Tracy ,'The Message'
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.
It's like Sunshine meets Solaris, sorta.
Meets Red Mars meets every holodeck ep of Star Trek RDM never got to write.
if Fox is counting on fan buzz in a decision to continue with Virtuality, why the frick don't they have at least a splash page for it and a forum?
As far as I know, there were never any plans to continue it past the pilot. I'm really not sure why they aired it at all, except that they probably want to release it on DVD at some point.

Now, I'm not sorry that I watched it, but I'm not so masochistic that I would want to own a DVD to repeatedly torture myself with.
Comcast had it listed as ending at 9:15, when I'm guessing in reality it ended at 9:30.
I rerecorded it, adding 5 minutes on at the end and it was just enough. I suppose that they don't have a way of dealing with things that start/end not on the quarter hour. Idiots.
And I'm definitely keeping these time issues in mind for Planet of the Dead, which is coming up at the end of July. I wonder if the Torchwood mini will have similar timing issues?
I think that part of the problem is that they're shown without commercials in the UK, so when they add commercials and random crap, it pushes it into unstandard territory. Now, why they can't be precise, I don't know, but there it is.
My Dish Network recording went 1:18 and while I haven't watched, I did fast forward and saw that it cut off just as Tenth Doctor opens the Tardis.
Bah.
I think all of my Doctor Who has been viewed from downloads, then at some later date the chopped up and abused television version. Which then drives me to want to watch the downloaded version again. It's a circle of Doctor love.
Whoa. I'm watching the Star Trek episode "For the World Is Hollow and I Have Touched the Sky," and it begins with a scene where McCoy says he's examined the entire crew, and everyone is perfectly fit except for one man who has a terminal disease, and it's him. It was just like the scene from Virtuality.
Virtuality: "voting/democracy" line was from Sunshine (yes, yes, and from fifty other stories).
Huh. Somehow missed that Eureka season 3 was out tomorrow. Not sure if I'll pick this one up. Poochie kinda ruined the season for me.
