Enter The Labyrinth

Coo, VR.5 is a weird bunny. All striking visual imagery, and splintered storylines. It's beautifully put together, although at times it doesn't quite work. Teething troubles, probably. It's a high concept idea, with beautiful foreshadowing of storylines to come - but of course those storylines never got to happen. The show was cancelled after thirteen episodes, and none of those ideas or concepts ever got to lead anywhere. It was one of many victims of a particularly unpleasant and unimaginative cutting knife back in the nineties. I was quite distraught at the time, though I suppose I should be glad in retrospect. If VR.5 had continued, Tony Head wouldn't have been available to play Giles. I wonder who we'd have ended up with instead?!
