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 do agree that the "X years, Y weeks, Z hours and Q minutes" stuff might get old if it continues too long. Anyone know if the narrator will be around for more than just the pilot?
I got the impression that it was the same dog - I think he said so when he introduced him to Chuck. So, maybe psuedo-immortality, as long as he isn't touched? I wonder if that holds true for Chuck as well.

He's gonna be around, although I've heard that they'll be paring back his role a bit, which is good.

Hmmm...
