Ronald D. Moore’s Virtuality pilot gets FOX-ed!

4 June 2009One CommentPosted by Phil

And there is my attempt at making an interesting title for this post.

Honestly, however, it's not like I'm even trying to make a joke because the FOX network is at it again. I'm sure all of you by now know who Ronald D. Moore is - he's the genius behind Battlestar Galactica, the best show on television this past year so far. Since his Galactica was coming to an end, he began writing new things like this television show, Virtuality.

It's not like it matters - don't get comfortable because FOX has given Virtuality a fantastic time slot - Friday night at 8. The prospect of an ongoing series has just been flushed down the toilet with Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles on its way to meet Firefly. You'd think FOX would eventually learn from their mistakes.

.... I actually may be getting ahead of myself, however. What if Virtuality actually sucks? It probably doesn't. It more than likely pushes the envelope of story telling which basically means FOX doesn't think American audiences can handle it. WTF ever... I shouldn't even act surprised. Besides, it's not like I'm going to watch it live on FOX or any FOX affiliate. Why should I support the channel when I can watch it via another way that only screws them?

Below is a press release for Virtuality thanks to Ain't It Cool News.

The crew of the Phaeton is approaching the go/no-go point of their epic 10-year journey through outer space. With the fate of Earth in their hands, the pressure is intense.

Tensions mount as the crew decides how to contain the virus and complete their mission. Meanwhile, their lives are being taped for a reality show back on Earth in the World Broadcast Premiere of VIRTUALITY airing Friday, June 26 (8:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX. (FM-0904) (TV-TBA)
