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.

But it's Jim Dale! He reads all the Harry Potter audiobooks! (I can't imagine Stephen Fry narrating this. Too much...sarcasm? Not sarcasm. irony? Hmmm. Not grandfatherly enough, I think might be what I'm searching for.)
I get the impression there's some unnatural time-freezing going on, or something along those lines....
Oh, my. This could be interesting.
'Cause they're not gonna milk this for every available ounce of angst AT ALL.
Oh, never. (I hear rumor of them wrapping themselves in saran wrap and kissing, and dancing in beekeeper outfits.)
I gave the TW premiere a wide miss. I get the impression this was wise.
MDb seems to think they've made six eps already, so at least we've got that much if they ax it...
Woo!
