Dead Like Me

“New York, New York – August 12, 2010 – Syfy today announced it has commissioned a scripted pilot from Bryan Fuller, creator of Dead Like Me and Pushing Daisies.

The show will be based upon the popular book The Lotus Caves by John Christopher, about colonists who rebel against the rigidity of their lunar colony by exploring beyond its proscribed boundaries and discovering a series of caves ruled by a super-intelligent, alien species.

Jim Grey (In Plain Sight, Pushing Daisies) will co-write the script with Fuller.”

Syfy Orders Pilot from ‘Pushing Daisies‘ and ‘Dead Like Me‘ Creator Bryan Fuller; Based on the Book ‘The Lotus Caves‘

But no spoilers – you’ll have to read the scripts yourself…..

I finally got around to reading 3 episodes written by Greg Lemieux – posted on his ‘Brimstone’ website – and I liked the way he’s tied together a number of open threads from the two seasons into a trilogy that tells some pretty good stories, develops the characters, and provides some badly needed closure. Even tho I respect the way the writers of the original series brought things to a close, I’m left feeling that there is still a lot of story left in the Waffle Haus reaper gang, in particular George and her family. Greg’s very well done work satisfies some of that need.  (Link to scripts inside)
