Kirill

There's a lot of predestination paradox in this one and it ends where it begins kinda...and I don't want to give too much away, just that it does deal with communication signals sent to the past.

I'm not sure if some of the people giving this a bad review just skimmed through it quickly and didnt read the discription, but this does have a quite intresting story. If you couldnt piece what was there together, kirill is the main character who used to work for Nomi and something happened that made him a threat to Nomi and he was to be killed off to prevent any harm. He went into hiding where he developed a Quantem Entaglement Device that allowed him to send a signal several years back in time before the appocalyse. He found a journalist who he belived could prevent whatever destruction Nomi did in the next three years. I could be mising stuff, but thats as much as i could put together. All in all, i would very much like to see this put into a full length movie, but being two years old i doubt it.

This is obviously an acquired taste, but if you love true hard science fiction this is a great example of how to create mystery and suspense on a budget. This would be the perfect set of clues for a multi-user online game, or an interactive website. I've been dreaming about something like this for years, but it takes a lot of diverse skills or resources. Hope that they are able to use it. By the way, take a closer look at he web blog, and the rules, and Nomi.

The one 34-minute video here is a compilation of the 10 three-plus-minute episodes of an old U.K. Web series produced to promote Microsoft's products. The series was preceded by two blogs on Windows Live Spaces, which continued until the series' end in December 2008. Apart from promoting Windows Live, Silverlight, and a few other Microsoft products simply by being a mixed-media experience which aired on those services, it was also the pilot to a show which might have been produced in 2009 if this series had gotten the reaction its creators hoped it would. The full series would have begun airing in early 2009, so it doesn't look like KIRILL will be continued in any fashion.Blogs:
http://vivianvillars.spaces.live.com/ -- Vivienne Villars (for whom Kirill is searching).
http://quantumstu.spaces.live.com/ -- Stuart Patrick (Viv's blogging counterpart).It's unfortunate, because I think it showed a lot of promise, but it's easy to see that the show isn't as broadly accessible as so much of television. It keeps people guessing and thinking for themselves, rather than giving straight answers. I tend to enjoy that sort of thing, provided it isn't just a cheap way for the writers to string their viewers along without telling a story, like so much of television.If you actually watch this video and read all the blogs, things will come together much more nicely, and you might get a better idea of exactly what's happening and who Kirill is---but it isn't required, if you pay close enough attention to the show, especially the clips showing Vivienne or the occasional narrations by Quantum Stu. (Pause the video at times, if you must, to get a better look at the clues being given to you.)I would have been interested to see this develop into a full series, though I also realize it might have lost its edge at and intrigue at that point. A part of me hopes its appearance on Hulu means it still has a chance of being revived. It is just strange enough, just different enough, to capture my heart and my interest, as TALES FROM A PARALLEL UNIVERSE did some years ago. But when that miniseries was made a full series, it became LEXX, which didn't interest me nearly as much (and no longer had Eva Habermann to support it). It's always sad when a promising story doesn't continue in any way, but sometimes it's for the best and lets us appreciate the work itself more fully.

Thanks Brian. Glad I won't be wasting my time on this webisode kind of thing.
