Premise of the Show from SHO.com

"Georgia 'George' Lass (ELLEN MUTH) is a young college drop-out who has no job skills and seems unable to take an interest in anything, including her own life. She cultivates an air of cynicism that infuriates her mother, baffles her father, and isolates her younger sister. George is about to get a wake-up call.

With her mother Joy (CYNTHIA STEVENSON) insisting that she get a job, George applies to a temp agency that sends her out as a file clerk. Her lunch break - and her life - are cut short when a toilet seat from the MIR space station drives her into the pavement. George does not realize that she is dead until Rube (MANDY PATINKIN), the kindly leader of a team of grim reapers, points out her remains. Rube takes George under his wing and introduces her to the other members of his undead group: Mason (CALLUM BLUE), Roxy (JASMINE GUY) and Betty (REBECCA GAYHEART).

The members of Rube's team of reapers are all, like George, people who died with unresolved issues. They still have lessons to learn that - for one reason or another - they failed to learn in life. They move about the Pacific Northwest in the full light of day. They walk the city streets and eat at all-night diners, just like anyone else. They have to find somewhere to live, cook, eat and do their laundry. They look just like everyone else but as grim reapers they appear physically different to the living than they did when they were alive.

What George experiences beyond death is the focus of this darkly comedic series. It takes a slightly twisted look at life and at one possible version of life after life. What if death is not the end? What if it is not even an escape from the issues that plagued us? What if it is not a way to avoid accountability, but an opportunity to accept responsibility? What if it is a wake-up call?"

First post on this thread but I've been lurking quite a bit. I was waiting to catch up on season 2 to post. I still have two episodes to watch though.

And I vote C, I think George really needs to get laid. lol

Hey all!

Even if I did make the poll, I'll answer the question. A for me, because there are so many theories that I'd love to at least get some more hints. And D, for the same reason as Bent

So I was thinking about it today, and something cool I'd like to see them do after that last episode is have a reaper from somewhere else, or a different division or something, that was famous in his or her previous life. Like a famous musician/actor, it doesn't have to be someone real like Elvis or Jim Morrison or something, it can be a famous person they make up like Kyle Lowerdeck (assuming he's not really famous because honestly, I'd never heard of him til now.) But it'd be neat to see that everyone can be a reaper, and reapers are equal oppourtunity you know?

Hey everyone!

The other day I was able to see the Pilot epidode of Dead Like Me and I adored it, really I think it's one of the best shows out there! But I have no way of seeing more episodes for now because I'm from Europe and the DVD hasn't come out here (and don't think it will anytime soon) but I just wanted to say that I loved the pilot and hopefully one day I will be able to see more

[Nab]

Welcome Mia! Hopefully, you'll be able to see the show soon. Maybe download some episodes?

Bent-famous reapers? I love that idea! Daisy and Rube have both meantioned that they've reaped famous people, so it would be cool to actually see a famous reaper or at least hear about one.


Also, updated the first post with info about other DLM threads on FF.

Hey, thanks for the welcome

Sadly my internet conection is not very fast and I don't know if I will be able to download it... but I will surely try... I MUST see more of it!

[Sir Fireboard]

I didn't know there was a fan list. Can I be added please?

As for the poll question, I chose: A. Finding out about Rube's past. Rube interests me alot, and I think there are so many directions they could go with his past. I've only seen last week's episode and the second one of this season, so I don't know if they've gone into this (I haven't gotten around to *ahem* 'acquiring' the eps yet, and I'm trying to go spoiler free), but I noticed when I was watching the pilot yesterday, that he was still wearing his wedding ring. Considering he's been dead for a long time, and the fact that when you become a reaper, you're supposed to cut ties with your old life, I find that fascinating.

Of course if they've already gone into this, then you can just ignore my ramblings

Hey Mia I haven't seen you at the Sarkney thread lately

Hey! It's good to see you... I know I have been a bad girl and haven't posted in awhile... but with the whole hating season 3 thing and now David being a recurring character I have been kind of towards Alias lately... but I will go back After all I still love Sarkney!

Added you.

You bring up an interesting point about Rube. I've also noticed that he still wears a wedding ring. Is MP married? That might just be his wedding ring and he doesn't want to take it off, so the DLM gang let him wear it to get us talking. But, I really think that Rube just doesn't want to let go of his past and wearing his ring (and I'm pretty sure that teddy bear) are reminders of his wife and little girl, Rosie, whom he tried to send money.
