Okay, all I can say about Pushing Daisies right now is:
FLAIL! SHOW!
I'm all messed up over this show. I love Ned and Chuck (and Emerson), but Olive is breaking my heart.
FLAIL!
Love isn't brains, children, it's blood, blood screaming inside you to work its will.

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.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
LOVED the singing, loved it. Other than that, I got no comment.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
The sly references to Jeanine's anorexia.
Bulemia, I think.
It was pushing my cute tolerance a little. I missed the Aunts. Still loving the design which with the factory had a Willy Wonka vibe.
Still very good but they gotta stop the 15 years 4 months 2 days 17 minutes crap.

I loved that the Dandy Lion was so lightweight and resiliently plastic that it kept bouncing off the front of the hummer when the CEO was ramming them. It was like trying to mow down Happy Fun Ball!

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
I want to be a Dandelion for Halloween now. Those costumes were awesome!
The girl in her costume crying while eating pie while shimmying around the platform was rather disturbing.

Yeah, but I liked that part. Emmett found the faceless dummy creepy.
Janine had weirdly asymetrical eyes.

Dear ABC, please stream this episode on your site tomorrow.
Signed, the poor deprived Goth who can't get ABC to come in properly on her TV, and isn't about to get cable for one show.
(There was a song and dance number? And handgun cozies? zomg, must see this!)

Thank you! That was driving me bananas.

not your mom's socks.
love. this. show.
singing sort of had me in the uncomfortable runtonextroomforsomethingimportant pose, but it was so campy that I rethought. Glad I did - the dancing made it even better, and weirder... first with Digby, and then with the floor guy who can't hear or see her [the staging sort of worked]. KC is awesome - she works this so-intense-and-driven-pie-shop-person friction in really funny ways. And OMG the toile.
the plot was pretty good - though not as twisty as the first one. Pure scientist done in by (WF for Jilli - hope ABC posts) evil marketing-CEO for fun and profit isn't unforseeable, but the way that they spun the characters and their secret lives around it was a good watch.
Color me awful, but I'm going to tire of the 'I killed your dad when we were 8 but can't bring myself to tell you because our relationship will fail though I really want to because otherwise our relationship will fail' thing long before the 'we can't ever touch' will wear me out. I like the tension in the second much more than the guilt-ridden impasse in the first.
starter catalog of secret lives that were hinging this ep -
- knitting (Emerson)
- odd banking practices with knitting (Emerson, again)
- historical erotica collection in the cheese cellar (Aunts - want more Aunts!)
- practically everything (Olive)
- food - esp. PIE! (Jeanine)
- practically everything (Ned)
- where she keeps getting her dresses and accessories if the guys are shopping for her (Chuck)
- language skills & ability to pickpocket ["with these things I call hands" bwah] (Chuck)
- hidden geek ["and then I reprogrammed the card..."] (Emerson)
