* It may seem like arbitrary skepticism at first that Ned doesn't believe in ghosts, but he's working on solid evidence that only he can have. The people who Ned resurrects have no recollection of any kind of afterlife, no matter how long-dead they've been. If ghosts existed, wouldn't alive-again people remember being a ghost?

* In "Bitter Sweets", Ned tells Chuck "don't go over to the Dark Side". In an earlier episode, his swordfighting skills are explained as his having wanted to be a Jedi when he was a kid, so the mention of the Dark Side is just another example of his being a ''StarWars'' fan. Not earth-shattering, but an excellent bit of continuity.

* I already liked ''Pushing Daisies'', but I did think that the dialogue occasionally pushed it in terms of [[TastesLikeDiabetes sweetness]]. Then I realized that the leads talk in what might seem to be an overly affectionate way because it's almost the only form of affection they ''can'' show each other, not being able to touch. Knowing that, it's only natural that their dialogue would sound odd compared to the way most couples talk.

** Also, considering that both of them led extremely sheltered lives before meeting each other again, it's a bit easier to accept. In fact, ''Pushing Daisies'' inspires a lot of these moments, when you look at the TV and say "Oh, come on, that's too sappy to be believed!" but then you realize that you're smiling too much to mind. (AmazinglyEnough)

* Ned's touch, as long as it's skin to skin, brings back the dead. Which begs the question of whether or not Ned is even capable of dying.
* Digby's longevity suggests anything he brings back is immortal unless he touches it again. What does that mean for Chuck's future?
** It is specifically stated that it's possible to die again after being brought back (we see Chuck in danger a few times and we're obviously meant to take it seriously.) Digby's longevity more likely suggests that they don't age, and perhaps therefore can't die of old age or natural causes. Which opens up a whole new can of worms...
[[AC:FridgeLogic]]
* So, Digby is a loving pet, but a tad neurotic because Ned can't pet him. In "Bitches," it is specifically stated that Ned feels bad that he can't pet his loyal dog, either. So, why doesn't Ned just invest in a pair of gloves (or don that beekeeper suit) and pet Digby silly?
* He actually DOES pet Digby quite a bit. He just doesn't pet him with his bare hands. Which may be the issue.

* I was watching the credits, when I found myself staring at the daisy and the bee. Then it hit me - it's Ned and Chuck. Notice how the bee never touches the flower? Chuck was a beekeeper, and Ned, well, you know. Nice symbolism, man. --{{Tropers/Aluminumticket}}

* During that whole thing about Chuck moving out, Ned was quite distraught. Understandable under nearly any circumstances, but it was only recently I realized how really, truly ''alone'' he had been his entire life, and how much Chuck served to rectify that. The idea of her leaving him, even just to a room across the hall, brought with it the fear he might be left lonely and miserable again. - {{Tropers/Maxwell_Edison}}
* When Ned and Randy had their conversation about Superman and Clark Kent, it seemed to me that Randy had given this a lot of thought for someone who didn't know about Ned's powers. Then it hit me that Randy was talking about ''himself''--because he's just the sort of regular guy that Clark Kent (or Ned) would be if he didn't have superpowers. The line "nobody gave a crap about Clark Kent" suddenly speaks volumes about how lonely and ignored he's always felt. And, as the narrator points out, Olive loves Ned even though she only knows the "Clark Kent" side, which makes it all the sweeter that she ends up with Randy in the end. -- Tropers/StarBright
