Fox has posted the first twelve minutes of the pilot (and possibly only) episode of Ron Moore's new series
Virtuality. The mastermind behind the revamped
Battlestar Galactica could stand a little more respect from Fox. On the other hand, at least they're giving us twelve minutes of the show so we can judge for ourselves.
Frankly, the show should have been taken by SyFy considering how much marketing effort they gave to
Battlestar Galactica. On the other hand, they already have
Caprica coming up (which undoubtedly will get more respect than Fox will give
Virtuality) so they might consider that single show to be "Moore" than enough.

Originally,
it was slated for July 4th, but now Fox has moved the pilot for Ron Moore's new virtual reality series
Virtuality into its
Friday Night Death Slot on June 26th. I guess it wasn't even worthy of a holiday showing.
You'd think, given how the relaunch of
Battlestar Galactica renewed interest in mature, complex science fiction that Fox would have more faith in the series. They were probably looking for something akin to
24 and all they got was a bunch of crew members playing video games on a long space mission.
On the other hand, the show could legitimately suck. I would tend to doubt it as I've always liked Moore's work on the
Star Trek franchise and certainly
BSG.
Caprica wasn't as good as I'd hoped, but it's only the pilot.
In order for
Virtuality to have any chance of survival than all it has to do is get good ratings on a Fox Friday night during the summer. Yeah, good luck with that.

For those us
Battlestar Galactica nerdz, we're still feeling frakked up, teary-eyed and sniveling following the series' recent exit stage right.
Ron Moore laid the show to rest with dignity and deserved pride, which is why our posting the following video might appear silly, childish, and self-indulgent to some.
But still, if you haven't yet seen it, the combination of
Muppet and Cylon is a marriage made in LOLheaven, and we can't let Adama and co. get away without witnessing a giant Animal enacting a nuclear holocaust across the twelve colonies. While there are plenty of mash-ups floating around YouTube, this one has most definitely stood the test of time (less than two years, that is), considering that it combines
Bear McCreary and Jim Henson (which is essentially something we've been waiting for since the very moment Six blew up the planets and stuff in the
BSG miniseries).
Match made in heaven? So say we all.

(S04E14) It is impossible to have a bad episode of
Battlestar Galactica. Even a bad episode is better than most of the other crap on TV. Fortunately, this was the opposite of a bad episode.
Obviously, there was no question about how this entire coup was going to end. Our heroes have way too much spunk to let little worms like Gaeta and Zarek control their ship for long. This is actually a rare case on the show of a neat wrap-up of a plot-line (and since we only have six episodes left, we'll probably see more wrap-ups, some of which might be neat).

Here's more proof that Sci Fi Channel loves nerds – and their money. A limited edition "uncut and unrated" version of the
Caprica pilot will be released on DVD April 21. That means fans can get an early look at the
Battlestar Galactica prequel series starring Eric Stoltz and Esai Morales, which is slated to premiere on Sci Fi in 2010. The DVD list price is $26.98, according to Sci Fi. Great news, right? It gets better.
Because of the early DVD release, fans might get a chance to influence the development of the series. In a release, Mark Stern, Executive VP of Original Programming for Sci Fi, says the DVD release "affords the creative team an unprecedented chance to get viewers feedback before production on the
Caprica series begins this summer."

Ron Moore has offered a few new spoilers with regards to season 4 of Battlestar Galactica. Much of it can be determined from a two-page spread in
Entertainment Weekly (the one with Matthew Fox on the cover). Or you can see the two-page spread directly from
here.
I know that in today's Internet-laden society, it's tough for anything entertainment-related to remain secret, but it sure says something when the creator of the show offers goodies about the show's final season.
Spoilers after the jump...

Ron Moore, he of the super-stupendous remake of Battlestar Galactica, will be sticking around the television universe for a few more years. According to press reports Moore has signed a two-year, seven-figure deal with Universal Media Studios, which is part of NBC Universal.
This deal means that he will continue to work with partner David Eick on BSG, which ends its run after this season (the fourth). He'll also work on other projects for the studio. This means that you could see something from Ron on NBC, USA, or SciFi Channel in the near future. There's even talk that Moore could have a new series on the air as early as fall 2008.
And, who knows? If Bionic Woman, which Eick is heading up, needs a bit of help perhaps Moore will stop in to give him a hand.
