All true. But translating a script form page to screen doesn't necessarily turn out the way everyone who read it might have envisioned. Not having seen the pilot and not being able to read their minds, it's impossible to know what the WB's specific problems were. But perhaps some of the characters didn't appear as "pretty" as the WB would have liked, be it because of the way they were shot, dressed, or made up. (The WB has frequently been criticized for taking a page from the soap opera handbook where a character can escape from a harrowing fire with every hair in place and not so much as a smudge on his/her face. And believe it or not I've read where the WB has actually called for reshoots on some of its series when characters didn't originally look the way they felt those characters should be projected to the audience.) Or perhaps the WB thought Todd McIntosh's horror make up was too grotesque and gory. It's even possible that they didn't like the way the sets/locations were dressed and lit. These are all things that the script and casting would not have necessarily indicated - they would have only been visable in the finished product.
