MYTHOLOGY
We learn that Harsh Realm went online on October 13, 1995.
QUOTES
Hobbes: Harsh Realm went online the morning of October 13th, 1995, the culmination of years of work and billions of dollars to create the defense department's ultimate crisis simulator. For the next six hours, it was a virtual duplicate of our world with ordinary people living ordinary lives, going to work, to school, to church. They didn't realize that the future had been predetermined, written in lines of digital code, that they had been created only to have their lives destroyed in one cataclysmic baptism of fire.
Hobbes: I'm not giving up.
Pinocchio: Good for you, Hobbes. Let me know when you're done not giving up.

★
Another classic episode from Harsh Realm, which means utterly boring and not remotely interesting and clearly not satisfying.
DIRECTING
Still, I think Jefery Levy did an awesome job with such a poor script. A sci-fi show like Harsh Realm deserves a comic-book type directing like he is offering.
THE END
Chris Carter wanted to create a hi-tech sci-fi series with a mix of Paths of Glory, Platoon and Blade Runner. It ended up being a mashup between Sniper: Special Ops, USS Indianapolis: Men of Courage and Battlestar Galactica.
VERDICT
I give it 1 out of 5. I'm finally done with watching this series. I'm logging off from Harsh Realm, my Dearest Readers.
