What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

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?

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

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.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

I liked things about this episode, but the personal problems completely overwhelmed the admittedly lame main story. It was pretty much ice; Jo arguing; "boy, it's cold"; Jack and Abby arguing; snow; "oh, yeah, the deceased was a player"; Jack, Abby and Zoe arguing; Nathan and Allison arguing; dust storm; Jack and Abby arguing; not!Zelenka makes weird weather machines; high wind; "how does the weather guy know all this?"; Nathan and Allison arguing; not!Zelenka is inexplicably okay with his wife's affair; high wind; dramatic button pushing; "it's the weatherman"; and The End.

Did something happen to Jack's truck that I missed? Because this sure sounded like the freak tornado that destroyed his truck in Timeline A.

Henry knew something about Beverly's duplicity, because he saw her doing something on Kim's desk when he was obsessively going over the video of Kim's office.

On the other hand, my meteorology PhD friend is probably pumping his fist and yelling because you don't get to see many evil weathermen in science fiction. It's the physicists who get all the fun....

(Plus, Zoe's underage, so shouldn't they have some kind of custody agreement? Not just, "hey, I'm taking her now.")

they probably have a custody agreement, but it's based on Jack being in LA. Abby probably agreed to change it, but could ask the court to enforce the original agreement.

he wasn't really evil though, was he? more of a glory hound.
