I don't think we'll ever find out the source of his powers. It basically said in the pie-lette - this is what it is, no explanation needed. If they get to the point that they tell us, I fear that that'll be the jump the shark episode.
That doesn't mean that Chuck and Ned will be kept apart the entire series - though I wouldn't expect them to be able to touch for a long time - possibly even the final episode.
What I'm wondering is how long are they going to keep Olive out of the loop of what he does? She's tagging along more and more (which is a very good thing), so she's bound to see Ned work his magic sooner or later I agree with your thoughts on Ned's powers. I think what saves the show from being overly trite is Olive's obvious pining for Ned. However, last night, it can be said that while she still has feelings for him she's beginning to see that someone else loves her for who she is. The whole "if I loved you" bit from Alfredo was beautiful, and I loved the "romantic" music playing in the background. As for Chuck and Ned? Those two will find ways to touch each other, whether it be saran wrap or plexi-glass in the car... I think the tension between them is one of the things that really drives the show. And of course, things will get interesting now that she knows his secret.
I really can't express in words how much I love this show. It gives me something to look foward to on Wednesday evenings (outside of Project Runway). The cast (guest stars included) are brilliant. Jim Dale is perfection as the narrator ("The facts were these...")
A few moments I enjoyed from last night's episode:
- The "twirling kiss" between Alfredo and Olive.
-
The Birds parody.
- "Hello Day" and Chuck asking Ned if he's her boyfriend.
Also, if any of you haven't seen Lee Pace in
Wonderfalls, be sure to check it out! (The DVD is easily accesible, and his character is much different from Ned).
