NED
(Lee Pace)
“Pushing Daisies’’
He was the pie maker in this fairy tale of a TV show, and he could bring a person back to life with one touch - but kill them again forever with a second touch. Such hard rules! Such obvious metaphor! Ned was a sweet, fragile, emotionally guarded guy trying to make his way into a more engaging life of love. I say we should pull him out of the “Daisies’’ wonderland, put him in the kitchen at a contemporary bakery, and see if he can come out of his childlike stupor. Drop all the quirky symbolism and the precious narration and show us “Ned for Real.’’ With his dog Digby, of course.
