I am writing a pilot with a buddy. Here's the issue: It has some scenes with action sequences in them. As it stands, the script is only going to top out at 44-45 pages because he wants to scrap our original ending. He feels it should start off episode 2. My opinion is there won't be an episode 2 if there isn't an episode 1. The original ending gives closure to the episode. It would bring the pilot up to 53+ pages. but it is definitely not padding. I actually like the ending, as does my buddy. He wants to start off episode 2 with a bang.
I don't want the script tossed into the "No!" pile due to a perception it's too short. Any advice is appreciated.
