I watched the backdoor pilot of Virtuality on Hulu the other night.  If you were to ask me whether or not it was enough to make me want to watch the series, I’d say no.  It does have an interesting concept: twelve astronauts are sent out to another star system to find a habitable planet [...]

Virtuality Premieres Tonight

Sure there are the obvious high points: Helo not dying, the humans finding a happy ending, awesome effects and battles.  And there are the obvious heartbreaking points: Laura’s death and the fact that this is all over.  But for all [...]

The following is a message from Ron Moore posted on the Sci-Fi forums by Mrs. Ron Moore.  I really tried not to tear up when reading this.  It didn’t work.
I don’t want this day to happen.

Tomorrow the story will be over, my tale having been told, [...]
