Pushing Daisies - Ned eats pie?

[Captain Infinity]

In the last episode of Pushing Daisies the narrator mentioned that Ned,
upset because of the recent events that cast him as a murderer, had a
piece of pie and went to bed.

BUT! In a previous episode, it was said that Ned could not eat the pies
he made because the touch of his mouth made the revitalized fruit rot in
his mouth.

Hmmm.

In any case, I have come to the conclusion that Ned *must* be a
vegetarian, because if he put any meat in his mouth it would come back
to life, and ugh, eating live flesh? Gross.

It has not been said ever that ALL of his pies are made from
revitalized fruit. We have seen Chuck make Pies. It's also possible
that Olive does as well.

It's not out of the realm of possibility that Chuck makes Pies for
Ned.

For that matter, we now know that touching *anything* dead, like a
pile of autumn leaves, restores life, he shouldn't be able to wear
leather belts or shoes. Or maybe cotton, either. And what happens if
the touches wooden furniture? Does it sprout twigs?

Touch once, alive again, touch again, dead forever. It's not like his
belt is going to be mooing everytime he loops his pants.

Once would be enough. For instance, he couldn't handle new belts or
shoes when shopping.

Why not? Its not like a zombie movie. What would the difference be
between a strip of leather, all processed, tanned and etc between it
being "dead" then alive, then almost instantaneously dead again?

Try it out. Tap once, then tap again. How fast can you do it? Remember,
the MINUTE is a "no-longer-than" not an "at-least-as."

Probably a pie made by Chuck. I doubt that the Pie Hole makes ALL their
pies from born again fruit.

Don't eat rare steaks, I take it? Besides, remember, touch it once,
alive, touch it again, dead again. A double poke to his steak and he is
good to go. It seems that CHEWING his food would also solve that
problem.

Evangelistic fruit. Now that's a mental picture. I wonder if there's some
kind of schism between apples and the berries. Orthodox citrus?

It is all born again to die again. What good is a pie if no one eats
it. What is more questionable is the "Live forever" bit postulated by
the long lived Digby. Does the fruit live on in a pie-eaters stomach,
and what would that mean for digestion? Or for feces, for that matter.

That's because it was unexpected. He didn't know that he was biting
into one of his own pies. It's not like every time he sits down to
dinner, that he is going to be surprised by his food. He's had this
"power" for a while.

That assumes that the pies he eats used revitalized fruit. So long as
he hadn't touched it before, it should be alright. Yes, the concept
of biting into a hamburger and having it moo though...

Then again, thinking about this show is not a good idea in the first
place.

Easy to cover. Just claim to have OCD and touch his food (twice) before
he eats it. Weird, but not much weirder than the show.

That would be weird, going around telling everyone that you have OCD. I
don't see that too much at all on MONK, just people looking at him
oddly. Heck, if anyone asks, Ned's just checking the temperature of his
food.

Just have to tell those that ask. Those that notice and don't are
probably not going to remember it long enough to be a problem.

Exactly. Notice that whenever he touches a corpse, they revive,
but do not reconstitute. If one had had his vocal chords ripped
apart, he wouldn't be able to talk. So by analogy, a hamburger
might suddenly become "alive" again, but it wouldn't turn into
a cow.

It occurred to me whether processes like tanning and curing
would affect the revivification. Likewise embalming. Which brings
up the question: Chuck was in her coffin and ready to be buried,
so was she embalmed? I'm trying to remember if it was established
that she was Jewish, because I don't believe that they embalm
their dead.

Found this dialogue from the Pie-lette:

Emerson Cod: Been watching the news lately?
Ned: Yeah. There doesn't seem like much going on in the world besides a
dead girl on a boat.
Emerson Cod: A lot going on with that dead girl.
Ned: Is that so?
Emerson Cod: Mmhmm. Fifty-thousand dollars worth of that's so. You
interested in the conversation?
Ned: I could be persuaded.
Emerson Cod: Well you better be persuaded quick because the dead girl's
about to go in the ground.
Ned: They just pulled her out of the water.
Emerson Cod: Jewish. Christians leave 'em layin around - Jews gotta get
'em buried.

