History Headscratchers / PushingDaisies

* This has been clarified (a little), as of "Bad Habits": they WERE family, but not biologically. Charles Charles' dad married Lily and Vivian's mom, thereby making them Charleses. (Chuck also states that all three kids (Charles, Lily, and Vivian) were already in their twenties at the time.)

** Of course, the more horrifying implication here is that Chuck and Digby ''wouldn't'' die and become a disfigured but "living" corpse, like all the victims Ned revives[[hottip:* :(The experiment wouldn't be hard for young Ned to try: get two rats, kill one, revive it thus killing the other, and attack the revived rat to see what happens)]]. Even if those revived have regained their natural healing, it's entirely possible they could get "stuck" in a state from which they can't heal or be surgery'd better... forever... or until Ned re-deads them.

* [[FridgeLogic Isn't it]] [[NightmareFuel disturbing]] that anyone who eats at the Pie Hole is eating delicious, mashed and cooked, but still-living fruit? Normally, if if the fruit is sill sort-of alive being fresh-picked, it would be considered dead by the time it's chewed up, and especially after it's been digested.

* Because The Piemaker touched DoctorHorriblesSingAlongBlog, bringing it to life, during the WGA strike. EquivalentExchange dictates that another awesome work must die in its place, and that work happened to be PushingDaisies. The time limit for works, rather than one minute, is approximately one season.

** I've put it on the main page under DidNotDoTheResearch.

[[WMG:Why didn't young Ned touch Digby again between the time he reanimated him and the time he figured out that to touch again would be permanent re-death?]]

* Well, depending on the accident, he would not be able to bring her back to the point of walking among regular people. You've seen the victims he wakes up in the morgue.

* Ned seems to be a bit neurotic [with justification!] -- he probably has been very careful of Digby since then.

*** I can't imagine whoever was involved with the romantic entanglement stuck around very long after ''a bearskin rug came back to life underneath her''. She probably [[{{Discworld}} ran, very fast, and didn't stop running until she reached the docks, where a boat was leaving on the tide, and ran up the gangplank just before it was pulled up, and became a seawoman, and died three years later when an armadillo fell on her head in a far-off country, and in all that time never said what she'd seen...]]

*** [[WildMassGuessing Clearly]], his touch doesn't treat all kingdoms equally. It brings dead animals and plants back to life, but kills living fungus.

[[WMG:Why does Ned have to use rotten fruit anyway?!]]

[[WMG:Why didn't Ned discover his power until he was nine?]] Had he never touched anything dead before - old leaves, rotten fruit, dead beetle?

* Maybe it didn't ''work'' until he was nine.

* Actually the fruits are just dead from decaying, It's probably just part of the rule where the fruit rots for the others to be ripe again.

* They told Chuck that they were her aunts and her mother died giving birth to her. Chuck could be excused for buying into it, but Vivian must have known that she didn't have a sister who died when Chuck was born. Why did she think that they were taking in her ex-fiancé's daughter? She says in "Kerplunk" that she must have known deep-down inside that [[spoiler: Lily was Chuck's mother]], but how did she rationalize it to herself?
** Vivian and Lily are Charles' (Chuck's father's) step-sisters. Vivian knew that Charles cheated on her with someone and had a daughter, and thought that the mother died in childbirth.

<<|ItJustBugsMe|>>

* I have imagined someone repeatedly killing someone with a DeathNote and Ned continually reviving them. Would it work? Let the {{fanwank}} commence...!

* I always put it down to Chucks personality, she was never very cautious.

** I can't recall but I believe it was stated somewhere that as long as it retains it's alive shape (or most of it, seeing as how the woman cut in half could still talk) that it comes back, if not then it doesn't

** The fuction of fruit is to be edible.

* He went back to roaming the space-time continuum. He's a [[DoctorWho Time Lord]]. Didn't ya get the memo?

* In the eleventh episode of the second season, Ned brought a stuffed rhino back to life.
