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...

I missed parts of this episode, but had some very interesting times what with Lily being high, haha.

Still kinda creeped out by Oscar == PeeWee Herman, but greatly amused that Vivian == Audrey from Little Shop of Horrors. She was also a late XF episode, it seems.

Dude, I totally missed Yvette!

Hee, word vomit.

I didn't realize it was Pee Wee until Krissy screamed it in my ear (that BITCH!).

So frakking creepy.

Dude, I totally missed Yvette!

It took me a few moments to figure out who the Wish lady was; I kept thing, "I know her! That's...that's...she was on Wonderfalls...gah...!"

Best Supporting Facial Feature In A Dramatic Role?

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

I love how depressing this show can be. (And didja notice that the giant fence around the aunts' house only appeared after Chuck's dad died? Awww.)

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

I know! There was much New!Ned here. WE NEED MORE EPISODES.

Poor Ned and his searching.

Why is it that Chuck goes to Oscar instead of the aunts? You'd think if she was going for a security-breach, she'd go to somebody she wanted to tell anyway...

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.

Ha! Just what I was thinking!

"That thing's uglier than a chipmunk's ass."

I heart the coroner.

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

Poor guy needs a hug like nobody's business.

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

WHY MUST THE WRITERS STRIKE NOOOOOWWWWWW???

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

Apparently the insurance company had a Swiss theme? (Didja see the Ricola horns on the pamphlet Ned was reading?)

was I the only one getting a Phantom of the Opera vibe here? Just a bit, maybe?

Hehehe. Oscar is super-creepy.

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

I KNOW. There was plenty enough winter layering there to manage a skin-free hug. Please to stop torturing us, show.

Ooookay. Please, please tell me that's just Lily being high.

Eh, I think it could work, if they do it right. Although I'd really rather know about Emerson's daughter...

Awwwww.

She knew in her heart she didn't really want a security breach, and that Oscar probably wouldn't figure it out?

I heart the coroner.

Best Supporting Actor?

WHY MUST THE WRITERS STRIKE NOOOOOWWWWWW???

BECAUSE THEY WANT MOOOOOOOONNNNNNEEEEYYYYYY!!!! *sends telepathic mindwaves to the studios to pay them more*

Apparently the insurance company had a Swiss theme? (Didja see the Ricola horns on the pamphlet Ned was reading?)

Ohhhh. Now it makes sense. I noticed the German name and the German font, but didn't really connect that with the yodeling.

I KNOW. There was plenty enough winter layering there to manage a skin-free hug. Please to stop torturing us, show.

FOR REAL.

Eh, I think it could work, if they do it right.

Like maybe she was an egg donor and that was all...

Although I'd really rather know about Emerson's daughter...

Uh, yeah. DUDE.

[rowdycamels.livejournal.com]

I suppose the aunts were a whole 'nother can of worms in themselves...

Best Supporting Actor?

Mmmmmmm hm.

*sends telepathic mindwaves to the studios to pay them more*

*sends telepathic chainsaws to attack the studios*

Like maybe she was an egg donor and that was all...

Because they abducted her and stole her ova and then made a little kid who spurted Slurm everywhere.... oh wait, wrong show....

Uh, yeah. DUDE.

INDEED.

PS- So, guess what I saw at Kmart the other day? A cross between a bearskin rug and a singing fish. When you stepped on it, it moved and sang a song. I had lols.

[icepixie]

Mmmmmmm hm.

*snort*

*sends telepathic chainsaws to attack the studios*

That works too...

Because they abducted her and stole her ova and then made a little kid who spurted Slurm everywhere.... oh wait, wrong show....

Heh heh heh. I could see them doing something like that and making it good...

ROFLCOPTER!