He has revived someone who had been buried for years and was intact enough
to have obviously been embalmed.

Actually, there's an easy way around it. The magic only works on more or
less intact bodies/items. Ground beef, not a problem. A stepped on,
smashed flat strawberry doesn't come back if touched a week later. Leather,
having been processed, doesn't suddenly start squeezing (it does get
stretched out during the process).

Hmmm, that is true. Well, he never actually said explicitly that the rug
came to life, he just kind of lead them to believe it had. He might have
done that to get them to stop asking him about something he didn't want to
talk about. Bit of a fanwank though.

If Digby is any indication, the fruit should tend to stay fresh. Pretty

Why? If he touches it again, it's rotten and tossed away. As far as
baked pies, pie servers (not just Ned) are actually TRAINED to not poke
the pie with their fingers.

I don't have to catch if I don't want to! Singers don't have to sing.
Screen writers don't have to write, and can therefore go out on strike.
Dancers don't have to dance. I therefore wonder why Ned can't exert his
will to not use his talent.

Why can't Ned simply turn off his talent when he doesn't want
to revive something?

It is not something that can be turned off. His choices are
touch or do not. There is no "I didn't mean to."

Why is Ned unable to turn off his talent?

Because the whole friggin' premise of the show is that he doesn't
have any control over it!

How would one "turn off" a talent, anyway? "Here, catch this!" "No,
sorry, I've 'turned off' my catching talent."

I don't have to catch if I don't want to! Singers don't have to sing.
Screen writers don't have to write, and can therefore go out on strike.
Dancers don't have to dance. I therefore wonder why Ned can't exert his
will to not use his talent.

A "talent" is something learned. What Ned does (The TOUCH, not the
touching) is like breathing. He has the free will not to reach out and
touch someone, but his power is still there. Can you choose not to
breathe?

More like the beating of his heart or the love he has for Chuck. It's
not a power or a talent, it just is. Whether it's a blessing or curse,
is left to the reader as an exercise.

I dare you to exert your will to stop having your heart beat. Or to stop
the electro-chemical activity in your nervous system. Or to stop seeing
(and no, closing your eyelids does not count). Or stop disgesting food.
Get back to us when you've done any of those.

Ned can't control it. But he doesn't make all pies with rotten fruit,
only the ones he sells. If he makes one for himself, he obviously
wouldn't use dead fruit.

There are other types of pies besides fruit pies such as cream pies.

One has to wonder how healthy it is to be eating undead fruit pie.

Hair and fingernails aren't really 'dead', they're simply nonliving.
As for Skin, such as dandruff, he would come into contact with such
things all the time, leaving a trail of living cells, that may, if we
interpret Chucks case, live forever, and not simply die again, on
their own.
Thus; this may be a serious pathogenic sort of problem... Especially
if the cells are in any way active towards other "nonimmortal"
cells...
If we're going to examine why Ned has this power, it may be that the
simplest explanation is that aliens from another planet, sent a small
probe here to give one person this ability, and then all the life on
the target world would eventually become a modified strain of immortal
alien life...
But--! because Life in a magickal thing, it has to be balanced out,
and the aliens have no control over that aspect of it...

So Ned doesn't dare touch Chuck again because she would die for good. To get around
this problem, I suggest Virtual Reality sex. I read in a Time Magazine a few years
ago about a shirt that could transmit the sensations of a hug. I see no reason why
that technology couldn't be extended to other parts of the body!

Fingernails and hair are by definition dead cells. But that's beside
the point. His powers are magic, otherwise Chuck and Digby would be
barfing e-coli nonstop 24/7.

they grow outwards.

No, I am not "worried". I was asking him how he defines the death of
fruit, seeing as how he stated Ned's pies would be safe for Ned to eat
if made with "fresh" fruit. The question is about the continuum of
"fresh" to "rotten"; at some point the fruit must be considered "dead".
Alternatively I could have asked what he means by "fresh".

From his answer, however, it's clear he has no idea what he's talking
about, and was just exercising his fingers.
