First touch, life. Second touch...

Flist! If you haven't done it yet, you have to watch the premiere of Pushing Daisies, you have to! Even if you end up not liking it - omg why wouldn't you like it, why? - at least you'll have tried and it'll make me happy.

This is gonna be my New Favourite Show - as in, one more show to add to the loooong list of my Favourite Shows. I mean, if you've been on my flist for more than, say, an hour? You'll have realised that I don't believe in 'replacing shows', only in 'adding shows'; well, Pushing Daisies is the newest one.

That first episode got me, hook line and sinker. It's... it's magical, is what it is. Magical and funny and sweet and sad and adorable and just so different from what we usually get on tv. I'm utterly charmed.

Ned is adorable, Chuck is made of awesome, as is Emerson, and Pink & Flower Mural Lady cracks me up. As do Chuck's aunts. Oh! And I love Mr Narrator too! *has mucho love for the whole thing*

Also a comment. So. Chuck's father died because Ned resurrected his mother, which is already awful enough, especially considering she dies for good, in the end but, okay, she got her first taste of death because Ned resurrected a fly? That, right here, is so fucked up and so brilliant all rolled into one, wow! [ETA: Ok so after watching the ep again, I don't think it happened because of the fly. If it had, then Ned's Mother would have died the minute after he'd brought the fly back to life, right? And it was longer than that, apparently. Oh, well, never mind - the whole thing is still brilliant, anyway *g*]

I don't know how I'm gonna wait til the show premieres for real now *wide eyes* Incidentally, I need to find myself a PD icon *nods*

And I've also watched the latest Kyle XY and Kyle got his first kiss! Awwww!

And! I've watched the last three episodes of Doctor Who and John Simm owns my soul! Which, dude, I didn't wait DW to tell me how brilliant the man is; hi, Life on Mars fangirl here *waves* but, still, he was absolutely fantastic in this new role of his ♥ ♥

I love Kyle. He and Amanda are actually kind of cute, although I think he and Declan are soulmates. Although, as much as I love the show, if they shill for Sour Patch Kids even one more time, I might be forced to throw something at the screen!

SPN and now Kyle XY! You have great taste :-)

And hee so I'm not the only one who thinks Kyle and Amanda are actually kind of cute? Because, yeah, they kinda are *g*

although I think he and Declan are soulmates

Oh, I like the way you think :-)

Guess they're not really subtle here, either, right?

I love shows with all the pretty boys- Smallville, Supernatural, Kyle XY, anything by Joss Whedon, etc. And I really do like Kyle with Amanda. I like that she's a genuinely nice person, and she and Kyle are really sweet together. But I think he has more chemistry with Declan, though.

During the second and third seasons of Smallville, we used to call the character of Pete, "Product Placement Pete", because it seemed like he was shilling for every product you could think of. I think Kyle XY is more than catching up, though.

I agree *nods*

Their dynamics is definitely different *g*

I was talking about this with someone else, that I love being an American, because I get to watch the shows right when they come out. You know, I don't even know where you live. You're not an American, right?

Well, thanks to the wonder of the internets, I only have to wait for a day to be able to download and watch my shows so it's not so bad :-)

And, nope, I'm not an American. I'm French, hi *kisses on the cheeks*

*Kisses back* Cool, my first French friend! I have online friends from quite a few European countries, even Croatia, but never anyone from France before. I feel so glamorous now.
