I was poking around the intertron a couple of weeks ago, and discovered that Neil Gaiman's script for "Day of the Dead" had been published for sale. I'm on a pretty limited budget at the moment, but I figured I could spare $20 ($4.75 for the book, $15.25 for postage -- I KNOW, I KNOW). Of course, by the end of the pay cycle, I really felt like I was just $20 short of being comfortable, but by then the book had arrived, and to quote the philosopher Minogue, I wouldn't change a thing.
It's a really interesting read, especially if (like me) you groove on miniscule changes in dialogue. What, you mean normal people don't? Well, that's totally their loss. Anyway, it has footnotes marking changes between the completed script and the filmed version, mostly due to filming issues or JMS trimming dialogue (words I never, ever thought I'd have cause to use consecutively). The most interesting bit, to me, was the original version of the scene between Lennier and [character I won't name because![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
infiniteviking only just found out this ep exists and I don't want to spoil her].
