Jamie writes in about Pioneer One, “A drama series with a sci-fi bent, made independently and distributed online. It gained some notoriety for being the first ‘TV show’ to be distributed through BitTorrent via VODO.net and has thus far been funded entirely by donations from its viewers. If you’re looking for breakneck action and glitzy Hollywood polish, you probably won’t be into this show. This is truly ‘guerrilla television,’ kind of a new phenomenon made possible by the web. But there is a story being told here that will reward a viewer who invests in it. 5 full-length episodes have been released, with the finale of the first season to come by December.”
