Camera Obscura is the ninth episode of the short-lived Fox science-fiction action series Harsh Realm. It was the sixth of six remaining episodes that were aired on the Fox affiliate fX after the series was abruptly cancelled.

[edit] Plot synopsis

In Harsh Realm's version of a post-apocalyptic New York City, warring families hire Hobbes (Scott Bairstow) and Pinocchio (D. B. Sweeney) as mercenaries. Their destinies appear to be controlled by a mad priest (Robert Knepper), a vault of gold, star-crossed lovers, acid rain and access to the Harsh Realm data stream.

[edit] Trivia

Camera obscura is Latin for "dark chamber."
