The Official "Pushing Daisies" Love Thread

Not sure if there's an "official" one. If there is...here's another one.

One question for fellow fans: Do we think the source of Ned's powers will ever be discovered? Every moment I see Ned and Charlotte aching to touch each other I realize it's just not fair to keep them apart for the whole series.

Do we think he'll find a way to touch her without killing her?

If the show lasts past the strike, then I think all that will be answered.

Love the show, btw . So cute, with a great cast and a truly unique plot.

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.

Side note - who else was totally expecting Fredo and Olive to break into "If I Loved You" tonight? That was a complete tease!

We love it too!

Did you know there are six acts? Most shows have five. Nip/Tuck has four.

CRAZY!

And I loved Raul. He's dreamy!

The marketing folks for the Sweeney Todd movie were very smart to run the new commercial that says "Frome the mind of Tim Burton..." during Pushing Daisies, since it is such a Burton-esque show.

I absolutely adore this show. It quickly became one of my favorites (though not THE favorite -- that spot is still held by Friends).

I was! There was even a dramatic pause to set it up, but no... :P

I love this show.

I also think I need an Alfredo Aldarisio love thread.

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).

I find it interesting that people truly either seem to LOVE this show - like, within half a dozen episodes are ready to call it one of their all time favorite shows - or just don't care for it at all. There seems to be very little middle ground.

I'm definitely in the "LOVE IT" group. It's not quite at Lost status for me yet, but it's easily my favorite thing on TV until Lost comes back.

I hope the writer's strike ends soon (with the writer's getting what they deserve) so we can get more PD!
