Isn't Kristen supposed to show up this fall on Glee?

Gotta love a nod to 'Savannah Smiles,' one of the unheralded great family films of my childhood.

Re: Pushing Daisies - Season 2
Great episode. I was going to wait and see how it all ends before I decided whether or not I would by the blu-rays but I had such a good time watching the recent episode that I've decided to buy both seasons regardless of how it ends.I too like the songs Kristen Chenoworth has sung on the show. I had "Eternal Flame" stuck in my head for weeks after she sang it earlier in the season (last season?).

Everything goes better with Picardo. Good Emersode.

Nice little shout-out to Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom! Loved Olive and Emerson's current g-friend working together.

Re: Pushing Daisies - Season 2
Re: Series finale last night. Funny and bittersweet, just like the rest of the show. The aunts are out of the house and performing again, reunited with Chuck and (IIRC Ned) accompanying them, Olive and Randy have their own restaurant now, and Emerson is finally reunited with his daughter (although shown in shadow.) The actual wrap-up took like 2 minutes. Sad to see this go, but I may purchase the series on BluRay.

Re: Pushing Daisies - Season 2
Yeah, the ending was tacked on, but at least there was one. I'm sorry to see this show go.

Re: Pushing Daisies - Season 2
I'm also sad to see this show go (thanks for nothing ABC while you continue to extend the lives of a lot of questionable programs!). Not only was it an interesting and quirky show, but it had a great "techniclor" color palette that was refreshing and featured two of the greatest "Broadway" style singers together (Kristen Chenoweth and Ellen "suddenly Seymour" Greene) in the same program. As others have said, the ending was quick - but at least there was a last act.I hope that Eli Stone gets to wrap thing up as ABC treats another good show to a Saturday Massacre.

Oh nice. I didn't realize "I'm sorry, doctor" was on the show. I only watched the Pilot, and I don't think I've ever seen her in anything else. Maybe I'll have to go back and watch it.
Studios, caption your internet streams.

Re: Pushing Daisies - Season 2
If I remember correctly, Bryan Fuller actually paid for that last bit out of his own pocket and the SFX team did it for basically minimum wage.

Re: Pushing Daisies - Season 2
Nice episode. The ending was tacked on but with the way things are going no network show is ever going to have a proper ending, unless they wrap the series up somewhere around episode 6. It was more than nice while it lasted. I'll miss the Pie Maker, a girl named Chuck, Itty Bitty, private investigator Emmerson Cod, the Darling Mermaid Darlings Lily and Vivian and of course Digby and Pigby.

I'm assuming the cast did not shoot any new scenes for the tacked-on ending, and that the original ending was The Piemaker and Chuck standing in the doorway, and that the race-through-the-sewer shot is from a previous episode.
Does anyone remember if any of the tacked-on special effects stuff was reused from previous episodes?
Have we seen that have that huge tracking shot through the village before?
Have we seen the giant cow restaurant before?

Re: Pushing Daisies - Season 2
Cow is new. The flyby was awesome, as it covered almost all of the locations we've seen: cemetary, windmills, monastery, lighthouse, sewers. Probably a lot of others as well.

Re: Pushing Daisies - Season 2
I was thinking that the SFX stuff could have already been from unfinished episodes or stuff cut from previous episodes. The cow restaurant thing seemed kinda random.

I usually reserve that for Chuck or Olive walk-bys.

Re: Pushing Daisies - Season 2
When Olive lifted her leg in the prison visitation room, I had to rewind to see where her hand was. Pervy, I know.Stephen, if you look at your copy again, let me know if they show the prison. That figured in a couple of episodes and it's the only major location I can think of that I didn't see.

Speaking of pervy.. if anyone wants to see some of what the Pie Maker saw when Chuck flashed him, check out so of the Anna Friel photos (some NSFW, I'm happy to say
) from last month's (UK) Vanity Fair magazine. Just a reminder of how incredibly lovely and sexy this woman is. (Yeah, I know she did some full-frontal nudity in a few early films, but sometimes less is more, and a well-composed still can tell more of a story than a screen grab from a video of a film.)Just one more reason to miss this show.

You weren't supposed to see those three words. It seems like I ain't seen you for a long time for some reason. Thanks for the link, and yes, I'm going to miss the show as well.
