Pushing Daisies: Pie-lette

[icepixie]

- I love the Tim Burtonesque design and the funky cinematography. Way cool.

- Not totally wild about the narrator, but I think part of it is that it's also the pilot, which is saddled with exposition anyway. But the "X years, Y weeks, Z hours and Q minutes" formula is going to grate if they continue it past this episode.

- Let me just say right now that I love Lee Pace. Especially when he's trying despearately to fend off Kristin Chenoweth's advances. Bwah!

- The mechanical dog-petting hand! Ha! (But...I guess he saved another dog? Because wouldn't the original dog that got hit by a truck 20 years earlier be dead of some other cause by now? I didn't think the gift granted immortality...)

- Oho, and of course now he can't touch his childhood sweetheart again because she'll die if he does. Very clever. Perhaps they should become penpals, and carry on a tempestuous romance through words.

- Ha! I kind of wish the travel agency owner wasn't a guest star. She's funny.

- "That was from me." *snerk* Emerson's put-upon attitude makes me giggle.

- Loving the aunts. Particlarly Lily (the one with the eyepatch).

- Aww. The hands thing was cute. I'm liking Chuck--she gets a lot of good lines.


Verdict: Love all the characters. Love the concept. Definitely watching next week.

I love Jim Dale, but I totally agree that if they're not careful, that factor's not going to work.

Jim Dale's pretty awesome, and I know narrators can work--and I'm sure Bryan Fuller can make it work--but yeah. Care is needed, or it will definitely become annoying.

"I can hold my breath a LONG time." *snerk!*

I laughed out loud at that one. Hee!
