Agreed. People have taken long voyages before and they didn't have VR systems. Okay, the sailing ships of old could stop off at whatever island chain or country was along the way. But as you say, the VR system's broken, people are getting raped and damn near murdered in there, and they want to keep it on!? Turn the thing off, do a complete diagnostic, and do something novel like read books, watch TV/DVD. Hell, for years yet they can simply get entertainment beamed to them from Earth. A VR system is simply not that critical.

I watched it last night and I wanted to love the show, but like a lot of scifi shows I found it frustrating. First off, the vr system. If something is wrong with it, you try to fix it. Not just say oh well and keep using it. That should have been the case in the first 10 minutes of the show! I am going to give it two more episodes before I give up on it. I also hate the fake shaky camera! If you are 200 years in the future why do you have shaky cameras???

I think you're Big Brother in Space take was pretty spot on, but at least you could get through an episode of Big Brother. A futuristic reality show set in space. That should be one of those things you think in your head and say "OOH, that would be cool" until you say it out loud. Then you should be like "Maybe not." --- In scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com , Keith Johnson <keithbjohn...@...> wrote: > > > Anyone watch the "Virtuality" debut on Fox?
