Kat, I totally agree it felt rushed. But I don't think they had any choice unless they'd just left it hanging with the sisters finding out Chuck was alive - clearly what would have been the SEASON finale rather than series. As someone else pointed out, it was nice that they flashed through places we'd seen before AND that they closed on Digby.
Hands! Hands in new places!

In my experience, and from the problems of people close to me, anemia is a 'frog in hot water' problem in that it makes you generally miserable in many amazingly subtle ways.
It really is-- now that I'm starting to feel even marginally better, I'm beginning to realize just how crappy I was feeling and even the marginal improvement is just leaps and bounds over where I was.
It's really insidious as hell.

Re: Pushing Daisies:
I think, too, they might have worked the Ned and his vague feelings of jealousy over Olive and Randy had they had another season. It would have been interesting to see if what he felt was jealousy over losing Olive's devotion, over Olive herself, or over the fact that Olive and Randy could have a "normal" relationship.

Frankenbuddha, I know. It just made me realize how much more story Pushing Daisies had to tell and how depressing its cancellation was.

Barb, maybe they will deal with that in the comic book continuation of it?

Barb, that's definitely true too. I have to say that I'll miss Olive the most. Of all the characters, she had the most joy.

CaBil, is there going to be a comic book continuation?

Umm, yeah. I figured it was old news by now. Written by the creators and everything. Give me a minute to find some links.

Oh, I agree 100%. And it kills me that it was such an unlikely hit for a while, and then the writer's strike happened.
