After getting all excited over the Warren Ellis comic series Global Frequency, it turns out there's a pilot for a TV show, made in '05.  The pilot never got released, and the show never got made, but it has a weird phantom life out there in the torrents.  It's actually pretty good - some rough edges, but hey, it's a pilot.  The series, it had potential.  

I wonder what other dead pilots and cancelled-in-shooting series are out there, escaped from the vaults?  I wonder how many Facebook friends a dead pilot has before it has a chance to transition from larva to a full adult series before flying off into space on leaky radio waves?

I'm still finding the idea of a bunch of people connected together ad-hoc to be intoxicating.  Imagine what you could do (or prevent)?  And I'm seeing things like the Moldovan anti-government protest organized on Twitter and you know, maybe it's coming.  Where's my Aleph, that's what I wanna know?

Everything you've said about this makes me think of RP.

I had such fantasies about that mob. But you know me. Wrong time, wrong place.

Completely different reasons.

I'll have to get hold of it, but I've blown my comics budget on 1-6 of the Invisibles.

I have seen a script for the first episode of an Invisibles mini-series; sadly there is no evidence it was ever made.

I think that's part of why it hooked me.

I sometimes think we could still make a go of it, but I suspect we'll have to content ourselves with being confident we have the skillset and the balls to deal with the inevitable zombie apoccylipse.

I don't see how they could, any more than they could make a film of the Illuminatus! trilogy.

They got the man himself; as is evidenced here

What we lack is, er, the mission. But I was fully planning to use Twitter to organize my strike on Drax once the ice-cap melts. Oi! GCHC! Log this, you data-mining pansies!

Speaking of Zombies, did you get Pride and Prejudice and Zombies in the end? I thought it was quite good.

Heh, Zombie in German? De Zombie. Note capitalisation.

PPZ is on my wishlist, for sure. It is a truth universally acknowleged that a zombie without a grave is in need of a headshot...

Der Zombie? Das is der Noun, ja? All proper nouns are capitalized?
