Only one more episode of DLM to go, and then I will have seen every episode they ever made...
George and Rube were my favourites in season 1, but in season 2 I think it's Daisy. Oh I liked when Daisy tells George she's self-involved and always seems to be listening to a voice inside her head, and then we get the voice-over, "Am I". Hee!
And George knew about Ray's death, and Roxy knew and was covering up, right? But Rube doesn't found out? And so is that how gravlings are created, from deaths of evil people like Ray. And if so, how did George manage to get rid of Ray *confused*
And I ship Mason and Daisy. I bet that they were likely to get together in season 3. Damn

Date: 2006-07-24 06:50 pm (UTC)I think that's how they explained gravlings being created.
Yeah, they were pushing that relationship hard, but I'm sorry I'm a George/Mason kinda gal.

Date: 2006-07-24 07:56 pm (UTC)In the first season, to me, at least when they initially met, George seemed enamored of Mason. And in an interview that season Callum even thought they may go there with George and Mason, then in the second season he and Ellen both realized it wasn't going to happen.

Date: 2006-07-24 08:11 pm (UTC)Yeah. Season 2, although still better than alot of stuff on TV at the time, didn't thrill me solely because of that Ray storyline. WTF? That was dark. I never thought Mason was crazy until that storyline and then I thought, "Wow, those drugs did a number on him :D "

Date: 2006-07-24 07:06 pm (UTC)That's the point of that whole ep IMO. Rube's been telling them to live on the periphery for all these years, what he's saying is that it's impossible not to touch, not to feel, even though you're undead, you're still human and experience human desires and emotions.
But at the same time, you can't let said emotions get out of hand, because look what happens. MURDER! MAYHEM!
I don't necessarily think that ALL gravelings come about in this way, but it's mostly for thematic use. What I mean is, gravelings are probably born out of bad things, not necessarily in that way, but I suppose gravelings were once people too but have to spend the rest of their unlife in their horrible graveling form.
Ray's "graveling" just IMO represents what happens when you repress things, it comes back to bite you in this ass. George is able to "kill" said graveling because of her willingness to face her (their) fears.
Also in the commentary, or the featurette on gravelings, there's just a section on the Ray graveling, and how it differed from the rest.

Date: 2006-07-25 07:45 pm (UTC)I think I related to George less in season 2. I still really love her because well...George! But in season 1 she reminded me of my life so much, how you've finished education and you're stuck not knowing what to do next, and the jobs you find are all so dreary. I understand character development is good and neccessary, but season 2 saw her being big-time successful at Happy Time, and really becoming part of the whole corporate world. I related to her less, and Daisy become my favourite instead. Not that I relate to Daisy at all lol
There was a more ensemble feeling in season 2 as well, and I'm not sure if I prefer that or not. In season 1 there were heaps of scenes with Goerge having meaningful interaction with the other reapers, which I did miss. Whereas season 2 sees Rube doing his own thing, and Mason/Daisy getting seperate storylines. But those storylines were really gripping, so maybe it balances out. Maybe. I really want to watch season 1 again now. See George just starting out in that world, crying with Roxy over the confrontation with her parents, getting guidance from Rube etc *nostalgic* And I wonder why Roxy never gets much of a decent plot...

Date: 2006-07-27 02:19 pm (UTC)Daisy/Mason dynamic was so good, and I think that seemed like THE story arc.
I wonder if they would have dealt with Rube's story a little more in S3, because although you know what's going on..you don't really. Because Rube is so inward and lives on the "periphery", except he doesn't.
I'm sure Roxy would have a story, although she grows to love this family, you realize that in her covering for them, she's not as much a hardass bitch as they all think she is.
I really loved the finale though, it was..open ending but not at the same time. It did give you closure, but it also left us feeling that we wanted more. Plus it was just uber creepy (my birthday is Halloween!)

Date: 2006-07-27 02:32 pm (UTC)And I love Goerge and Delores together :D And the security guard meeting that George walks into, and starts mouthing off at. Hee!

Date: 2006-07-27 02:40 pm (UTC)SEVERAL TIMES. ROFLMAO.
I think they mention it in the commentaries, but they said something about Mason is just SUCH a fuck up, just when you think he can change, he won't, he'll just revert to what he was. He's not the type of character that grows or learns from his mistakes.

Date: 2006-07-25 04:39 am (UTC)I was irritated that they had that scene at George's reception when she comments on her dad and that guy hugging so long making it seem like dad was cheating on mom with a guy and then they turned around and gave him a cliche younger girlfriend.
My favorite scenes were Mason getting strip searched and when he did Jewel in the record store. I loved Jewel looking so different from Kaylee.
