Wasn't Nurse Hathaway supposed to die or be rendered vegetative from her nasty overdose in the ER pilot?
Yep.
Wash: Mal, your dead army buddy's on the bridge! Zoe: He ain't dead. Wash: Oh.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Damn. Andy spent too much of his life around bullets. He got shot, his son and wife died from gunshot wounds....

Being Andy's friend, partner, lover, dry-cleaner is hazardous to your health. I love that character but if he was a person? I'd cross the street to avoid him till the book comes out.

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

He should start dating Jessica Fletcher.

wrod. Of course, when they meet he wouldn't like her and call her a "pissy New England bitch"

Weren't Hill and Renko supposed to be dead, not just badly injured, at the end of the Hill Street Blues pilot?

Kathy, iirc, at least one was supposed to die, yeah. But I'm glad they didn't...their bickering was funny.

Jack on Lost (not originally designed as a regular either, IIRC). Anyone else of interest pulled this off? Especially as quickly as Matthew Fox?
Not to be pedantic, but I'm not sure this was Fox's doing. I think I remember reading that the early producers just axed the idea of offing the main character, not necessarily MF. (Unless I'm making that up).

Which would mean that Andy would eventually wind up falling in love and marrying her.
