Virtuality
Grr... so I just watched Ron Moore's new sorta TV-show premiere, sorta TV-movie Virtuality. If you live in the US you should too.
I'm angry and a little bit hurt, not because it's bad. No, quite to the contrary it has all the makings of what could be a great show, mystery, drama, intrigue. Chances are, it never will become one. I'm angry because it only got a handful of viewers last Friday, potentially ruining the slim chance it had of becoming a continued series. However getting shoved into the Friday night death slot, in the summer in the same week as a major movie release, I'm not sure how many viewers they could have been realistically expecting.
Words of wisdom to any aspiring young writers or directors: If you've got some sort of brilliant idea for something fresh or smart, don't go to Fox. Seriously, the corpses of Firefly, Arrested Development, Futurama and Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles are still rotting on their front porch.
I desperately want this to get picked up. Maybe this will receive the same grace that Dollhouse did?

Two in one
Bill Nye the Science Guy playing William Shatner. One of the more surreal things I've seen.
