'The Cautionary Tale of Numero Cinco'
[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls and The Inside), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.
let's just say that it sounded like all the adults in Charlie Brown were playing the roles of Jaye, Aaron, Mahandra, Eric, Heidi-Ho, etc.
Hm. I have a feeling I didn't actually get the good one. Ah well. I followed along in the script. Which had some very amusing lines that got cut, unfortunately.
if you got the one that said (better audio), believe me, you did. the first one was awful. the only people you could really understand were Jaye, Heidi-Ho and Sharon because their voices tend to be higher pitched than anyone else. everyone else really did sound like the Charlie Brown adults.
the better audio one i can at least understand what they're saying. i may have to turn my speakers up all the way, but i can make out actual words.
The unaired pilot has made its way onto usenet - complete with "original" actors for Mahandra and Aaron. The latter of whom really doesn't fit.
Oh, I should get that and check it out. I've only seen pictures of the old Aaron and Mahandra, and I didn't think either of them looked right for the part. Bryan said the original Mahandra was a great actress but too serious for the role.
Bryan said the original Mahandra was a great actress but too serious for the role.
I can see that. The sarcasm seems forced in comparison to Tracie Thoms. The lack of eye contact with Jaye doesn't help either.
speaking of Aaron .. Lee Pace is just so Yummy.
Oh, god, yes. I just watched Soldier's Girl. I adore, adore him.
Aaron didn't get a lot of exposure in the aired episodes, but after seeing most of the unaired ones, goddamn, I fucking love him. He's so dryly hilarious.
Aaron really is a great character. I've only gotten to see two of the unaired, but I loved the character in them. I did also see the original pilot that had a different actor playing the role and all I can say is, good move changing actors. I just couldn't see anyone playing Aaron as well as Lee Pace.
"Dead Like Me" is better entertainment than we deserve.
This comment belongs in this thread for some reason I am too drunk to recall.
