"The Fun in Funeral"

[icepixie]

- Aww, little scientific Ned. (Are we going to get a narrated plot synopsis at the beginning of every single episode? 'Cause that's getting annoying.)

- The saran wrap kiss was disgustingly cute.

- Okay, Chuck? Is getting really frickin' irritating now. Hopefully that means this episode will take her down a peg or four.

- Oh, Olive. "I don't want frank and honest!" And oh, that infatuated look on the wacky pharmacuetical-seller's face cannot bode well...

- Speaking of Olive...does she own any other clothes besides that green dress?

- ...Okay, an orange version of that same dress wasn't exactly what I was thinking, but I'll take it.

- "This is a pie shop, not an herbal crack den." Bwah!

- Oh, I see the taking down of a peg is already happening. Excellent.

- *snerk* Lily's tears collect under her eyepatch. Naturally. And she has different ones for different outfits. Of course.

- BWAH! Smart move, Emerson, get out of proximity! (I kind of wondered how they would address Ned being prevented to re-touch an alive again person.)

- Okay, happy pill guy is a.) really familiar, and b.) really creeping me out.

- Dead guy in the freezer. Nice thing to wake up to.

- The plot thickens! Oh, I so want Olive to find out about Chuck.

- Also, Olive + the aunts = awesome. More, please. (Was anyone else afraid we'd see more of Kristin Chenoweth than really necessary due to the extreme shortness of her skirt and the fact that they were kind of filming from below when she was on the porch?)

- "Heaven's closing in like a minute."

- "We died at the same time?" / "It was the Rapture."

- "Battle of Mur-FREES-boro"? Jim Dale, have you been taking elocution lessons from Strongbad?

- Oooh, Olive is suspecting. Not quite the right thing, but suspecting is good.

- Was not really expecting Ned to moralize for quite so long without some kind of irony or sarcasm there. Hmm. Although the fact that he was doing it with a sword was good. ("I wanted to be a Jedi," heh.) And that hyper-fast, kind-of-shady-sounding-and-yet-heartfelt speech to Chuck in their pajamas was more in line with what I expect from this show.

I know it's there to help draw in new viewers, but... ugh. Surely once the show establishes itself (and doesn't get canceled!), they'll calm down a bit with that.

Ha! Nope, I was just wondering if the awkward shortness of her dresses is the reason for that weird little shuffling prance she does. Surely she owns *some* clothes that are, you know, clothes? Alas.

"We died at the same time?" / "It was the Rapture."

And after the Rapture, no one will need seat belts?

"Battle of Mur-FREES-boro"? Jim Dale, have you been taking elocution lessons from Strongbad?

Just what I was thinking! Maybe... it's a different Murfreesboro? One that's pronounced wrong?

And that hyper-fast, kind-of-shady-sounding-and-yet-heartfelt speech to Chuck in their pajamas was more in line with what I expect from this show.

Aww, yes. Moral ambiguity and crack dens for the win!

Surely after we hit, say, episode six or seven they can can it with the intro? (Unless they decide to emulate Paul Gross and put it in every episode ever 'cause it's "funny.")

Perhaps?

Yes. And surely Chuck owns some clothes that at least pretend to cover her chest? I just want to throw fabric at both of them.

And after the Rapture, no one will need seat belts?

Well, not much point, really...

Just what I was thinking! Maybe... it's a different Murfreesboro? One that's pronounced wrong?

Uh...I think that might make me feel better if I repeat it to myself enough times...

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

ARG. You would think if it were that important for her to not die accidentally, the two of them could at least wear long sleeves or something. Or he could, you know, wear gloves? But I suppose that would make him less pretty or something. This show may require a bit of drink more, think less...

You would thing, and yet you would be wrong.

Or more ignoring the logicial fallacies in favor of staring at the pretty set design, costuming and camera work...

...and Lee Pace...

[icepixie]

Well, yes. (Although what was with that over-gelled little wave thing he had going on up on his forehead for most of this episode? Not a fan.)

[icepixie]

Okay, there are now three people on the TWOP forums claiming it's correct to pronounce it with an accent on "free." *boggles* I'm almost to the point of signing up and correcting them all.

[castalianspring.livejournal.com]

...those people cannot possibly be from TN. Seriously. Ouch.

[icepixie]

I sincerely hope not. *headdesk*

Really familiar and slightly creepy herbal guy is apparently Raul Esparza who is...from Broadway? Dunno where he would've showed up offstage, but he's very fond of Sondheim, and I half expected a duet to follow up last weeks "Hopelessly Devoted" twirl around the bar stools. Broadway accosts cable! Muahaha!

I think I just admitted that I'm watching Pushing Daisies. It's Sarah's fault.

Bwahah! But isn't it fun?

Wait...you weren't? Admitting it, at least?

...no. I don't think I've ever actually watched a TV show as a TV show. It feels weird. It's always been DVDs months or years later, or the pilot and then, poof, don't have a TV or something, or um...pirated, in some cases.

's rather fun, though. Especially when I get done watching it and then have your play-by-plays to look forward to, 'cause they're always amusing and spot on.

That's...rather amazing. I watched a lot of reruns, and later DVDs. but there was always at least one I watched that was actually in production, at least until...no, wait, even at Kenyon there was sporadic Stargate.

Especially when I get done watching it and then have your play-by-plays to look forward to, 'cause they're always amusing and spot on.

Aww, thanks. :)
