DAMN IT DAMN IT DAMN IT!

I really, really hope this isn't true and some sort of last minute miracle is pulled off. But even if Pushing Daisies knocks the ratings out of the park on Wednesday, I'm still pessimistic enough to think it's a lost cause. I just don't understand it, considering it's had at least solid ratings not to mention more than enough critical acclaim to shake a stick at.

If it is true and episode 13 is our last, then I don't see how they're going to get any kind of closure on the show in such a short time. Not with all the new threads just introduced - Ned's half-brothers, Ned's father, Chuck knowing about Lily, Emerson's mother and his lost daughter and now his relationship with Simone, the possibility of Olive getting together with Alfredo, etc.

*sigh* Off to be depressed now.

People here and at TWOP keep saying that ABC is cutting this season short, but giving them a third season that will start filming in May. I don't quite see how that works, unless they're planning to get on the boat and use shorter, BBC-like seasons for shows like this. I could totally live with that if they do this, but I can't imagine the ratings getting any better if they do it.

Exactly. It would be like creating the same delay the writers' strike caused, and that didn't exactly do them any favors. Not even filming until May? That'd be a HUGE hiatus between "seasons".

Oh hell. I have been loving this season; don't take it away now!

I'm just so bummed about this. :(

I've been hearing ominous rumors for a few weeks now, and I was *really* worried when it went off the air for the past, what, 3 weeks? But this is the first definite thing I've heard. It sucks. >:-(
