Pushing Daisies: "Corpsicle"

[icepixie]

So, ABC, I saw lots and lots of horrible-looking reality shows being advertised tonight. Desperate, much?

*sigh* I so hope this isn't the last episode we ever have of this show. I kind of have a feeling it might be. At least if it is, it went out on a pretty good note. Not as good as the last one, but I liked this one a lot. The mystery was done fairly well; not too easy, not too far out in left field, but the answer, when it was revealed, made sense.

I liked that Chuck didn't take Ned's revelation well, but had to work through the anger before she could talk to him again. It felt a little rushed when she decided she didn't want to spill the beans to Oscar and also that she still wanted to be around Ned, but I did still enjoy that scene (if only because the hair-envelope-swapping was funny).

Also, please give Lee Pace an Emmy. And then give his eyebrows another one.

Ramblings:

- So, that was a crappy night all around, wasn't it?

- Oooh, pretty snowflake.

- Dude, Jim Dale sounds downright ominous in this part.

- Good lord. Did Ned actually just throw a snowball at that guy in anger? Wow.

- *SNORT* The gun through the door at crotch level. OMG.

- "You're being kind of urgent over there."

- "Am I leaving?" "Yes."

- "...like something out a Tennessee Williams." Heh.

- "Go clean yourself up, you look like crap." Olive, you're so supportive...

- BWAH. Of course she's hiding in Olive's apartment.

- Olive gets the best wordplay.

- Yay, Chuck's telling her the truth! And she doesn't believe her. Of course.

- OMG. Poor aunts. Lots of happy juice.

- *snerk* at the word vomit images.

- Emerson's "She's out there all grudgy-grudge" was a nice callback to Ned's "Look at you, all judgy-judge" in the pilot.

- "Shoo." Awww, Olive.

- "That thing's uglier than a chipmunk's ass." *giggle* It's funny 'cause it's TRUE.

- DUN DUN DUN!

- And Oscar's now going all creepy(ier than usual).

- Olive's green coat and pink scarf are cute.

- Loved the scene where Ned and Olive are both looking at the camera and talking about Olive's tell, or lack thereof. They must have had such a hard time keeping straight faces.

- Lee, you just made me cry. I hate you now. Just so you know.

- That's...an inventive place to hide a body.

- Ahhh! It's Yvette from Wonderfalls! Yaaaaay! And she gets to be evil this time. Or maybe just crazy. Heee.

- Wait...Emerson has a daughter? We're finding out about this now?

- BWAHAHAHAHA! OMG, the cheese turning into a crab for reallyreallyhigh!Lily! OMG! *falls to floor*

- What's with the yodeling on the soundtrack? Did I miss a reference somewhere?

- Okay, so there was a scene in the snow at a graveyard...Oscar is being all creepy and possessive around Chuck...was I the only one getting a Phantom of the Opera vibe here? Just a bit, maybe? (And does that make Ned Raoul and Olive Meg?)

- Aw, Ned, couldn't you hug her through the coat you dropped on her back? You can dance in bee suits...

- "I'm Charlotte's mother." Ooookay. Please, please tell me that's just Lily being high. Please, show, don't do that to us. That way lies madness. And soap operas. No, no, no.

Okay, so aside from that little revelation at the end, I liked it...
