Willow ,'Bring On The Night'
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.

This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.
I loved that whole scene: Ned being all defensive about not believing in ghosts and Chuck telling Emerson about little Ned wetting his pants during a seance at her aunts' house.
I totally missed that scene. It must have been when we had the trick-or-treater false alarm. (Nine years, no trick-or-treaters. I don't know why my husband thought this year would be different.)
I loved that Digby made the dog purring sound when Ned was petting him.
The weird thing about this show, I find, is that I often enjoy it more when I watch the episode the second time. The first time around, I spend more time boggling at the WTF moments (of which there are many.) There are also a lot of details I miss on the first watch -- like Olive's gigantic bag of cash from the win having a huge dollar sign, the see/hear/speak no evil monkeys at Mrs Jacobs' house, etc.
I hear that the Writer's Guild of America strike is on as of today. I have concerns about the impact the strike will have on fledgling show like Pushing Daisies.
As much as I like Pushing Daisies, I have a couple of handwavey problems. If the death is scaled to the life he brought back (as in bird = squirrel or another bird or fruit = flowers), why did the fly he brought back kill his mom? Also, if he'd returned to his childhood home before, why had he never seen Chuck if she was right across the street the whole time? And weren't the aunts elsewhere rather than right across the street?

Oh, yeah, this was confusing to me as well.
But I thought his mom just died coincidentally. I'm going to have to rewatch I guess.
why did the fly he brought back kill his mom?
Mom died of an aneurysm. When he left her alive for longer than a minute, it killed Chuck's dad.
why did the fly he brought back kill his mom?
I thought she died of natural causes, the first time.
Mom died for good when she went to kiss him goodnight.
First death of mom was natural, second was from kissing him goodnight. Bringing flies back killed other flies.
Touching the fly didn't kill Ned's mother. He touched the fly (it flew off), then went on the playdate, and after he came back his mother died.
The playdate was longer than 1 minute.
