Pushing Daisies: The Dummy
Oct. 10th, 2007 05:40 pm- So I'm guessing several months went by between the pilot and this episode, if Lee Pace's hair (ETA: and Kristin Chenoweth's, whoa) is anything to go by.
- Not thrilled with the rehashing of last week for several minutes even though we had a freakin' previously-on, but hopefully that'll go away soon.
- Loved the frog thing. Heh. That's totally the thing to do if you have that power. (Although...less than a minute passed between bringing the frogs back to life and Ned getting out to the tree to sit moodily while birds died? Er, I suppose there's a fluid conception of time going on here...)
- Oh, Olive. Hee. I would actually root for you if I knew it wasn't hopeless.
- Knitted gun cozies! BWAH!
- Why hello, Anna Friel's cleavage.
- Okay, Chuck's "last words" thing is going to get on my nerves just as much as it does Emerson's, I think. But I have been called ruthlessly efficient.
- Loving Emerson. His smackdown of Olive had me giggling and wincing at the same time. "That's code for get me some pie."
- Okay, the dandelion costumes are surreal. Heh. I was a bit wary of the whole "procedural" tag that's sort of attached to this, but if all the cases are this wacky, I'm all for it.
- Heh, high-fiving with dandelion dolls.
- Yay, Kristin gets to sing! ...That possibly went on a little long. But still, yay.
- "...and Digby considered how much he liked salt..." Bwahahaha. They seem to be using the narrator much, much better this time around. I like it when he's used more as a segue than a walking example of why "show, don't tell" is a good maxim.
- Are there more commercial breaks than average in this program? Sure feels like it. Maybe it's the swelling "duh-duh-duh-DUHHHH" music before each of them.
- Aaaand we're walking! (Sorry.)
- Okay, now the narrator's explaining more than really necessary. But eh.
- Aww, bodybag kiss. And heh, Emerson wrenching them apart.
- Oh, Olive. I love you.
- Cash cozies! HEE!
- OMG, I think the holding-hands-though-the-car-glove put me into insulin shock, but it was so adorable I don't care.
Verdict: EVEN BETTER than the pilot! If you aren't watching this, start. Start now. This show is awesome. And hilarious.
Also, I need icons.
