What Vortex said. I'm completely unsympathetic to Abby right now. Maybe I missed some stuff at the beginning, but it sounded like she'd made no effort to keep in touch with Zoe. Why should she be able to waltz right in and whisk her away? And to think Jack wouldn't object?
I miss Oz. He'd get it. He wouldn't say anything, but he'd get it.

I'm on the not liking Abby much too train as well. (Plus, Zoe's underage, so shouldn't they have some kind of custody agreement? Not just, "hey, I'm taking her now.")

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It's been a very long time since we've seen the Jack that left his daughter in a jail cell. I'm willing to grant that he may have been quite sucktabulous, and in a way you wouldn't expect a year to change.
But it's certainly not fresh in our minds.
And, like mentioned above, it might suck to be married to a cop/doctor/whatever, but there's a difference between doing what the job requires and ditching the family to hide in work. Carping spouses (I do think I've seen it both ways round) who don't get that are hard to relate to.

Yeah, I had big issues with the A plot in this one. We ended up re shooting the ending of this episode. The first ending just had us in a room watching the storm and fixing it with switches and knobs. And then the network said "That sucks. Throw Colin in front of a bunch of wind machines for a bit." I'm so glad these two eps are over.
Yeah I ended up looping a lot of stuff in this one. And the looping in Vancouver is done from the back of a van - which is brutal. So I expect a lot of the looping to be obvious until Episode 6.
Thank God that next ep is from Johanna Stokes. She's great and it's - well that would give away too much. But I like it. I want to say so much about the sh*tstorm of behind the scenes stuff but it would spoil.
I'll tell you after the next couple of eps air. Suffice to say it's a lot of fun to read the comments right now.

I can't lie--that was pretty funny.

For those who are unscrupulous about this sort of thing, Pushing Daisies pilot has been leaked and is out there. Not that I have already watched it or anything. Nope.
Of course not! And you wouldn't have found it TOTALLY ADORABLE, right?

Of course not. And Lee Pace is totally not hot like burning and I didn't nearly melt into a puddle of goo several times during the episode.

And you wouldn't have had a fondness for Chi McBride from his Boston Public days and found him even more entertaining here.

I really, really liked it. Lee Pace is all kinds of adorable. the only thing that kinda bugged me was VO guy, but i'll get used to it. i just hope this isn't too quirky for freakin' mainstream America because i'd really like to see a show like this get a shot at more that 4-13 episodes.

But it's Jim Dale of Harry Potter fame! I enjoyed the fairy-tale narration for the most part since I heart fairy-tale narration in general, although some of it was needlessly quirky. I hope that doesn't drive away mainstream America either.
