Felicity:Sydney Bristow::Seth Cohen:Chuck Bartowski
No! Sydney's way niftier than that.
Then again, I haven't seen the second ep. Comes with being unmotivated by having seen the first.
Wait. People? She eats people? 'To Serve Man.' It's 'To Serve Man' all over again.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Nifty has nothing to do with it. It's a creator's favored character being repurposed for a spy show.

I found out that Pushing Daisies is streaming at the ABC website, so if you've been intrigued by the description here, you could give it a couple minutes right now!
I just watched the first five minutes, and I think I'm in love. Oh dear. And yes, very Tim Burton. Did Danny Elfman do the music? It sure sounds like it.

To me it has to do with nifty, because I don't see Chuck as a) like Seth or b) like a potential favourite. But mostly I think Chuck is a step down for/from Seth in a way that Sydney wasn't for Felicity.

I think if you give it five minutes you'll want to see the rest (if you're not bon bon, anyway.)
I might give it another chance with my full attention, since I haven't heard a bad thing about it.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I'm so deep in grading hell I haven't been able to watch tv all week. It's cruel I tell you! No Heroes, no Eureka, no Bionic Woman or DirtySexyMoney, no Pushing Daisies. Thank goodness for tivo is all I can say.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I might give it another chance with my full attention, since I haven't heard a bad thing about it.
It's certainly a reasonable point of view, though. Pushing Daisies definitely lays it on thickly.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I'm sure there'll be some tonal adjustments on the show after the pie-let.
C'mon though! His shop is called The Pie Hole. Plus I love Ellen Greene, and Swoozie looks awesome with an eyepatch and Kristen looks cool being super tiny. (And I think her hair is bobbed after the first episode.)

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
I must be pretty tired (oh I know I am with the chronic insomnia) but I'm sitting here thinking, " Pushing Daisies is just like Magic Realism, but without any identifiable supernatural element..." and then remembered, oh yes: bringing things back from the dead. Yeah, I guess that qualifies.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
She's so tiny compared to Lee Pace that my husband thought it was a special effect at first.
