I wish my eye thing allowed me to read this whole thread. That car crash is strange. It's disturbing, but doesn't give an impression to me of a powerful, threatening supernatural being, but of a frail one. I know she survives and it was all a trick, and Vicki's supposed to be shocked by Ang's survival, but the biggest impression in my mind afterward would be all the damage to Angelique.
I'm not getting into the spirit of it, probably. This is in keeping with classic ghost stories I suppose. A few more such encounters like this would have followed, building up the message that Ang is indestructible each time.
The owners of the pilot probably want to wait a certain number of years to build up the mystique. They might not want it reduced to being some obscure DVD extra, on a par with outtakes and deleted scenes. There's also just a basic business assumption that you don't give anything away. When in doubt, play it safe.
