I saw this come through the reader some time ago and now that I have watched it I can't believe I'm not hearing more about it: The Remnants is a 12 minute web pilot about people living in a post-apocalyptic world. It stars tons of cool people (Ze Frank, Ernie Hudson, Justine Bateman, Enrico Colantoni). And it is REALLY funny. Because the single episode is so short, it can't really get into the mythos of this universe and there is a lot of setup that doesn't yet pay off. I would LOVE to see this get turned into something more down the road.
