message: I've just untangled some chronological problems with this talk page, due to (A) failure to use the new-topic (+) tab to start new discussions, and (B) failure to sign talk page postings with four tildes (----), which automatically add a timestamp (as well as a username/IP) to a posting. The main purpose of talk pages is to review and discuss article content as it is developed. It is very important that these discussions follow a chronological flow, as they often refer to one another or deal with the consequences of previous discussions. Furthermore, many editors assume that discussions only matter to the individuals involved, but for every active participant, there are many more who will be reading this months or even years from now to understand the reasons for existing content and avoid duplicating earlier discussions.
Editors should not change the content of others' talk-page postings, of course, but they can serve the community well by ensuring the discussions (A) follow proper talk-page order, (B) have headings when the topics change, and (C) have timestamped signatures to make it easier not only to follow the discussion in time, but also to know who to have offline discussions with if desired. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 15:57, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

message: I may be mistaken but Rube's room number is 41 and as him being the head of the group and the one receiving the ETD it puts him pretty close to the next step or in other words: he just one step short of The Answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything, meaning 42. It was just a random thought that occured to me and I'm still not done watching the show so it could be nonsense altogether.

:I dont remember any refs to 42! Matthew Fenton (contribs) 21:23, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  Edao, your speculation is what's known as original research, and it's a no-no at Wikipedia. That's a serious problem with much of the "Trivia" items in any article, especially for TV shows. Many editors have the mistaken idea that anything they notice that's even peripherally connected to the show is acceptable for inclusion. But at best, trivia sections should include information specifically about the show that doesn't fit well into the main flow of the article, and should always have a cited source. It's a challenge, I know, but we must keep working at it. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 21:52, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

message: According to the article, Betty died in 1926 and Rube died in 1927. However, Rube was there and already undead when Betty died, so this can't be correct... Michaelritchie200 12:16, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I cant remember Rube's death actually ever being mentioned.. thanks/Fenton, Matthew Lexic Dark 52278 Alpha 771 12:24, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Watching series one on DVD again. Betty got her ring in 1927 as well. I haven't seen anything about Rube's death at all, but it's apparently over eighty years. Michaelritchie200 14:33, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Mason tells George of a bet between Penny, himself, and other reapers to guess when Rube died, and George answers "1927" very confidently, then declares that Mason owes her money for winning the bet.EdenMaster 05:36, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

message: Do we really need this cat.? I decided against creating one when I created some of the articles due to there not being a lot - Someone has just created the category however, opinions? Matthew Fenton (talk) 17:38, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

message: First I thought the theme music was specifically written for the series, but recently I've heard it in use elsewhere as well. Could of course be that they simply used it from Dead like me, but if it isn't, I'd like to know who wrote it and what its title is! -- MiG 13:38, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The title sequence music is, as far as I know, original by Stewart Copeland. Some of the songs in the soundtrack are "Que Sera Sera" by Pink Martini (pilot, toward the end and through the credits); "Hell" by Squirrel Nut Zippers (pilot, funeral and bank); "Boom Boom Ba" by Metisse ("Reaping Havoc" as George goes through her "Mysterious and Reassuring" scrapbook). --Christopherlin 17:42, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: hey, you may have answerd this, but whats the name of the song that plays through the series, it first plays when rube gets goerges post it note in episode one. --Cody6 20:54, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

message: The reapers' regular hangout, Der Waffle Haus, is said in one episode to be at 782 Oak St., which is not an address in Seattle but there is such an address in both Victoria and Vancouver, BC.  [This is not correct; Oak Street in Vancouver starts in the 2100 block.]

message: I've removed the section as it was mostly unsourced (nearly all of it). Also Wikipedia isn't a TV guide, not that it means much as the show itself is over. I'm open to discussion if there's disagreement. Matthew 00:40, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
