  Get your global freak on
I watched the leaked pilot to Global Frequency this morning, as referred by the almighty KFM. I must admit, it's pretty spiffy.

The concept is that you have the bad-ass Miranda Zero, who knows a bunch of dirty secrets about stuff, and she's created this guerilla network of super-spies to beat off the unpleasant stuff that nobody knows about (the pilot involved an ex-CCCP psychic bomb). The trick is that these super-spies that she's recruited are really ordinary people, scattered all over the world, communicating through cell phones. Kind of a 5-minutes into the future sci-fi meets Mission Impossible meets The X-Files sort of thing.

Either way, I thought the pilot was quite excellent, and I highly encourage you downloading and watching it. As far as I can tell, there's probably going to be a Save GF movement showing up at some point, probably with internet petitions, all trying to get this show on the air. It'll be difficult--this isn't Firefly or Family Guy, which had the backing of either media darlings or DVD sales to keep them going--but if Warner Bros. has some sense, and if the movement is big and vocal enough, it just could work. I really hope it does.
