EEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAARRRRGGHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!


And to think we may never know what happens next!!!!

BUMP

[dustin]

I sure hope this series continues or they AT LEAST give us an end to this... they set up a whole series and now may not even continue it!?!? I have to know what happens!

Oh. My. God.

LOVED IT! Totally freakin LOVED it!! Loved all of it!

Nik and the rest of the cast were great! I loved the chemistry between Nik and Siena. BTW, she is disgustingly gorgeous and I am so jealous, but I digress.

Loved the premise of the show itself...reality TV in outer space?!?!

I want more. I WANT MORE!!! Is it real? Is Frank dead or alive? I must know. FOX, get off your rumps and make this show a regular series!

Oh my dear lord. Just caught the last thirty minutes of Virtuality!! I was completely blown away. It will be a great injustice if the series is not shot. Not sure if Fox is the network to run with it (i.e. Firefly) but hopefully it will catch on, maybe SciFi (or is it SyFy now?) could pick it up. This was the best thing I have seen on TV in a very long while. And thanks to the DTV conversion I saw it in HD, how cool is that.

O.K. I'm hooked. I can't have Nikolaj ride off into the sunset as the last thing I see. I need a series.Digging out the pen and paper to write Fox.

Come on all you guests, I see you! Let's hear your thoughts!!

[foolforlove]

I thought the first half was slow, but the second half really got my attention. I wish I'd known if it was already in the bag as a series though (how did I miss this?), I've had it with liking shows that don't get picked up.

What's the tv show premise? The only way the captain is reachable is through the virtual reality experience? Hm...I'm just guessing here.

Who is the actor playing the bad guy in the virtual reality experiences. He looks so familiar.

The bad guy looked familiar to me also, but I can't place him!!

From what I could tell, Dear Captain is supposed to be dead. His girlfriend, there, looke dtotatly gobsmacked to see him there
Which itself brings up several questions: Jane-the-computer didn't seem to 'see' him there. Does that me that his girlfriend is hallucinating? That iPke somehow got 'sucked into' his virtuality module when his body died? Or is Virtual-Pike a) merely another simulation? b) some kind of pawn of the hidden villain?
Or perhaps Pike isn't truly dead?
And of course: WHO sabotaged the door?
And that's just for starters!!!

[John T. Folden]

I'm going to watch it a second time through before I say much but... horribly, horribly GOOD with a very frustrating "ending"...

[bananabreadg]

Loved it!

[GryphonStalker]

Yes, I am lurking.

No, I didn't even have the slightest clue what Virtuality was or when it would be on. I recall faint a haunting of a rumor that ..."That guy from battlestar is working on something new." I honestly didn't even think about it until tonight.

During a casual dinner with my sister and hubby, I flipped channels desperate to find anything to watch. It caught me, this funny scene of civil war but the lighting it was so odd. The background didn't match the characters and it felt sharp. Out of that pure curiosity we realized what we had stumbled on. Glee!

It sucked us in and I'm glad we by chance caught it from the start, in the desire to learn more I have wandered here. I am disappointing to find it has gone from pilot to TV movie but I am not surprised, it is FOX after all (a rant for another time).

Now I have a post card to send! I sincerely hope this engaging show gets picked up by someone.

My thoughts on who sabotaged the door....

Spoiler

the producer. I thought that even before they showed him lowering the audio so he could hear what Frank was saying. That and the fact that his chair was empty while the whole thing was going on.

Big fan of BSG, so I checked it out. I enjoyed it and would like to see more!!!!!!!!!!
