Three Inches

[Geekyfanboy]

This is a 90 minute pilot that Syfy purchased, but it never made it to a series.  Syfy aired the pilot back on Dec. 29th and I missed it but Turning into Sci fi podcast mentioned it and I went searching for it and found it "online". Just finished watching it and I have to say it was really good. Could have made a fun series.

I understand why they didn't greenlight it because it's almost exactly like Syfy's Alphas and I guess the exes liked Alphas better.

If anyone wants to check it out let me know and I can put the file on my FTP site so you can download it.

From Wiki

On the same day that 26-year-old Walter Spackman confesses his love to the non-reciprocating Lily, he is struck by lightning. He awakens from a coma to discover that he has gained the ability to move objects with his mind up to a distance of three inches. The mysterious Troy Hamilton recruits Walter to join his team of superheroes and Walter joins in the hope of helping to improve the world.

Walter's first mission is to recover a package on behalf of an unknown client. The "package" turns out to be a young girl named Cassie, who has a set of superhuman abilities. Deeply troubled, Walter quits the team but returns to headquarters with teammate Watts, best friend Macklin and Cassie's sister to rescue the girl. The next day Troy tells Walter that he had no idea that the "package" was a person. Upon learning the truth, he counted on Walter's sense of decency to lead him to quit and, as a "disgruntled former employee", rescue Cassie while giving Troy the "plausible deniability" he needed. Walter rejoins the team.

I think the timing of when it went to pilot was it's ultimate downfall because of its similarity to Alphas.

The group dynamic on this pilot was pretty good.  They had several excellent actors with tons of genre experience so it was too bad it didn't go any further.
