Fox's "Virtuality" pilot a great start to a sci-fi series - but will Fox pick it up?

I would so watch it. I'd watch it live, record it, & watch it again.

 I couldn't have loved the pilot more. It was perfect. I flailed pretty much the whole time. I fell in love with each & every character (which is rare for me) & all their relationships. It's a beautiful, wonderfully written show with enough wit to keep me laughing in the parts where the heart & depth of the characters didn't make me want to cry.

 Cheesiness aside, I loved the show insanely, & am desperately hoping some network - ANY network - picks it up, & soon. I need more. 

I never thought i would get into the sci-fi shows, but this show pulled me in. I totally plan on watching if it is picked up by FOX or Sci Fi... (part for Clea and part because i think it will make a great series).

I haven't watched and was in two minds about whether to give it a look, but seeing Ronald D. Moore's name just now...I'm in!

he's a writer, producer and director of Battlestar Galactica so as far as i'm concerned my mind is made up. If he's involved in concept and writing i'd almost guarantee it's going to be something special.

...but Fox has already decided they aren't picking this up and i'd be hugely surprised if scifi (i know i know, sorry, scyfy!) picked this up mostly b/c moore already has the actually anticipated Caprica that will be airing....

We should all be happy that we saw this instead of it get buried and never played (think the farm....) apparently fox/universal spent too much money on the pilot and wanted to recoup whatever they could...

one way or the other virtuality won't be on fox despite it's good pairing w/dollhouse

Although I found the first half heavy going, I'm glad I persevered.  What a brilliant show.

Can never understand how those reality shows and other crap can keep going season after season and yet one show that requires a little thought on the part of the network heads or viewers can't seem to make it past the pilot stage.

If this doesn't get picked up, it will be very sad.

I thought the first half was boring. I didn't feel connected to any of the characters and therefore didn't care what happened to them. 

I thought the second half was WAY better and began to dig below the surface of some of the characters, which made me begin to care what happened to them.

I think a series could be cool.The writers need to make sure these characters become likable. Right now, I don't really know any of them except for the two women who opened up about being raped. It made them vulnerable. It made them human. It made me like them.

Does anyone else see the direct rip-off (s) of 2001: A Space Odyssey, Aliens, and Star Trek: Next Generation in this pilot's offering? (I half expected to see a slimy alien pop out of a crew member's belly during the dinner scene.) I remember when science fiction writing for television was ground breaking and edgy. Where's Harlan Ellison and Ray Bradbury when you need them?

Having said that, I loved the reality show angle and the network/corporate greed elements. (It's really all about ratings and product placement, kids!) The characterizations were brilliantly written and played as well. And I'll admit to laughing out loud at the japanese rock star secret agent virtual fantasy... Up until the violence...

I will continue to hope and dream for original and thought-provoking scripts.

It really is a fresh show...I always wondered if something like this would become a series or a movie...I was surprised though with Clea Duvall, she is the most intriguing of all the characters. She calls it as she sees it, I totally appreciate that!
