I love the internets! (And hate ABC!)

A few thoughts --

1. It couldn't have ended any other way given the time limits, and I thought it was lovely (if a bit hasty for obvious reasons), and I cried.

2. Oh, wow, that overhead shot at the end? That swung over the countryside and hit every single place they've gone to since the series started? That was AMAZING.

3. I adore Simone. I was never quite sure if she was too bitchy for me to like, but after the second-to-last episode, Emerson/Simone forever! Woohoo!

4. Is it wrong that what made me happier than anything else in the last three episodes was that Emerson FINALLY got "The Littlest Gumshoe" published? YAY!

5. After that last episode, I love Lily and Vivian so damn much. I mean, I did before, but AW. AWWWWWWW.

I want Simone/Lila. Even if I have to write it myself.

Pushing Daisies -- never given time to jump the shark, so they went out with a shark doing the jumping. Which I, personally, think is kind of cool.

And, yeah. You could see the ending being tacked on far too early, but that didn't make it any less beautiful.

With the exception of everyone going their separate ways in the last two minutes, this could have served as a simple season finale.

I flailed for Ned and Olive (for the first time ever, I want fanfic for this show...goddamn shipping instinct), and I flailed for Chuck and her aunts.

I also flailed for the whole Emerson Cod thing. I finally liked Simone, once she showed some vulnerability and stopped being a relentless too-bitchy caricature. Rather, this had two very similar women who had the domineering bitchy thing both growling it out over Emerson, which says a lot about who he's attracted to. I also loved Simone & Olive tag-teaming Lilah. HUZZAH!

My only significant disappointment is that we never got to see Olive's reaction to learning about Ned's powers.

The last three episodes got me to a point where they could have ended the series with Ned with Chuck or Olive and I would have been thrilled. They both share different things with him and both relationships are awesome.

I think I gave them leeway about not telling Olive because there was only three episodes, and I would have loved for her to know, but I don't think I would have been happy if Olive had found out during 2x11 and only had two episodes to suss it out. It's such a huge thing I'd rather they not touch rather than race over it, you know?

Once Simone softened up a bit and we got a gander at Lilah, it was like something about Emerson just clicked. I mean, WE know he's a softie underneath it all, but he needs a growling domineering bitch to draw it out, and then he turns around and draws the softie out of her. Awww. I'm gonna miss that man. *pouts*

[fyrdrakken]

They start airing in the US at the end of this month, but they've already aired overseas and are torrentable if you do that sort of thing.

ohhh thanks for the heads up! I'll remember to record them now.
Am not opposed to torrent but my laptop has died, and i believe it is bad form to download whimsical shows onto other ppl's computers...
