Did you know
- TriviaLatnok is Hungarian for Visionary.
- GoofsWhen Kyle is fighting the cop at the party and he steals the baton, he drops it on the ground and stares down the cop. The cop never bends down to pick the baton up, but when he walks away it is in his hand.
- Quotes
Kyle: My birth was unconventional at best. My first memory was waking up in the forest. Like a newborn baby, I had no idea who I was or what was happening. My eyes weren't sure what they were seeing. Every sight, sound and feeling was unfamiliar. Every species is born with instincts that ultimately create a balance with nature. Every species except the one I was born into.
- Alternate versionsThere is an alternate version of the pilot episode on the DVD set with a different narration voice, with some additional or different scenes (at the beginning: Kyle naked in the woods/ the breakfast scene/ Nicole says goodbye to an autistic patient/ at the party: the policeman is threatening Kyles/ at the end: Lou can not find Kyle's file) and some scenes are gone (Kyle naked in the city/ Declan in Lori's bed). The alternate version is 30 seconds shorter than the original pilot and has no credits, neither at the beginning nor the end.

Featured review
Accessible, smart, entertaining, interesting, refreshing and inspiring pilot
Watching this pilot was a great and unexpected surprised. I never really paid attention to it until someone mentioned John Doe, the TV show, in an article about best cliffhangers. Then I discovered that the shows were actually quite similar.
The one thing that astonished me is that it's quite smart when the audience is the whole family. So it's quite accessible and that's a brilliant concept because these days some productions are just all black or all white. Kyle XY deals with very important topics like family issues, learning process, relationships The protagonist almost looks like a genius baby doing his first steps and we're here to witness his epic adventure. Moreover the acting was quite good, from the children to the adults. There were also some eye candy scenes that kids and teenagers should really like as they reminded me of films like American Pie. However I found a fighting one was over the top because the character who was involved wasn't supposed to do what he did. I like to compare it to The Matrix scene where Neo first have to learn kung fu before practicing it against Morpheus in the virtual dojo. But in the end what I really appreciated was the family vibe and how well the relationships were covered. After only a few minutes you should already care about all these interesting characters and I already want to learn more about them. Some arcs were also introduced and they should convince you to watch the other episodes because they bring new elements like mystery and attraction.
To sum things up it was a great way to introduce us to the show. The last time I was so gladly surprised was probably after watching Eureka's pilot. It felt so refreshing and the story seems quite inspiring. It's really nice to see that some talented people have managed to create such a brilliant production.
