I managed to catch Pushing Daisies last night. It made me ridiculously happy.
Anya: We should drop a piano on her. It always works for that creepy cartoon rabbit when he's running from that nice man with the speech impediment. Giles: Yes, or perhaps we could paint a convincing fake tunnel on the side of a mountain.
'Touched'
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.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
PD ratings for ep.2 : [link]
About 10 million viewers, down by 21% from the pilot. I'd expected the numbers to fall, but that is quite a bit of a drop.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
No! Goddamn it, I'm loving the sound of this show and fearing that it's dooooooomed, in the manner of most quirky, interesting shows.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
10 million is still a very respectable number. I wouldn't worry just yet.

Not doomed. No. Not every intelligent show gets killed. No.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I'm really going to like Wednesdays, I think. I like Pushing Daisies muchly (though it IS a bit cute), but I may be falling in love with DirtySexyMoney. Sooo cheesy good!

I'm enjoying DirtySexyMoney. It's got the same blithe cynicism as Boston Legal, sort of, but with darker notes added. Although I cringe a little as the "good guy" slides down the slippery slope.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
I find the priest on DirtySexyMoney to be not only unlikeable, but unfathomable (what the HELL brought him to the priesthood?) and what he's doing to "Gustav" unconscionable.
Peter Krause is awesome, as always, but I'd rather watch SN.
Pushing Daisies, otoh, is fantastic and makes me giggle helplessly like I haven't since s1 OC. Not that the two are anything alike.
I wonder if Chi already knew how to knit or had to learn for the show.

Or he fakes it and, for close-ups of his hands, they use a stand-in.

I think most of the knitting shots last night were medium shots, where you could see both Chi and his hands, so those shots, it had to be him.
