A Whale Of A Time

Hello Faithful Aquacade Readers ,

The Time has come.
This is the last Aquacade post ever.

We will be tweaking the site slightly - so it becomes more of a Archive site than a website that is still getting updated.

Even though we will not be posting anymore news posts, you can still reply to old ones and hold lil' conversations/forums in the comments box.

We aren't gonna leave you with no news what so ever ,though, so we've rounded up the following news to celebrate our final post ...


Kristin Chenoweth will be rather busy in the upcoming months with a place as a guest judge on American Idol (http://www.google.com/hostednews/ukpress/article/ALeqM5j-YDLku8XxF7obX8z8QfF6sjKTyA) and also being The Host of The Critics Choice Awards (http://www.theatermania.com/new-york/news/12-2009/kristin-chenoweth-to-host-critics-choice-awards_23542.html.)

In other Kristin Chenoweth news , her episode of Glee premieres in the UK on the 1st February on channel E4. It is repeated on Sunday the 7th February @ 5:30pm on Channel 4. She plays April Rhodes , the title character in the episode 'The Rhodes Not Taken' !


Petitions - There have been many. But few actually make a difference. Their has been the Bring Back Pushing Daisies petition that 80,000,000 people signed. Over 500 have singed a petition for a Daisies Movie and countless Pies , Daisies and letters have been sent to the ABC (Network Daisies aired on and also the channel that killed the show.)
But is it actually worth getting involved in ?

Well , Why not ?
One signature could make a BIG Different. If everyone just signed once - the power of the fans might just push through! Visit these sites if you wish to contribute.

(for example - I Chose D , 3 times.) Then when you've done that you will scroll down the site to the very bottom of the stylish side bar (if we may say so ourself!) . Read the little note and it will tell you what Daisies character you are most like - for example - Mostly D's then you are Aunt Lily. Oh and by the way D isn't Lily - Lily isn't in it unfortunately. It's between Emerson , Chuck , Ned and Olive. So , who are you most like ?

PIGEON is THE GOLDEN EPISODE

Hello Aquacade Readers ,

Last night , The Golden Episode dramatically ended with Season 1 episode PIGEON winning the competition by only one vote!

6 Parts , 3 Rounds , 5 Weeks and 35 Votes later PIGEON has been crowned the ultimate Pushing Daisies Episode. Here's a little look at the Episode ...


PUSHING DAISIES : PIGEON -

THE GOLDEN EPISODE


Season 1 , Episode 4 , entitled Pigeon , was first broadcast on Wednesday the 24TH October 2007 at 8pm on ABC. The Episode stared Lee Pace and Anna Friel along with Guest Stars Jayma Mays (Glee) as Elsita/Elsa and Dash Milhok (The Day After Tomorrow) as Lefty Lem.

The story was Directed by Adam Kane and Written by Rina Mimoun.
The Main plot was based on a pigeon crashing into The Pie Hole window. The events that follow are rather spectacular , but we don't want to spoil it for you if you have not seen this episode (and if not - why ? It's the best PD Episode for Pete's sake ! Buy it along with the rest of season one in a physical copy or on iTunes separately.)

Here are a couple of the reviews Pigeon has been given by the press ...

Comical

Hello Aquacade readers ,

Bryan Fuller has recently said this about the up-coming 12 part comic series to start hitting the shops in early 2010:

"The dangling threads from the series with Chuck's father and Ned's father and the pocket watches are all dealt with, not secondarily, but there's a whole new story that happens when there is a flash flood in the cemetery and all the bodies wash past Ned's and it's Ned versus a thousand corpses. That's the story of the comic book."

So , all that said will it be worth the wait , and will you be buying the issues ?

Also , If you have any speculation or ideas for the Comic Series leave it in the comment box below...
