Virtuality is the title of a series pilot written by Ronald D. Moore and produced by the FOX Network.[1] Moore co-wrote the script with Michael Taylor. The two-hour pilot episode, directed by Peter Berg, aired as a movie, June 26, 2009.[1][2]
Plot
The story is set aboard the Phaeton, Earth's first starship, on a ten-year journey to explore the nearby Epsilon Eridani star system. In order to help the crew endure the long mission, a system of virtual reality modules are installed aboard the ship.[1] These modules allow the crew to assume various identities and enjoy a variety of adventures.[1] The crew's experiences are broadcast back to Earth as the reality television program The Edge of Never.[1]
The series will feature a gay relationship.[3]
The pilot ends with honors for Nora O'Brien, an NBC Universal executive, who died of a brain aneurysm while she was on location with the series Parenthood.[4]

...Peter Berg is directing. It's got a gay relationship that is as dimensional and honest as anything I've ever seen portrayed on television right now.
