Wow…lots of plot advancement tonight! Spoilers here so skip to the 2nd post…
I’m guessing that Ned’s last name begins with a B or an E. If Dwight Dickson was friends with Chuck’s dad and Ned’s dad, and they all had pocketwatches with their alliterative initials on them, then it was either BB, CC, and DD or CC, DD, and EE.
As soon as they mentioned the magnets I knew it was the Geek.
I’m so going to miss this show…the dialogue is just a thing of utter beauty. Especially Emerson’s lines.
Great Episode again. It was fun seeing Anna Friel doing all the accents and especially her doing an American doing a British accent.
I loved Emerson asking the “Geek” if he liked Comics books.
There was a preview of the next all new episode of Pushing Daisies at the end! What does this portend, if anything?
(ETA: A preview, I might add, featuring my favorite Boston Legal judge as the stiff!)
There are still episodes to air. The final show was filmed already, but not aired. This is the 4th? 5th? episode of this season, and they’re apparently going to air all 13. And there IS still a chance they’ll be renewed…maybe.
I’m guessing that Ned’s name is Edward Edwards, Jr. and his father was Edward Edwards.
I watched Pusing Daisies tonight in HD for the first time. I loved the curtains which kept closing.
This episode did inspire several questions–non-significant:
- What is the age gap supposed to be between Ned and his half-brothers?
- What was Chuck’s locket/pendant made of to be so attracted to the magnet?
- Why in the world would someone who will be rendered really most sincerely dead if she touches Ned wear so little clothes on the top half of her body (while Olive wears gloves)?
- What kind of a feathered cape did Chuck wear?
(And finally, was there some significance to the microphone being bee-shaped, but I just figured that one out).
In unrelated news, I wish the show ended 5 minutes earlier, or my brother and his girls came home 5 minutes later–it’s just not a show that I think is appropriate for 3 and 5 year olds. Of course, unlike Chicken Little (which we watched last week), it’s not pretending to be appropriate for small children. But my nieces both want to see what I’m watching, and I’d rather they didn’t–and so would their parents. But that’s not Pushing Daisies fault.
Hmmm. For some reason I had gotten it into my head that this was it, the final episode and moment of truth. I think it was from the teevee.org blog post urging everyone to watch tonight’s episode.
Well, I’m happy to have a few more Daisies on the way. 
I’m confused by the first issue myself - the kids look quite a bit younger than Ned now (18ish to his 30ish), but in the flashbacks they are 5ish to his 9ish - so I suspect that Ned “sees himself” as younger than he actually is in the flashbacks.
As far as the third issue is concerned - yeah, Chuck should be more cautious walking, sitting, standing so close to Ned; but on the other hand, she sees her whole second life as a change to live the life she didn’t live before - and that means dressing pretty and not being cautious.
Incidentally, I have to applaud the casting director. In the “dad disappears” flashback, the younger twins looked not only like each other, but just enough like younger Ned to actually be half-brothers.
I think in one of the first episodes they established that Ned was 30 and Chuck was 28. I think the twins are suppose to around 25. But they play games with ages in this show. The odd one is trying to figure out how old Olive is suppose to be?
Anyone catch the Arrested Development references?
The twins, “Not magic, illusions!”
The Magic, err, I can’t remember what PD called it. But it was The Magic <something>. In AD it was The Magic Castle. (Or The Magic Asshole, if you prefer.)
Herrman. As in, “Hey hermano!”
Or am I reading too much into this? Both have/had cult like followings and are possibly/were getting canceled early, much to the dismay of said cult.
Also, not the best PD cleavage episode to date, but it was a valiant effort.
I thought “herrmann” was supposed to be another double name (isn’t “herr” german for “man”?)
I’m going to miss this show. Here’s hoping that they air all 13 episodes and don’t yank it, promise to burn it off in the summer, and then decide not to do that and just end up just putting them on the DVD.
I hope they release the DVD in a reasonable time frame.
More like “Mr.”. Mr. Man.
I love the costumes. I missed some of the dialogue because I was too busy admiring Chuck’s dress.
And the scene in the car, where she’s listening to Olive talk to Lily about being Chuck’s mother…excuse me, there must be some extra pollen in the air.
And DD knows Chuck’s not dead! Yipppeeee! More suprises to come!
Didn’t Olive seem a bit enamored of Dwight Dixon last time he was in the Pie Hole? She sure didn’t act too upset when he arrived with Vivian this week.
jayjay mentioned the fine job done by the casting director, and I have to agree. Young Ned looks a lot like grown-up Ned, and the young Olive from a few weeks ago looked like she could be Kristin Chenoweth’s daughter. They do a good job with the supporting roles, as well. People like Stephen Root, Fred Willard, Molly Shannon and Paul Reubens (and others) are perfect for this show.
I liked Emerson’s line “Now, where is that rat’s ass that I could give?”
I hate to disagree with you after you agreed with me about the casting and all, but I have to. She did NOT look happy that Vivian’s date was Dwight. Not at all. She was giving him the stinkeye (with BOTH of her good eyes) the whole time they were in the Pie Hole.
Maybe you’re right; I probably just didn’t catch it. I thought she was just trying to eavesdrop to pick up anything they might be saying about Lily and Chuck.
Emerson Cod is the only character on television that makes me laugh out loud (so much that I have to rewind b/c I miss stuff) every single week. Perfect combination of writing and delivery.
I’ll be very sad if this show doesn’t get another season. I tend to giggle all the way through each episode.
Oh, and Olive is smokin’.
