Trivia:

After viewing the pilot, executives at the WB television channel decided not to put the series into production and it was shelved. The pilot only saw the light of day when it was "leaked" onto the Internet and distributed using the Bittorrent protocol (incidentally the first time an unaired pilot television program was released to the public in this way). Despite campaigning from fans, the WB stuck by the decision to pass on the series.

Everything good goes away

I have one question. Why do TV networks let something as good as this pass them by? The pilot was never aired, but it leaked out on the internet somehow and are know spreading like a wildfire. Ironically it seems that this alone can actually save the series. The response has been so massive I don't see how they can ignore it.

I found the Global Frequency pilot by chance and only watched it because I've read the comics (Warren Ellis) by the same name which I liked a lot. It is seldom you come across something like this only to hear that the bulk heads in the media industry can't recognize a goldmine when they see one. Get the word out there. This is good stuff.
