Pushing Daisies 2.3: "Bad Habits"
Oct. 16th, 2008 01:43 pmAwwww. This one was sweet. Especially the bit at the end with Ned and Olive. Awww. And they addressed the metaphysical implications of Ned's gift, albeit not conclusively. (I'm guessing their stance on the afterlife is that if it exists, it starts some time after death, because nobody Ned's woken up has been all, "You took me away from the angels!" or "Thank GOD you got me out of the burning fires of hell!")
And now Chuck knows Lily's her mother! (Can an accidental meeting be far away? Season-ending cliffhanger?) And apparently her family tree is a freaking STAND OF BAMBOO. "Step-aunts"? Seriously? So they aren't related to each other, but her father is related to someone's mother by marriage, or...what the HELL, yo. I'm lost. But I'm fairly confident everyone who had sex wasn't related, so I guess that's a good thing.
- Young Olive! Hee! And of course she gets her horse. Of COURSE she does. (Also, her parents. Hee!)
- Ned, you are officially Trying Too Hard.
- Aaaahhh! Dead nun!
- Emerson's laugh attack at seeing nun!Olive was perfect. "What got thee to a nunnery?" Heh.
- "Father Dowling." Heh heh.
- "It ain't like he never did it. Remember Lazarus?"
- Ned's Catholic too? Are all the characters on this show Catholic? (I have to say, I was not expecting everyone on the show to be so religious. Well, there is Emerson, who worships money. Although he accepts prayer as payment, because something--the book?--has really got him thinking about his daughter lately.)
- *snerk* at the bell-censors.
- "We're so going to hell."
- And we are OFFICIALLY in a Radcliffe novel. The Italian, specifically, because I finished it last month, and I'm quite certain I remember a scene where Ellena-the-fake-nun and her beau Vivaldi-the-fake-cleric were wandering through creepy secret passages at a convent. BLATANT PLAGIARISM. But amusing plagiarism. :)
- Morley cigarettes! Ha!
- "By proxy high five."
- ...They have a pig on their flag.
- "I've wanted one forever." For some reason I keep forgetting Ned's a cook...
- "Please consider your neutral homeland."
- "That's not even good gibberish."
- "Communion with your shovel." Tee hee.
- ...I just now got the pun in the title. I'm slipping.
