Pushing Daisies 2.8: "Comfort Food"

[icepixie]

Four words: MUFFIN BUFFALO ROAMS AGAIN!

Bryan Fuller, I love you. Mary Ann Marie! Eeee! (Was this the Wonderfalls crossover they were talking about, or just a bonus crossover?)

- The plastic sheet between Ned and Chuck on the bed was adorable. (Um, so is that one of the "devices"?)

- Oh dear god, the hats. Ow.

- Aaaaand now we have a mummy. Is his gastro-intestinal tract still solvent enough to digest food? I would think decomp had put a dent in that. Then again, his lungs obviously work...

- "Don't think I'm not going to yell at you later!" I love you, Emerson.

- Okay, Chuck's sweater of ugly started pixellating around the edges on my computer screen. Ow.

- Oof. Is Ned/Olive back to haunt us? Damn. I really don't like her pining after him. (Although maybe this means Alfredo will be back soon to sweep her off her feet!)

- Heh. When they were tasting the evidence from the spatula, they were toally channeling Fraser.

- "Military salute for Charles. But if I happen to miss and blow Dwight's head off, that's something my lawyers can sort out." Great dialogue in this episode. Also, I love Lily.

- Aaaand Olive gets another slightly-too-long musical solo! I guess when you have a Kristen Chenoweth, you don't want to cut it short. I did enjoy the constant interruptions like she had with the Grease song last year. And heh, eternal oven flame.

- Ooooh, is that last bit with Ned and Olive an indication that they'll just be better buddies and she won't pine for him? Because I'd like that.

- Well, technically I guess that wasn't really a cliffhanger, since we know what happened to Dwight...

- I liked mixing up the pairings this week--Chuck and Emerson alone together isn't something we see too often. You could totally tell that he was kind of substituting her for his daughter when she was all distraught in his office.

I'm allergic to Wonderfalls, but ZOMG SPARKLE MOTION LADY

I'm allergic to Wonderfalls

You're allergic to good TV, then. (You can't not love the talking tchotkes! Surely!)

I can't deal with the girl. She's just so sarcastic, so condescending and defensive (at least in the two? episodes I made it through before giving up). I want to tell her to sit up straight and stop whining.

Awww. You have a Jaye-shaped hole in your heart. Her sarcasm is what makes me love her (Would it help if I said she gets emotionally slapped upside the head near the end of the series, and it mellows her out for the one or two remaining episodes?)

Maybe it's more like, I have a Daria-shaped hole in my heart, and Jaye is trying to fit into it, but she can't, because her head is several sizes too big and her giant spike of sarcasm keeps getting in the way.
