icepixieI admit, over the last two less-than-stellar episodes, my adoration for this show had been waning a bit. But with this episode, my adorkable-yet-snarky show is back in fine form, although perhaps with a few plotholes (more on that later). I love this show!
Aside from the murder case, I kind of liked the idea of competition for the pie shop, or at least the focus on the business side of things. Sometimes I do wonder how they manage to find time to run a business, what with all the murders they're always solving. (Then again, I suppose the reward money is where most of Ned & Co's funding comes from, rather than the shop...)
- Awww, Ned has a friend! But not for long.
- Ned and Chuck are going to send me into insulin shock one day. But I'll love every minute of it. (The boyfriend/girlfriend convo was SO CUTE.)
- And heh, just as it gets too treacley, the father thing comes up.
- "The meaning of 'nothing' was...'I never told you I inadvertently killed your father.'"
- So, in a town or city that looks, you know, not huge, how are they finding all these murders? Is there a crime wave sweeping the city?
- OMG, Alfredo is adorable! Awwwwwwwww! And Olive's, "Eh, forget it," cracked me right up. Poor, oblivious Olive.
- Dude, Chuck, lose the Lennon glasses. And also the sixties hair. Gah. (Ned could lose that errant curl on his forehead, too.)
- *snerk* at the whole "truth isn't like puppies, you can't pick the one you want" thing
- Molly Shannon's a bit odd-looking as a blonde.
- "Pie Ho." Heh.
- "Of course, that'd be a different universe, and something else would probably suck." Can we have a book of philosophy written by Olive?
- Eeep, health inspector!
- Now Olive knows about the dead fruit. Slowly but surely, she's inching her way towards finding out Ned's secret...
- "Well, this can't end well."
- LOVElovelove Olive and Chuck palling around and being all cat burglery. Even when Olive's still kinda pissed. But, love their growing friendship; female friendship is not generally featured in the stuff I watch, more's the pity, and they're doing it marvelously here. (...Um, anyone written any femslash? I could so see that, too.)
- "We may have set loose some inappropriate vermin."
- Oh, dear. Poor, red-handed Ned.
- Are there commercials, like, every three seconds? (Although I heard another song by the Weepies in an Old Navy commercial. Yay for exposure! ...I wonder if hearing several songs I like in commercials lately means I'm getting old?)
- "Nancy Shrew"
- "I like my way better--cut the sucker open." Yay, morgue dude! And heh, Chuck seemed entirely too interested in that autopsy.
- The gun baked into the pie had me on the FLOOR. Oh, Olive.
- I did enjoy seeing the rest of the Scooby Gang operating without their wunderkind, Ned, for a while. It was interesting and worked quite well, actually, the whole Olive-in-the-trunk thing notwithstanding...
- So the murderer was...unexpected. I kind of get the feeling this one was cut to fit in an hour, and perhaps there used to be more investigating and/or clues pointing to the health inspector, rather than deus ex narrator solving the crime for us.
- "Which is to say--go, lying. Or at least, yay for not telling the truth."
- Ohhhhh, poor Olive! *sniff* He'll be back! (You know, if the show comes back after the next and last episode...please-oh-please...)
- "You're my phantom limb." Now there's an endearment.
- DUN DUN DUN DUN! Oh, ever-truthful Ned. Poor, poor Ned.
- Next week (well, two weeks from now) looks awesome. It's also the last one they have in the can. *sob* Please end soon, writers' strike. Not before you get what you want and deserve, but soon.
