Never to Air

Atleast I got the pilot. But I sure would have liked to see more of the show.

I am a huge fan of the books and I was equally as thrilled when I found out that they were turning the series into a show. I was thinking along the lines of how great Roswell turned out, which started as a book series as well. However as time went on and I started finding out the changes they were making and who was playing the lead, I began to dread the premiere. The cancellation of the show only proves that there is a kind and just God that doesn't like to see top notch material get turned into commercialized drivel. Jerry Bruckheimer and c/o managed to turn something that was completely original and cool into another mindless CSI meets Alias clone. And I am not alone in my opinion, almost every Fearless fan will tell you that they hated what the show had become. I don't understand why they felt they needed to change the characters and the plot. If it was an attempt to reach an older audience then their first mistake was placing it on the WB aka Teen Drama central. Fearless if done right can become an amazing show that would definitely be on par with early Buffy and first season Roswell. The books read like a script, there is nothing to change, all that's needed is someone who is a fan of the story. Not some producer who wants to replicate the success of Alias and Dark Angel and let's not forget that Fearless came out before both of those shows. There's also the importance of a good cast I'm sorry, RLC is great and all but as Gaia, no I don't think so, and it's not even about the hair thing. It's just that she really can't play her, the character of Gaia is far more complex than that and they need an actress that can portray the overlapping emotions that Gaia is constantly faced with. I'm sorry for the long rant but this has been building for awhile,I just want to say thank goodness for the television gods and that the next time the story of fearless falls into the hands of a producer I hope their far more capable.

I was actually looking forward to this show. They had a very good cast lined up so I thought it would have stood a fair chance. As for those other shows on the WB that were cancelled too soon, I have to say that Glory Days was one of my favorite shwos on the WB. They finally made a show that wasn't just about the whoel teen drama thing and I loved it. Never really got into Birds of Prey and never happened to catch Black Sash (although I heard some great things about it) And I absoluely loved this years Tarzan. I have to admit that the storyline was a little lacking at times, but Travis Fimmel and Sarah Wayne Callies had such great chemistry and they made the show so amazing. I'm just really sick of tv stations cancelling shows before they fully develop a following. It seems like the WB and Fox are the two stations that do that the most and It always happens to be the shows that I fall in love with

I live in Australia, so even if "Fearless" had screened here, it would have been on at like, 1:30am on Tuesday nights or something. My VCR gets a good work-out at our house, what with have to tape Buffy, Angel, The West Wing, Dark Angel, Roswell, The X-Files, Scrubs, Arrested Development... even Ally McBeal eventually ended up in the late night time slot. Nevertheless, I'm disappointed it's never going to air... it would have been cool. Perhaps they should've gone for a different angle... instead of being in the FBI she could've been going to college or something...

And yet, they continue to cram the half assed reality shows down our throats.



But honeslty, the "Gene for fear"? There is no Fear Gene.

After seeing the pilot, I wasn't upset at all that this show never aired. It was terrible. It had some great actors in it. Rachel Leigh Cook and Eric Balfour are IMO, great actors but the pilot was terrible. For once, I think the networks did the right thing by pulling this mindless excuse for a television show.

I saw the pilot episode on youtube.com. I liked it. Rachel Leigh Cook was good as the lead, had the looks and the attitude. I searched for other episodes, and found out the show never took off, why?
I'm from the UK and can't think any show cancelled before it's even shown. It would have done well over here. It's similar to alias and 24, both shows were well received here. Several networks had the rights for the shows and they've been shown here continuously ever since.
Would it possible for a UK network to pick the show up, after all it worked with the muppets. We (brits) should lobby for it, I want to know what Gaia did during her teens, it was commented on a few times but never actually discussed. I would also like to see Rachael on british tv, she's a fine looking girl.
