Not to bring a dead post back up or anything, but its deserved. Finally has become available through "channels". And just got to see it and I must say this was great. It wasn't just about seeing it all over again. It felt very much like the original series. IT was really very well done. And I hope the DVD sales do great. Personally I can't wait till I get in "physically" in my hands via my pre-order from amazon!

Diasy wasn't too bad considering the change in actress, I also noticed the Milie character image has changed once again, and the people who played the "younger" actress were different also.

Awesomeness, great ending.

and the people who played the "younger" actress were different also.

are you saying that Reggie was someone else? because its not a different actress...she just grew up....

edit: ahhh....or do you mean the little kid George that we see occasionally in the show...

well that would make sense...considering i'm sure that's kid's grown up a lot too...and to still show a little kid they'd need someone else who's still actually a really little kid...

Yeah thats exactly what I meant. I didn't really think about those little kids growing up to.

I would however wonder before I thought they dropped the "real life" apprence factor of Lass in the series.

First they showed these crack lookin people, then they took that away and showed a preety girl. And they changed that girl again in this one.

Other than those quirks the movie was great, and its ratings are preety damn good so far on imdb, even if its only 30 reviews = 9.6 :-D

I'm not sure Rappy. The ending was very weird imo. bloody loved the movie as a whole though.

I felt very opposite, it was missing alot that made the show awesome i.e Daisy didn't like the recast and Desmond from lost he was awfully miscast. Also the fact Reggie found out that George was still around was weird but I suppose in that context we had to have something there with it being the only movie.

I see what you mean, I'd never seen any of Dead Like Me before watching the movie (am I right in thinking there were some kind of TV shows? No idea to be honest with you) and I found it weird how the real world could still interact with the reapers. I agree with the Desmond from Lost miscast, he just didn't fit in with the rest of the cast/storyline.

If you have never seen the series then you you won't probably agree with me fully, you need to get on that. Watch seasons 1 and 2 and then you'll get the movie.

I'll get to it eventually, so swamped with TV shows at the moment it's unbelievable!

I didn't much like the new Daisy. I thought Cameron Kane (Desmond) was fine, however. He played the self-involved pompous ass very well. Very hateable.

The first little bit was kind of disappointing to me, with all the reapers falling under Kane's spell to disregard the rules for their job. And the fact that Kane was evilly playing 'god' with lives to try to see if he could cause a huge deathtoll somewhere in the world made the time when the reapers came to their senses and get retribution enjoyable. But I think that was deliberately done so to feel a bit aghast as the reapers started playing Kane's way and going astray, and it played well into when things changed around for the reapers.

The only part that really annoyed me was the sudden loss of the reaper rule where if you tried to tell the living about your real past life, the memories erased themselves from your mind. This was pretty fundamental in the first season and sets up George's isolation. However, it was dropped like a hot potato in the movie as George talked to her sister and told her all about the past.

I have my suspicion that Kane "got rid of" Rube, much like Roxy and friends "got rid of" Kane, and that Kane set fire to Der Waffle Haus as part of transitioning the reapers to his charge and purposes.

Anyhow, now that I have seen the movie, I can rate the thread. I would say 4/5 (the series was more like a 5/5 for me).

P.S. Daaaang. Lots of spoiler tags. :ermm:

this is the one part of the movie that really bothered me...and still does...

i enjoyed it for what it was...but this issue bugs the hell out of me...

That's how I felt pretty much most of the time watching it :( I would give it a 3 at most...it's sad because I adored the series after the Christmas period looking forward to this!

Saw this a few day's ago.

Another 1/5 out of me.

Wait wait maybe 2/5. Because I just recalled Dragon Wars.

Movies of late are quite bad. They really screwed up this film though. The series was a 4/5 for me. Oh how I miss new espodies of Dexter.

    • That is the natural course for regulations. First to protect the consumer. Then to protect the business/industry from upstart competition. There are countless examples across history.
    • I have never been a huge fan of libre, it feels really good but exactly when you need an advance feature for data wrangling it falls short every time or has bugs. I am all for euro office if they can deliver a good and usable alternative to MS office with backing of govt function.
    • Go on, I'll bite. How does windows (nice comment on an 'article' which doesn't actually involve it ) lock users out of their data then? Been using it since 3.1 back in 92 and not once have I been locked out of my data? Perhaps you mean Bitlocker? In which case the average user (who doesn't mess about) will have been forced to use a MSA, and in which case the recovery key would have been saved to said account..... If the user did happen to bodge around and not use an MSA then Bitlocker wouldn't have become live (as it cannot without a safe place to store the key) I want to point out Bitlocker and MSA are not connected and you can of course force it on without a safe place to store the key, but you do that with your eyes open. So your standard consumer who knows no better sets up an MSA, gets bitlocker and a recovery key stored off box, with a route to reset their password. All of this notwithstanding the fact, if your data is important, you back it up, no ifs, no buts, no-ones responsibility other than your own. Important data lives in at least two locations, one of which is offline and recovery is tested, otherwise that data wasn't really that important. Disks, fail, laptops get lost, phones end up down the toilet, tablets get stolen, if your only copy of data is on a single device you're doing it wrong.
    • Clearly that feature isn't for us. It's for the ad spam marketers so they can more directly target us about going to places we might want to go again...but without understanding context clues. Like for the flight someone took for a friend's funeral. We want to be reminded of that every time we open an app, a browser, or email, right? Right, Siri?
    • Is your Apple Watch supported? Check the watchOS 27 compatibility list by Aditya Tiwari Apple kicked off WWDC 2026 with a ton of announcements, mostly centered around Apple Intelligence improvements, the Siri AI, and Liquid Glass updates. However, there is a lot of other stuff that couldn't catch the limelight. Let's talk about watchOS 27 and which models are supported by the newest operating system. According to the Cupertino giant, watchOS 27 will be supported on the following Apple Watch models when it arrives later this year: Apple Watch Ultra 3 Apple Watch Series 11 Apple Watch SE 3 Apple Watch Series 10 Apple Watch Ultra 2 It's a stark contrast with last year's watchOS 26 update, which had almost a dozen Apple Watch models in its list of supported devices. Apple supported models all the way back to Apple Watch Series 6. That said, if you own one of the five models, you'll need an iPhone 11 (or later) with iOS 27 to install the latest update. Yes, Apple has shown some extra love to the iPhone 11, and it old horse supports the iOS 27 update. watchOS 27 beta 1 is now available for developers and interested power users through the Apple Developer Program. So, if you're among those who like to play with fire, you can download it to your supported Apple Watch. Otherwise, the public beta for watchOS 27 will be available next month. The freshly baked Apple Watch update comes with Siri AI - an advanced, fully conversational version of Siri powered by Apple Intelligence due for later this year. A new dynamic app grid features icons for five Siri-suggested apps. You can use a new tap gesture to open a widget in the Smart Stack, and a new Find My app finally clears the mess of Find Devices, Find Items, and Find People on Apple Watch. Workout Buddy can run without an iPhone nearby and offers new insights based on data, including your progress for pace, distance, and workout duration. Apple improved its motion tracking algorithms to measure the distance of indoor treadmill runs and walks more precisely. Speaking of other changes, the music playback on watchOS 27 starts faster and you can create custom passes for any membership or card that uses a QR code or barcode, then easily access them in the Wallet app or pin in the Smart Stack.
