I love my Sci/Fi

From Wired.com:

Wired.com has a post about a slew of new Sci/Fi coming to Fox's fall line up. I love me some Sci/Fi!

Virtuality: Penned by Battlestar Galactica creator Ronald D. Moore, this show revolves around the plight of a crew aboard a 10-year mission to a distant solar system. The ship is equipped with virtual-reality equipment that lets them "travel" to other destinations -- which is fine until a mysterious bug infects the system. Moore has reportedly written the two-hour pilot; production is set to begin in July.

Fringe: Lost creator J.J. Abrams was reportedly given $10 million dollars to shoot a two-hour pilot episode for Fringe, a drama about an investigative unit specializing in otherworldly mysteries. Long-time Lost scribe Jeff Pinker recently signed on to run the show, which Abrams has described as a cross between The X-Files, Altered States and The Twilight Zone.

Dollhouse:
Joss Whedon's dystopian drama about killer assassins living in a futuristic lab will star Eliza Dushku (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Tru Calling). Whedon has described the show as "The Bourne Identity meets Stepford Wives meets boarding school meets Los Angeles neo-noir meets the Whedonverse." Shooting is slated to begin on the first of seven episodes at the end of April.

Boldly Going Nowhere: From the creators of the under-repped comedy team behind It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, this show follows the misadventures of a space crew -- sort of a campy take on Star Trek. Shooting for the pilot is set to begin in October.
