Virtuality :
Here are a few more spoilers I left out ofyesterday ’s write - upof Ron Moore ’s new show Virtuality , either because I forgot or because they were too spoilery . Rika , the married woman of the ship ’s therapist / show producer Roger Fallon , works in the ship ’s “ greenhouse ” and tell plants are better become to quad travel than humans — but the plant get having root problems . Roger allegedly gets a pct of all the revenues from the ship ’s “ practical realism ” show . Jules Braun has the V.R. program simulate his all in son Shawn , but the simulation is n’t rreal enough , until the program takes from Braun ’s own psychological visibility , and then Shawn is a minute of a psychotic .

One of the Green - Eyed Man ’s virtual - reality murders targets Captain Pike when he ’s having illicit virtual sexual urge with Dr. Fallon ’s wife Rika . The Green - Eyed Man “ kills ” the Parkinsons - smite Dr. Meyer in V.R. , but he finds the experience release instead of scary . When the Green - Eyed serviceman attacks Billie , the figurer geek , she tries to tell the estimator to “ freeze ” the program , but the program wo n’t stop . And she ca n’t exit the programme prematurely . ( Oh , and the V.R. is via headsets , not a holodeck . Shoulda mentioned that before . )
Dr. Fallon disagrees powerfully with Captain Pike ’s decision to take the V.R. modules off - line after Billie ’s ravishment . He feels that without the V.R. modules , the crew will go loco in deep space . Also , an applied scientist named Jimmy Johnson , who ’s confined to a wheelchair , really needs V.R. because it ’s the only way he can get out of his chair . ( The show has a dozen characters , which is a lot to get to know . )
And here ’s the major raider : At the end of the pilot , Capt . Pike gets killed while trying to repair the ship ’s com - array . ( It wet-nurse , because he ’s one of the most likeable characters in the handwriting , and we ’ve gotten somewhat attached to him by this point . ) And the ship ’s com - regalia is still broken at the end of the instalment . Jimmy Johnson take mastery , and his first order is to reinstate the V.R. modules . [ Thanks so much to Lukas for the heads up ]
