Oh YAY! I'm so glad people love PD -- I've been waiting for this to premiere all summer!
The adorability of Lee Pace really cannot be overstated.
If every vampire who said he was at the crucifixion was actually there, it would have been like Woodstock.

Boxed Set, Vol. IV: It's always suicide-mission this, save-the-planet that.
A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

Art Crawl!!!
I hope that ABC puts PD up On Demand and particularly On Demand in HD because if ever a show deserves HD - this one does.
Frankenbuddha - she disappears herself and we never know what happens to her. Henry gets arrested and taken away by the MPs. Stark proposes to Allison.
That's the gist, right?
(We don't hear Allison's response. . . perhaps next summer.)

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
An annual rant - why oh why, when the network's advertising the next episode of a new show, do they invariably say "an all-new episode"??? It's a new show - it's the first (or second) episode - how can it NOT be new?!?!?!?

You're looking for logic from network advertising?

hope springs eternal and all that ... I think it's mostly the endless repetitions for every show, constantly repeating that it's new. sigh.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The style of the PD voiceover feels very specific, but I can't attach it to a genre or anything else. Of what is it typical? Similar to early Desperate Housewives, perhaps, but that's not enough lineage.

It's a bit like Barry Lyndon - very dry and just-the-facts-please, but clearly being spoken with one eybrow raised.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
I thought Pushing Daisies was quirky, and charming in places (actually, all the places it was charming were Lee Pace-related places).
I like quirky, don't get me wrong. I cut my teeth on Twin Peaks. But I felt like PD was trying just a *leetle* too hard to be quirky. But, you know, that was just the premiere, so hopefully it'll ease up into a nice steady mellow quirky groove.
Also, the narrator needs to go. Just a personal preference of mine.
But goodness, Lee Pace was....kinda luminous, wasn't he? Which is good.
