Airing Friday at 8 p.m. EST on Fox as a stand-alone movie, Virtuality was originally conceived by Battlestar Galactica producers Michael Taylor and Ronald D. Moore as the pilot episode for an ongoing series. However, the network declined to order more episodes, leaving the two-hour movie lost in space, an intriguing but apparently meaningless blip on the radar.
That’s too bad, because the premise proves rich enough to sustain at least a season’s worth of programs. Virtuality turns surveillance cameras on 12 crew members aboard the Phaeton spacecraft. Just six months into a their 10-year journey, they already have begun bickering.
