Ok.... I'll start us off.

"Rewind" from Syfy. Actually the Pilot aired but beyond that it was cancelled.

Parallels. For obvious reasons.

Re: Favourite Unaired Pilots and why you like them.

There was some stuff in the Unaired Pilot of "The Tomorrow People" that was cut in the Series Premiere which I think was a shame and is why I like the Pilot.

The Actor who played Kevin was better in the Pilot but I have no idea what reason there was for the recasting.

During the Bus Bullying Scene Kevin Teleports to the Sea and back in panic and throws a Live Octopus that clung to him on the Bully to escape.
This was funny even if the Octopus looked a little fake.
Te Series Premiere swapped that Prop for Seaweed which although looked a little better visually ended up losing the humour.

Another thing ommitted was a Scene with the Experimental Tech that explained it had been bought from the Former USSR's version of MK Ultra after the collapse of the Soviet Union.
It's a shame it was cut out as I liked that part.

I also thought Adam was more of an effective Mentor/Big Brother figure in the Pilot wheras in the Final Episode 1 version that was watered down somewhat.
Maybe to make him more relatable? Give his Character room for growth?
I guess I just liked him more as a Mentor Figure. smile

There are a few other differences but I liked these the most.

Obviously the Season Premiere added extra content and some improvements but.... Yeah.

Never watched the unaired 90s TP pilot. I thought the aired episode was quite awesome, but will have to give this a watch...
