Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Emerson is the best thing about this show, hands down
I'm starting to find Chuck annoying, though I continue to love her outfits.
John Waters TOTALLY needs to do a guest spot.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
The plastic-wrap kissing was totally hot.
I liked this episode better than last week's. It was less firing-on-too-many-cylinders.
I loved the opening, with young Ned being all scientific and discovering The Minute.
And Emerson's "Oh HELL no!" followed by his fleeing from the funeral home was priceless.
Chuck is still mildly annoying at times, but she's getting better. She's just so terminally sunny in comparison to the more dour Emerson and Ned that it's really jarring.

And she is or was so persistent in going everywhere that Ned goes.

And being two inches away from him despite the constant risk of potential re-death.

Oh, and when Olive was walking up the drive to the Aunts' house - I marvelled at Kristen Chenowith's ability to walk like a normal person while wearing Barbie shoes - those things were perilous!

outstanding.
KC's flee from the aunt's porch was priceless. And a nice parallel to Emerson's run.
The twee isn't bothering me - and I am usually bothered by twee. I think the candy-colors have had their effect. But Waters could provide substantial un-twee-ing, while still staying within the scheme of the show.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
I think there were some huge problems with PD last night. The villain's back(hi)story was un-buyable for me, even on a fairy tale level (a Chinese worker leading Confederate troops? Really?), and the transition from cops-outside-the-Pie-Hole to bringing-the-body-back-to-where-it-was-found to bad-guy-in-custody-Ned-off-the-hook-and-Emerson-let's-them-return-the-treasure was WAY too "What? How? What?" for me to let it slide.
And yet, I didn't care. I had a big silly grin on my face the whole time (the "Oh HELL no!" being one of the best moments) even as I was noting issues I was having. Emerson has gone from not really doing much but be a plot advancer to being one of my favorite things on the show. Plus Lee Pace got to swash his buckle. And I've started to get acclimated to the narration; I might even miss it if they started rationing it more stingily.
I will say that Chuck's insistence on being with Ned 24-7 is going to get grating if they don't address it. Her calling Emerson Pooh ("Kick, Pooh, kick!!!") did amuse the hell out of me though. And her getting on Emerson's last nerve is quite enjoyable (much like Spike annoying the snot out of Angel season 5).

...from the utter calm that greeted this assertion, I gather that either (a) you are all far more mature than me, or (b) it doesn't have the same connotations across the pond.
