d6a2afd33b Lt. Hobbes is sent into a VR wargame simulation where he is to terminate a renegade General who has taken control of the program. Lt. Hobbes volunteers to test the army&#39;s newest tool, a virtual reality training machine code named &quot;Harsh Realm.&quot; Once attached to the machine, Hobbes discovers that the VR world is controlled by the renegade soldier Omar Santiago. While Hobbes body remains in a coma, his mind lives on in the VR world, where he must join forces with an underground force in their attempt to overthrow Santiago. I vaguely remember this show when it was on television. I think I may have only seen the Pilot episode and then it got pulled soon thereafter. But when I saw copies on DVD at the library I had to get it and watch the rest of the episodes.<br/><br/>The show is about Lt. Hobbs (Scott Bairstow) who X-Files fans may remember from &quot;Miracle Man&quot; in season 1. He has entered into a war game virtual reality where he can not escape until he finds and kills the infamous Santagio who is played by one of my favorite actors Terry O&#39;Quinn. The most likable character in my opinion is Hobbs&#39; sidekick Mike Pinnochio played by D.B. Sweeney. Pinnochio represented mea viewer in trying to talk some sense into Hobbs and let him know just how annoying he can be but then also turning around and admitting that he is right when he is right.<br/><br/>Many stand alone episodes are very intriguing such&quot;Kein Ausgang&quot; where Hobbs and Pinnochio get stuck in a battle reenactment from World War II that repeats over and over again. Another great stand alone episode is seen in the final episode &quot;Camera Obscura&quot; about two feuding families in a post nuclear holocaust New York setting.<br/><br/>Many of the supporting actors are easily recognized from the X-Files and Millennium. All in all I loved this show and wish they would have been allowed to run the show for at least a 24 episode season so they could make a conclusion to the Santiago mythology arc that had been setup. I enjoyed this series more than anything I&#39;ve seen on TV since X Files. Maybe because the same people did it. I thought it well scripted, acted and produced with the limited budgets TV gets. For Sci-Fi it was really pretty damn good. To bad it died on the vine. Maybe some other cable network will pick it up and run with it. The way it was set up it was a bit like the old Twilight Zone or The Fugitive, where the over arching theme of the show remains the same from week to week but there are different adventures from week to week. There were a couple of character links and disassociations that didn&#39;t make sense. That was the only thing I noticed - but hey! It&#39;s TV
