I tivoed Virtuality.
I've watched a bit.
The idea of the mission is interesting. . .but I think that the faux reality show thing is kind of annoying.
Well, other bands know more than three chords. Your professional bands can play up to six, sometimes seven, completely different chords.

A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

We watched Virtuality. Meh. I think there are too many characters. They didn't spend enough time on any one of them, which made it difficult to care about any of them. Still, Clea DuVall!

Everyone knows it was supposed to be a pilot for a series, so the unfinished plotlines were on purpose. Sounds like it had potential!

Warning: Some may consider this a spoiler, but with something this big I'm not sure one could avoid being spoiled.
I think that we've had this discussion before, and come down on the side of a spoiler is a spoiler, no matter how "big" it is. If you want to discuss the big spoiler, there's always Spoilers Lite.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
If there's any room for debate on the is it or isn't it polarity, it would be around the announcement from the airing network.
Is the when and who of the next doctor still verboten? I forget if they're both still spoilery.

Well, I'm still looking at the definition of spoiler in our FAQ
Anything that hasn't been broadcast. So anything from the show and the preview trailers is okay, anything from TV Guide or anywhere else is a spoiler, including casting news, episode titles and plot twists. No white fonting. Spoilers should only be posted in the spoiler thread.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Okay, so I saw Virtuality. I didn't care for it. I agree that there were too many characters, but also the character who had a mid-ep personality transplant - we did not care enough about him (or know enough about him) to care about his personality transformation or his ultimate fate(s).
I also am wondering about Ron Moore's fascination with alternative realities. What does he find about the concept that is so compelling to him?

Well, we already horribly violate the no whitefonting rule, so we may need to examine our behaviour and the rules that are supposed to guide it. And "spoiler thread" should def be "spoiler threads," for maximal confusion.
Speaking of which, has Jekyll aired over here? I recently grabbed it from Netflix and really liked it. The first ep and a half especially were very creepy.
