Three Inches

I'm sitting here right at this minute watching the pilot for Three Inches on SyFy. What the heck? I thought the last we heard, this was not being picked up.

Ok, found some more info. This pilot may be all we see of the show. How stupid! http://sciencefiction.com/2011/12/29/three-inches-pilot-airs-tonight-on-syfy/

What is "˜Three Inches'? That is a very good question. Evidence leads me to conclude this is a pilot for a show Syfy did not pick up. The network might change its stance, but that is unlikely because "˜Three Inches' has not been announced as a new show for Syfy, the show is not on the network's list of current or upcoming shows on the network's website, and the show is only on the network's schedule once in the next two months....

I honestly don't know what to make of this show. There is a lack of promotion from Syfy, and the stars, Reid and Marsters, do not have "˜Three Inches' listed on their IMDB profiles; in fact, both actors have moved on to other projects.
Why air the show? Well, it is the end of the year, and Syfy probably wants to get some use out of the pilot, so decided to fill two hours with "˜Three Inches.' While Syfy has great shows, the network's scheduling announcements can be baffling. The network is known for announcing shows before having filmed any episodes (prime example: "˜H.G.Wells') and for filming pilots and keeping them on the shelf (prime example: "˜Battlestar Galactica: Blood and Chrome'). I will likely watch "˜Three Inches' to see what it is and what it could have been.
"˜Three Inches' airs tonight, December 29, at 9pm EST on Syfy.

I was watching that last night too. I thought it was pretty good.

I have to be honest, I dislike it. I thought it had real potential, a bit slow at first, some annpying "This scene is suppose to be funny"-parts, then it picked up, but then the end blew it. The characters actions started to make no sense.

Tess was at first fine enough with kidnapping and basically selling a child to a unknown fate (as was the rest of the team) then Walter convinces her to join him and save the girl? And she does it? Then they go back to the team like everything's fine?(I would be terrified to go back to cold hearted kidnappers) And everyone else wants to take the fall for Walter and Tess?

And Troy, who turned out to be a good guy after all, is fine with that the people he works with are immoral, or lack the back bone to go to the police? I mean, correct me if I'm wrong, but he didn't tell them about the plan, did he?

The team think they kidnapped and sold a child. I think it was dealt with way too lightly. I would have liked to see some more regret and confusion and guilt from the team(or be shown that they're simply cold blooded bastards).

It's a shame too, because I wanted to see more, until Tess, who seemed to actually have a conscience in the end, talks Walter into going back, instead of going into hiding.
