More on Pushing Daisies

On tonight's episode of Pushing Daisies, wonderfully titled "Bitches," Emerson Cod has a dream that leads him to a significant clue in the mystery of the polygamous dog breeder. The dream is a brilliantly done, near-shot-for-shot remake of this scene, from Alfred Hitchcock's Vertigo:



Also, I haven't seen anyone else mention it about this series, but I love it when Sy Richardson shows up as the Coroner, who is now developing a business relationship with Emerson. In the annals of awesomeness, of course, Sy Richardson is probably best known as the repo man Lite in Alex Cox's Repo Man. Richardson was a mainstay in most of Cox's best films, especially Straight to Hell (he also has a quick but memorable cameo in Sid and Nancy, where he hands the lovely couple some methadone at a clinic).

The verdict: Pushing Daisies still continues to be great.
