So lately, I've been watching Pushing Daisies on ABC. Or actually, I've been watching it online on the weekends because i don't have enough time otherwise, but that's not the point.
I suppose I should give a summary...but really you can get it from watching the pilot episode using the ABC full episode player. And really, the plot isn't the point either. What I find really like, is the way Ned, the Piemaker (or Lee Pace) looks at Charolate/Chuck (Anna Friel). That look of almost bliss, of happiness, that "As you wish" sort of look, is so positively adorable, it's almost maddening.
Perhaps it's because I'm a hopeless romantic, Maybe that's what makes me a little more susceptible to perfect situations and happy endings. Just seeing him, that shy, quiet, almost nervous smile...his eyes almost sparkle every time he sees her. And it's not a cheesy smile either. Well, I suppose it is....maybe that's because each episode is such a nice little package right now (I mean, there's only two...they want to make you interested before they start throwing in 3 episode plot arcs). But still, there's just something about that look that makes me fall in love with him too.
Or perhaps my newfound facination with this look of love reveals the inner conflict within me, with so much love to give but no one to give it to. Perhaps this also reveals that I am starving for love, but happy to see my own fantasies and secret loves played out on screen. Or....I might just be a poor, lovesick teenager full of hormones, cliches, unrequited love, naivete, and an extra dash of that "boy-crazy" gene.
Or perhaps Lee Pace is a very good actor and the people at ABC are just very good at spotting talent and coming up with interesting plots... Or maybe because Pace...(or can I call him Lee? Am i supposed to write my blog like a journal or a newspaper?)...is rather attractive in the first place...so a fantastic smile/look is just icing on the cake.
Whatever. This didn't seem to flow the way I wanted. But no sense deleting it and trying to start over. Might as well get my 50 points and hope I do better next time.
