I knew that would be a cross post.
Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

I want to like Pushing Daisies, but I just can't get into it. I like the characters a lot. The plots and writing, not so much.

Pushing Daisies is on in 15 minutes, does that help?
Never seen it actually, I really should start but it's probably too late. That and I have to be up in 8 hrs to get dental work done. I'm so not looking forward to 8am (est)

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
it had gotten picked up for a full season but I'm not sure if the writer's strike might have changed that

when i die, please bake my ashes into a brick and use me to hit fascists.
Sorry, I took notes while watching again. (was actually maybe going to make it for the actual WnP, but then ended up working late. Silly labwork.)
I love Inara's teeny pink girly drink. Almost surprising that the barkeep in that seedy poolhall actually had the ingredients to make one.
Speaking of seedy poolhalls, another bar fight! Whee!
I love the background lights / whooshing during the scene with Badger--it really gives the setting atmosphere as some corner near a spaceport or something.
The costumes at the ball are an interesting mix. The commentary talks about that a little--that she dressed Atherton in an Indian collar. The guy who takes the gun looks Turkish to me.
I could go either way on whether Kaywinnit Lee is Kaylee's full name or if she fancied it up for the party and being undercover. I can see her being all, I get a fancy dress, and to be someone I'm not, whee! But I do lean slightly toward it being her actual name, because it just seems to fit with the universe. (and it's an interesting name, but I'm not sure I see her wanting to go around as Kaywinnit.)
Mal knows what colour Inara's wearing?? Did he hang out in her shuttle while she packed for the weekend? (actually, now that I think of it, it's likely that Inara was the first thing he noticed upon entering the room.)
Miss Persephone Pageant -- hee!
...Hey, maybe River's cooking them a snack!
The word "Lordhood" grates on me every time I watch this episode. Why not "lordship"?
An insult to the psychotic lowlife community--hee! (I decided to restrain myself from assembling a quote list, because I adore maybe 80% of all the lines spoken in this episode.)
I want to learn that dance that Mal and Iara do. I am completely addicted to English Country dancing! (However, I have to keep my dancer side from watching the extras too closely, because their ballroom dancing is just painful.)
"Sw--what?" I love Nathan's delivery of that.
River transforms herself in front of Badger. And so does Summer--she's such a big damn star.
...I just can't get over how beautiful Morena is. (so, so very thankful they didn't stay with Rebecca Gayheart.)
After I took a fencing class a few years ago, I gained an entirely different outloook on this episode.
In conclusion, I love how Mal is a total wimp. "Are you in pain?" "Absolutely!"
