    VR-5 - Ahead of its TIME!!

    The show was JUST getting started, and I was hooked. The next thing I knew, it was OFF THE AIR!!! I liked it so much I found the soundtrack to the series. I found the concept to be fascinating and absolutely plausible. SHAME on the networks that kill so many great shows before their time. The heroine was just about to find the answers to many of her questions when it was taken off the air. I would love to find out what happened and will do so if I can locate the DVD of the show. Hopefully, it will have additional episodes that will even out what I have already seen. This has happened to Buffy, Angel, Wonderfalls, Dead Like Me, Witchblade, just to mention a few!

    Could have been Buffy before there was a (TV) Buffy

    This show had the dark side and very cool visual possibilities wide open to it and made a great start at exploring both in its one and only season. I was very curious to see if it, unlike Alias and the X-Files (both of which I like nevertheless), could credibly sustain the intrigue surrounding the conspiracy-like back-plot of her father, the "organization" and just who she was working for, but then, of course, it got cancelled. In many ways this show staked out territory that Buffy was eventually able to mine more deeply (three cheers for Anthony Stewart Head, another link between the two shows) and, handled right and backed hard by a caring network, it could have developed into something like.

    quality show

    When I first saw this show I was in sixth grade, and it scared me more than anything else I had ever scene. It was the pilot episode and the main character, Sydney, had just taken her mother into her dream world, where the mother freaked out. I had nothing better to do on a friday night, but I avoided the show until one night I had a sleep over and my two friends were channel surfing and they found the show, and we all loved the episode (Escape) soooo much we had sleep overs every friday until it was canceled just to see more.

    The idea of a dream world, and how everything you ever read/imagined/saw all of your subconscious could become true was to me "the coolest thing ever". When I finally got to see the whole series I began to wonder why it was pulled off the air, yes sometimes the plot was not the greatest, the episodes were sometimes VERY strange, but there was this amazing quality about it, it was original, it was real (character wise), and it explored something we all wonder about, our dreams.

    As time goes by I go back and watch the episodes over and over and they have become better. I now know and understand more of the references, ideas, relationships, it has a deepness A sixth grader could never fully understand no matter how much they loved the show. If you get a chance I believe you should give the show a try.

    Bring Back

    I was into the show, even being young at the time, and had to search hard to remember the title and where I could rewatch. I wish they would reboot or at least reshow this series. Definitely deserved more than 1 season

    Way ahead of its time

    This show was Lost decade before Lost and The Matrix several years before The Matrix. And it featured Anthony Stuart Head and Adam Baldwin years before Joss Whedon discovered them.

    It's one of the early examples of an incredibly strong sci-fi series being killed by the infamous Fox Friday night death time slot that would go onto to kill so many other great series too soon. One reviewer commented that it's not realistic. Well duh. Fortunately, realism isn't a major criteria for great television. I would love it if a DVD were released for this show, especially if some of the cast and crew could be reunited to put together some DVD extras.

      Sydney Bloom: I want to know how virtual reality works.

      Dr. Frank Morgan: Are we communicating right now?

      Sydney Bloom: I guess.

      Dr. Frank Morgan: But you can't see me and I can't see you, is that right?

      Sydney Bloom: Yeah.

      Dr. Frank Morgan: We're both having an experience that requires each of our minds to fill in the blank. Isn't that correct?

      Sydney Bloom: Yeah.

      Dr. Frank Morgan: Well, that's it. You just had a virtual experience.
