic lightning from his fingers at Ron, who changes into Martha Stewart.
Before the two can suggest suggesting an idea, a courier makes a special delivery with packages for each. A small toy organ playing "Pop Goes the Weasel" is heard as the packages open with monsterous heads that look like the courier on springs. The heads promptly consume both David and Ron.
