Thanks to Tivo, I was finally able to catch up on this past weekend's programming - the season premiere of True Blood and the series finale of Pushing Daisies (cry). True Blood was, of course, deliciously entertaining. We found Lafayette still alive, but chained in a dungeon below Fangtasia, at the mercy of Eric. The sight of Eric (Alexander Skarsgard) with his hair in foil, while killing the redneck, was a hilarious detail. Michelle Forbes is a great addition to the cast - I think I'm going to make "Nobody needed towels," my new catch phrase. Based upon the books, it's unlikely she'll make it to the third season, which always seems to happen with the actress. She also had roles on the second seasons of 24 and Battlestar Galactica, but didn't make it to the third season. I wish just once she'd be a permanent fixture on a series, as I always find her entertaining.
The last episode of Pushing Daisies also aired this weekend, and I'm still saddened by its departure (I'm also mad, damn you ABC!). The series ended on one hell of a cliffhanger, with Vivian discovering Lily had had an affair with her former fiance and Chuck was the result, plus Chuck finally revealed herself to Vivian and Lily, arriving at their doorstep with Ned. Shocker. In a brief epilogue, the series told that Emerson was reunited with his daughter, and Olive fell in love with Randy Mann and opened her own macaroni and cheese restaurant. We were then treated to an aerial tour of Coeur d'Coeurs and all the sights the characters visited throughout the series, ending with Digby running though a field of daisies. I'm gonna miss you Pushing Daisies! At least it's confirmed creator Bryan Fuller will do a twelve issue comic series, which will essentially be the shows third season. Let's pray a movie will also be in the works somewhere down the line.
