icepixieChannel 2, in its infinite wisdom, decided that I cared enough about a thunderstorm warning in a county over 100 miles away to want several break-ins and a scrolling warning across the bottom of the screen for, oh, the first forty-five minutes of the show tonight. ARGH. I think that county actually gets their station out of Paducah, fer cryin' outloud!
Anyway, thoughts on what I saw of the show below the cut.
- Olive: "Unless that's a rolling pin you have under your apron."
Ned: *produces rolling pin* *looks terrified*
- Aw, Ned and Chuck have their first real fight! Well, for a little while.
- "KnitWit Magazine." *cackle*
- It's a Weepies song on the J.C. Penny commercial! One I own! For once, I am ahead of the pop culture curve!
- Olive: "This is your future." *holds up tumbler with water*
Lily: "Is it vodka?"
Olive: "No, it's water."
Lily: "As in Russian for vodka?"
I LOVE LILY.
- Emerson reminds me more and more of Ray Vecchio. I think they'd get along great.
- Does Bryan Fuller have a vendetta against red cars? He seems to blow them up frequently on his shows...
- "Klondike-5." Does anyone besides people over a certain age and communications geeks like me even know what that means anymore?
- "Look, there's the killer." *snerk*
- Vivian's voice really, really started to grate tonight. I know it's not Ellen Greene's real voice; I wish they'd let her drop it.
- "Ned!" "Chuck!" "Oscar!" "Napoleon!" *pause* "Hi, Emerson." "Hi, Olive." Bless.
- Heh, "solid" reputation. *hearts fecal pun*
- Ooooh, hate this song. Hate it.
- They're...wearing pagodas on their heads?
- Six dollars for a cupcake-sized pie? Seriously?
- Ooooooh. I like Oscar being all suspcious about Chuck. Nice.
All in all, not bad, although I think I would've gotten into it more without all the friggin' interruptions. Loved the aunts getting more screentime--anything with the aunts is good--and Olive and Chuck "bonding." Really like the Oscar character, and the thread introduced at the end. A bit meh on the plot, but whatever.
