gwynI've now finished watching all the DVDs of first season Dead Like Me. I did warm to George, eventually. By then end, especially when she was glaring suspiciously at the kid in the vet's office and trying to prevent him from reaping poor Murray's soul, I was actually liking her quite a lot.
But my heart belongs to... Delores! I love Delores with all my heart. She is hysterical. When she started talking about doing blow and the whole thing with the web cam respondents... I nearly died. And the bowling and the burro... I just adore her. Please tell me she's back in the show in second season. I may never fully recover from the Happy Time going away party, or Fingerman, either, for that matter.
I also love Roxy. I especially loved Roxy when she was getting along with Crystal. That was just... to die for. I still find the mom fascinating in how easy she is to both hate and love, and I think they've done an amazing job with her. Mason has grown on me, as well, though I could live without Daisy. And Rube... I don't know. I don't have the big Mandy Patinkin love many people do, so my jury is still out on him. Sometimes he seems just really mean and wicked, and other times, not so much. Mandy has always bothered me in that I get this feeling like he's got a more sinister personality hiding behind the Mr. Song and Dance thing, and there are a couple other actors everyone I knew loved growing up and I just hated them because I thought they were creepy and had a sinister evil side that no one clearly saw (I tell you, Andy Griffith is Satan -- he really is! everyone's just taken in by his avuncular pretense). There's always been something vaguely creepy to me about Mandy and I don't like his voice singing, so I have trouble warming to Rube sometimes. I liked him in the Cook episode, though. And with the milkman. So maybe there's hope.
But yeah, George is cool. Reggie I worry about. Loved the two gay guys story to ... um... death. Some eps are up, some down, but overall, I'm really wishing I could afford to buy the series. Definitely a keeper and weirdly, made me wish for the Wonderfalls DVDs to be here even more, so Jo, Christy, and I can make our vid. I hope the second season is as good as this one!
