Sci-Fi Pilots: Commission Or Dump How Well Did You Predict?

A couple of months back we asked you which of this year’s US telefantasy pilots you would green light, and which ones you didn’t want to see make it to series. Below are the res♊ults &💖ndash; in order– that we posted in March based on your votes. Now that all the networks have made their fall season announcements (or in the case of the cable channels, their 2014 announcements) we can see how well your views chimed with the network bosses’ views.

– series commissioned (now called Marvel’s Agents Of SHIELD)
2 – series commissioned
3 – series commissioned (see trailer below)
4 – series commissioned
5 – dumped
6 – series commissioned
7 – series commissioned (now called Almost Human )
8 – series commissioned (now called The 100 )
9 – series commissioned (see trailer below)
10 – dumped (presumably)
11 – series commissioned
12 – series commissioned
13 – dumped
14 – dumped
15 – dumped

So, The Sixth Gun will be your biggest disappointment, while The Originals is your lea꧋st-wanted that you’re going to get anyway (we quite liked the pilot, to be honest).

Because we haven’t posted it anywhere else here’s the typically subtle trailer for the Michael Bay-produced The Last Ship . It looks like it started out as a remake of Survivors until Bay sไaid, “You kn𝕴ow what this show needs? Battleships! Explosions! People who GLARE!”

Another trailer we’re doing the mop-up on is CBS’s Chuck 2.0 … sorry, Intelligence :

It’s also worth pointing out that ♓ ( ) will be in the ꦬfall schedules as well, but that kinda by-passed the pilot process and was originally supposed to be a summer mini series.
