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.
Cacophony. That's pretty. What's it mean?

[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.

I was fine when existence had no meaning. Meaninglessness in a universe that has no meaning -- that I get. But meaninglessness in a universe with
meaning? What does that mean?
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.

I can see that. The sarcasm seems forced in comparison to Tracie Thoms. The lack of eye contact with Jaye doesn't help either.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
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.

Jaye: \"Ironic...\"
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.

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.
"Dead Like Me" is better entertainment than we deserve.
This comment belongs in this thread for some reason I am too drunk to recall.

Tim Minear is associated with Wonderfalls, which is associated with Bryan Fuller, who is associated with Dead Like Me.
It's more on-topic than, say, muffalettas.

See? All it takes is one abstentious Polter-Cow with a voluminous memory to make me make sense. Soon, the fact that Lee Pace has played a character named Calpernia Addams will be clearly explicated as having something to do with linear accelerators.
Really. Stay tuned.
eta, two hours later: OK, maybe don't stay tuned. Anyway, not for obscure explications.
