... sci-fi epic, again for Fox, called Virtuality. Set aboard Phaeton, the earth's first starship, the story follows the crew on a ten-long mission to boldly go in search of a distant planetary system, with a virtual reality fun-room to keep them company. Of course, a problem in the virtual reality system means things don't run as smoothly as planned. Sound familiar? Well, maybe.

... astronauts stuck on a long-haul space voyage with only virtual reality headsets for company, is sort of like a late 21st century office show. It contrasts the claustrophobia of the deep-space ship Phaeton with the open expanses the astronauts can visit in virtual reality. There'll be three layers to the storytelling, each with its own visual style: the claustrophobic ship, the virtual world, and the reality TV show the astronauts are starring in. And there's a gay relationship (the bickering Manny and Val) that's as honest and multi-dimensional as anything on TV. [ ...
