Here's a working defintion of "pilot episode" in the context of television: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Pilot_Episode I like the idea of seeing a pilot as a precursor .. or a prototype. Was interesting to read that only a little over 25% of all tv pilots made move on to be come an actualy tv series.

Pilot was originally a seafaring term. A pilot is someone who navigates (guides) a ship when the captain is unfamilar with the area he is sailing in. When drilling a hole in wood, metal etc. you could drill a pilot hole FIRST..a pilot hole is a narrower hole that's a GUIDE to the bigger hole. So a pilot episode is the first episode that guides the viewer into the series. ??
