Scott D. Pierce: Fox's 'Virtuality' is intriguing, but …

I watched the show tonight when it aired and didn't know that it was not going to be a series until I logged on to find out when I could watch the next episode. I was extremely disappointed to find out that this is going to be a "failed" pilot/made-for-tv movie. I was really hoping to watch this series play out. (Or at least finish it as a movie.)

I thought it was absolutly awesome. You had to stay with it all the way, kinda like "24". Fox, please air this again in September to give it a better fighting chance. It is worthy of prime time. This movie made you use your brain, unlike much of the garbage that is aired today. Fox will gain some big time revenues if they slot this series. PLEASE,do your audience a favor, and put it on. Thank you.

Thought the cinematography was very catchy and I drew me into the show. Sketchy at first but, as it continued it was quite good! Well written, acted and actors filling their roles. The ending was fascinating and I hope the network continues to air it! DON"T STOP NOW!

This was a great pilot that ought to be developed into a series. It is ironic that one of the core plot elements is about a reality tv show but all fox is giving us is reality tv ... unlike this pilot their shows lack substance. Too phreaking bad here... this would be a great 2nd step after BSG

If the series needs buzz to continue well let's give it buzz!! This is just something that I happened to catch by chance, but I sure didn't change the channel. It took a while to get into it, but it turned into something that I wanted to follow in the end. At first I thought it was going to be another annoying "fake" reality TV show, but you get used to the interview elements and you get the feeling that there's something deeper running through it all. And the reality show element becomes an absolutely essential part of the series at the very end. It would be spoilerville to explain, but man, I have GOT to see what the twist on this is going to be.

So please continue the series, FOX. PLEASE? Do you have to doubt the potential of a series from the producer of Battlestar Galactica?

i would love to see this as a series. so many shows viewers get into get canceled. this pilot is just a peak into what a great show could be. i was very disappointed to find out this is not a series.

WOW. I don't think I recall seeing a pilot that had me so firmly gripped in it's throng! The two hours went by so fast that I was hoping to see an advertisement stating when the next episode would air. I want to watch it again to see what I missed the first time. I hope that Fox considers developing the show soon. I want to know what happens!!!

I hope they make this into a series I watched the pilot a few weeks ago and really want to see what happens

Did Fox even advertise this? I totally missed it, and it's not on Hulu, dang it...

I had this pilot on dvr and just watched it. It was so good and what a cliff hanger! Was very disapponted to go online and see that it will prob never be made into a series! Fox is missing an opportunity here to make the next Battlestar Galactica! Everything is in place to make a series that will go down in history. Too bad they gave it such a crappy timeslot at such an inopportune time.
