Dead Like Me is pretty awesome. I think I actually found George more likable than Jaye. Okay, no, I did find George more likable than Jaye. Though I can't decide which show is better. Hmm.
Zoe: First rule of battle, little one. Don't ever let 'em know where you are. Mal: Whoo-hoo! I'm right here! I'm right here! You want some of me? Yeah, you do! Come on! Come on! Aaah! Whoo-hoo! Zoe: Of course, there are other schools of thought...

Craves Dead Like Me on dvd even more.
I've only seen the 4 Fox-run eps of Wonderfalls so far, but I already find Jaye more likeable than George.

Huh. I feel like George appreciates everything a lot more than Jaye does. I mean, she's got the whole death thing to help her. But Jaye is more...the words that come to mind are "abrasive" and "acerbic." Four or five episodes into DLM, I pretty much forgot how similar George was to Jaye. She also gets the benefits of voiceovers, which let us hear what she's learned about the world. Hm. I think George may have an unfair advantage over Jaye.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."
And, you know- dead. She's got the pity thing working for her. To accuratly gauge the two, you'd have to kill Jaye and see how she deals with it.
Of course, we are talking about Tim. Jaye's death may have been the planned season 2 arc.

well, George got on my nerves in the beginning with her unwillingness to deal with being a reaper. She kept acting like she was killing people.

Hey. New board.
Jaye's death may have been the planned season 2 arc.
Awww.... now I want it even MORE.

Totally. They'd be all "Dude, there are repurcussions for doing this wrong.", and she'd still be all "Dude, I don't wanna." Then cry for not doing it and there being repurcussions, like it was a surprise.
But I really grew to like her as she came to terms with things a little more. I ended the season will full out George appriciation.
I just have a bigger love for Jaye.

oh, me too. It was just hard going for a while. Of course, I think that being a reaper would be cool, so I have a slightly different perspective.

Also, one has to remember, George is an 18-yo slacker. She's not curious, she's not invested, she's not, well, anything. She's more of a slacker than Jaye is, who at least had the incentive to stick it out through an Ivy League education. George dropped out partway through her first semester, right?
So I accept that George would have a hard time adjusting, especially since Rube isn't much with the explanations.

There's an element of will that's almost entirely absent in George, whereas Jaye seems to have received her portion in addition to what she was naturally due. I feel a certain sympathy for George, but I wouldn't want to be around that level of wishy-washyness. Jaye, on the other hand, strikes me as fun to hang around with and snark on passers-by.
