Okay, I finally chose Johnny :P Congratulations to... Noah Carson! :D This is a great cast, and I can't wait for the show to get started :)

As for the pilot... here's a runthrough I came up with.

''Emma Fulley sneaks out of her 16th century house, against the wishes of her mother, to try to find her father on the battlefield. She is pursued by Johnathan Freeman, her father's apprentice, who lives with the family. When the battle starts, Emma and Johnathan rush to a nearby cave to hide. When they step into the cave, however, they actually step into Neal Continuum's time machine. They're amazed at the insides and begin looking around, until it powers on and flings them both to the ground. The wak up to see Neal Continuum standing over them, demanding to know where they came from. Johnathan apologizes and rushes Emma outside, where they are completely overwhelmed by the presence of streets, cars, kids with strange outfits on their phones, etc. As Emma breaks into tears, Neal brings them back in to explain what happened. Although he doesn't quite understand, Johnathan demands that Neal take them back to their home. Neal responds that if he does, it could destroy the entire universe. He then tells them that they'll get used to their new homes and starts to kick them out, but Emma, still crying, begs him to help them and let them stay with him. He's reluctant, but eventually relents.''

''Johnathan and Emma, going by "Johnny" and "Em" to try and fit in, find themselves completely overwhelmed at their 21st century high school, even after hours of preparation from Neal (partially because he's about as used to the 21st century as they are). In her panic, Em is comforted by Alexis "Alex" Elliot, a women's rights activist-slash-tomboy. Johnny, meanwhile, ends up slipping out of school to ask Neal for more advice. When he arrives at the time machine, he finds that Neal disguised it as a normal house and left a note for them on the door explaining he'd be back soon. Johnny finds the TV, and although he's originally scared of it, he realizes that it shows normal 21st century teens interacting with each other, and studies it.''

''Back at school, Alex helps Em get used to the new school (Em claiming that she's from the faraway country of New Jersey). Em soon finds herself comfortable with it, although she's still not used to the school uniform, stating that her mother would hate it if she showed that much leg at home. Alex is unamused, saying that women should be able to wear and do anything they want. Em is shocked to find out that women are allowed to get the same careers as men, and Alex isn't impressed with her old-fashioned thoughts on it. Em thinks that Alex hates her now and tells Johnny about it- not that he's much help, since he's currently quoting TV lines. One of his quotes attracts Sherman Mann, a super-nerd, who says that its his favorite show. They walk off, talking about it, leaving Em on her own.''

''Em locks herself in the time machine/house, refusing to talk to Neal, Johnny, or Sherman. When Johnny tells her that Alex has come to visit, she reluctantly lets her in. Alex explains that she doesn't hate her, she just has her own opinions on some things and likes to be right. Em decides that that describes her too, and that they'll just have to find things they agree on- like Johnny and Sherman being weird. At the end of the episode, Neal asks Em and Johnny if they still want to go home, but Johnny answers that the 21st century is much better, and Em agrees.''

Seems kinda corny to me, but I think its fine. Like I told Matt, most of the things Johnny and Em learn would be in a montage immediately after the theme song (btw, I need a theme song). We would see him showing them pictures of cars, houses, etc. So while they would still be weirded out by some of this stuff, it wouldn't be as frightening as it was in the first scene in the 21st century.

I originally thought Brock, Karl, and Maria would appear in the pilot, but I really don't know what to do with them. On the other hand, I think Kimberly would have a minor role, appearing when Em goes into a panic at school, mocking her when she slips and falls.

I was also thinking that Neal Continuum's lookalike could be Robert Picardo :P
