Thanks for starting the thread, Brit. It looks like a good episode!

And yay for Paul Reubens! I've been waiting for this

Hee yeah... I just have to wait 'til my mother heads to bed and then I can watch it

Another creative episode.

But will someone please tell me why they kept refering to the small individual size pies as cup pies? They're tarts! Have Americans never used that term? Weird.

Another creative episode? Good deal!

Hmm...that's odd that they referred to them as cup pies. Since I haven't seen the episode yet, I'll have to see if I can figure out why they are saying it that way. Yes, they are known as tarts in America.

Olive: Oh No they didn't.

LOVED this episode! As usual, Emerson has the best lines and the funniest. Ned/Chuck are as cute as ever. Olive`?? Verty funny....and showed very much skin.... :-)

Same, I've been excited since they first announced it. I can't wait for tonight's episode. I'm very jealous of everyone that's already seen it.

Haha, I didn't know PeeWee was going to be on PD. Makes the episode even awesomer

**baileycat** · 11-21-2007, 03:42 PM

He was really great I have to say, and it looks like he's coming back since the story seems to be continuing. Oh and Ellen sings again! Love her.

I'm watching it again tonight if I can.

Well obviously its a play on the word cupcakes but come on, they're tarts. It's not like its a new concept. I would have assumed the Pie-Hole had already had them on the menu. Guess not.

I enjoyed the episode. I LOL a few times. I liked Emerson's line of "Death by scratch-n-sniff. Whatever happened to people shotting each other?"

The end was cute with Ned and Chuck, but then Pee-Wee got all freaky with the sweater. Olive was funny, too. This show is so much fun!

**keep no score** · 11-21-2007, 08:22 PM

^ I actually didn't even think about it being a play on the word cupcakes.

I guess the Pie-Hole isn't as up-to-date as it should be. Although, Ned added them in tonight's episode.

What a lovely episode! I truly enjoyed watching it. I hope all of you do, as well!

Some stand-out moments:

The re-occurring line at the beginning of the episode, "Death by scratch and sniff." That line just had me giggling. So random and unique and creative!

The mystery throughout the episode really kept me entertained. I always try to figure out who actually did the crime. I was beginning to wonder if the author was really doing it to himself. I guess I was right! hehe. Pee Wee did a good job tonight. I wonder how many episodes he will be back for. I forget what I read in the article that talked about his appearance.

Chuck and Olive have a budding friendship, which is great. The scene when Chuck started to cry and Olive stated that they weren't at the level in their friendship for her to cry like that was hysterical. It was interesting how Ned felt a bit uncomfortable with their friendship though. It makes sense for him to feel that way.

Yay! for the aunts swimming again! It's wonderful how they are starting to discover what makes them happy again. Good for them!

Lee Pace wins me over even more after every episode. (Say that five times fast ... haha). His facial expressions, the way he delivers those complicated scenes with a forever amount of dialogue, and goodness ... he's just magnificent. Oh and how cute was he after he got out of the decontamination room?

His tousled hair was just adorable.

Have fun discussing!

I love it when Ned gets all nervous and doesn't know what to do/say. When him and Olive ran into each other..I was cracking up, because it was so awkward..and they both played that very well.

His hair was very cute in that scene.

**afrocurl** · 11-21-2007, 08:51 PM

The cup-pies was a bit weird, but I just went with Chuck having funny words for things because she was so sheltered.

Olive was showing lots of skin tonight, but it worked.

I love Lilly and Vivian swimming at the end.

That villain was off his rocker, but that's nothing new.

PEEWEE!! Though, I don't like that he has Chuck's sweater now. That will only lead bad places.

Moonie · 11-21-2007, 09:32 PM

The song was loooove *swoon*

And I'm so glad they've finally mentioned Chuck's mother... now I'm more intrigued
