7 | The pilot shows the event when a nameless man enters the house of a drinking lounge-about. What happens next is chaos and violence, coupled with the killer's dark desire and the poor man's fight to survive. Add a picture of a mysterious girl and a granola bar to the mix, and you've got a four minute short that was originally written to introduce an entire series. |

12 | !!The pilot, first appearing March 1, 2010, provides examples of: |
13 | %%* AlmostDeadGuy: After the blackout. |
14 | * AsYouKnow: Subverted. It seems the killer is about to tell the audience and the man why he's come to the house, but then simply drops the subject and then [[spoiler: kills him. Brutally.]] |
15 | * BookEnds: The pilot begins and ends with the sunny street. |
16 | * CurbStompBattle: Not right away, but it becomes quickly apparent that the killer is gonna walk out satisfied. |
17 | * DavidVersusGoliath: The killer is not a big guy. The slob is quite large. |
18 | %%* FightScene: Basically the whole thing. |
19 | * FollowTheLeader: The pilot makes it look almost Dexter-ish, but later episodes prove otherwise. |
20 | * ForkFencing: The slob pulls a steak knife out of a drawer when the fight makes its way into the kitchen. |
21 | * ImprovisedWeapon: When the killer finds himself against an armed man, he uses [[spoiler:a granola bar]] with deadly results. |
22 | * NamelessNarrative: No names are given for either the killer, the slob, or the [[spoiler: woman in the photo]] |
23 | %%* NeverBringAKnifeToAFistFight: Yeah, that knife isn't gonna help. |
24 | %%* PayEvilUntoEvil: Seems to be the backstory, but we?re never explicitly told. |
25 | * SharpDressedMan: Compare the killer's attire to the slob. It may not be a suit and tie, but it's certainly nicer. |
26 | * SoundtrackDissonance: The radio plays in the house, and the final song puts an eerie look to the final moments of the fight. |
27 | %%* VillainProtagonist: Yeah. |
