The short presentation for the pilot was at the '04 TarryTown Fest. Honestly, like you, I don't even recall what they showed, but it was only clips - and it was supposed to be the only time we'd ever get to see anything. However, the full pilot was screened at the '05 LA Fest - and that was supposed to be the only time it would ever be shown. But thankfully it's been shown at several more Fests. And I've always thought that's a very good thing because as many fans as possible should really get to see it.
I've only seen the pilot that one time in '05 in LA, which is why I'm relying more on Midnite's memory than my own when it comes to certain things so far as putting together this slideshow goes. But, of course, anyone else who's seen the pilot more than once or more recently is certainly more than free and actually encouraged to contribute as the slideshow makes its way through the pilot's script.
As for a blonde Vicki - and also a brunette Angelique - that's really setting things to the way they should have been in the days when the original DS was on. As I've mentioned before, back in those days it was routine on soaps for the victimized ingenues to all be blondes and for the victimizing vixens to all be brunettes. DS turned that convention on its head by, for the most part, having all its ingenues be brunettes and all its vixens be blondes.
