There's more than one way to skin a cat. And I happen to know that's factually true.

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!

John Waters TOTALLY needs to do a guest spot.
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.

Lou Grant and Mary Richards trump any seedier connotations on this side of the pond, Fay.

Heh. You said 'seedier'. Heh.
And now I'll stop giggling like a twelve year old.

Was there a pun in Matt's post? Oh well, it will come to me eventually, I guess.
