After all the negative hype about Ron Moore’s (ex-BSG) Virtuality show – I expect the show to really suck.
IT DIDN’T.
Virtuality was actually a really decent human drama – the special Fx were pitiful and worse than what the BBC does – but the basic plot line was interesting as were the characters.
Sure…it had the same Hal/2001 element
And sure the virtual word stuff was basic too.
But the way it was all put together, the captain cheating with the pyschiatrist’s wife.doctor having parkinson’s — captain dying – the evil dude in the virtual worlds — it was really cool.
The basic idea of having a reality tv show in space at first seemed kind of lame – but just like how it kinda sorta works The Office – it rly works well for Virtuality
Will we see the show?
Likely not – this was a one off pilot at this point but hey you never know…
