beccaelizabethDead Like Me, last episode
Okay, the whole 'can see you as you were' thing would work better if there had been a single word all season about the un- part of the undead. Like un-George, and the way they look in videos or presumably photos (tho even in first season her that jumped photographed just the same as she looked to George).
Also, when Rube was looking for documents from before, his 'wanted' picture looked like the him we all see, and he was recognised by the kid that was helping him look, which was an error I couldnt be bothered to mention then, and then his daughter recognised him, which was entirely secondary to the other stupids of the moment.
But my point is, all through this year, they haven't mentioned the part where they don't look like them. They've had 'Millie' be a seperate person from George to someone who met them both, but we never got to see un-George (Millie).
So this whole thing doesn't work right from the start, because they seem to have scrapped that rule before.
"Paternal didn't turn out to be such a good gig."
I don't buy. I really don't.
And the reason she can't go back to her family is *she tried it and lost memories*
sheesh.
that pink dress doesn't look right with her skin tone. It makes her skin color sort of... flat.
eesh. the trouble with trying to make girly comments is I utterly lack the vocabulary, due to never having tried it before.
If this turns into a murder thing I'm going to be really annoyed. The deaths used to be quirky. Not so much quirky in murder.
Also, I didn't mention it then, but 'spontaneous human combustion' was a really really lame death.
Oh ick, screaming and serial killers. Crap. Not what belongs in this show. Death isn't the evil of this show, it is all about dealing with it emotionally, about death being part of the world and natural. Even the twisty unnatural kind, it just happens and you deal.
Also, this thing with the Reapers looking like their old selves. Why? Why would the natural laws that are set up to completely seperate them from their old lives break down for one day? Why Halloween? How long has it been that way? It doesn't *work*. It makes no sense at all. All wrong.
Mason drinking the dry ice was *funny*.
This is fucked up. This is not a horror show. Serial killer does not belong. And trying to make Halloween all about danger strangers? Cheap and dumb.
"If most people knew how many times they brushed by death, they'd probably stay inside for the rest of their lives."
see this is what I'm saying about the deterioration. Last time that sentiment was expressed it was *funny*. Like the show is supposed to be. This time it is straight up creep, and that isn't right.
"because I was painted with something darker"
eesh
okay, hurry up and end. This is rubbish.
This episode was pointless junk.
Even Rube's moment of mourning just didn't mean anything, dropped in like that.
Is really sad, that what I loved in first season is all gone by end of second.
