Virtuality, the Ron Moore two-hour TV Movie (that may or may not become an actual series at some point) premieres on FOX on Saturday, June 26.  However, a twelve minute preview clip, or series of preview clips actually, have been released that give a good representation of what you're going to get to see in just over a week.  Although the likelihood of it becoming a full blown series seems dim, co-creator Michael Taylor says that all hope is…
