It's 2021 and I'm STILL sad that this beautiful show got cancelled! Where's Ned's touch when we need it? :(

[@StealthMaster86]

If I had Ned's powers I would not eat meat either.

[@imNilufer]

He's a vegetarian for good reason. Imagine if he were to put any meat in his mouth. It'll just come alive again. Imagine a random wiggling piece of meat that's alive in your mouth. And then what if the rest of the body that meat belonged to were to come alive as well? If someone was eating like the head of a lamb or like the tongue or heart or other organ - that wouldn't be pretty...

[@TheBrandiElizabeth]

can't believe i have never thought of this. totally brilliant.

[@mayamagination]

wow Singer is smarter than I thought .. huh

[@Frontdesk_tragedy]

Man this coronavirus quarantine has me sooo..yeah...that then "wiggling piece of meat in your mouth" was a good thought

[@squishygrumpkin]

And! Something nearby, even small, would die. He doesn't like killing things so it wouldn't be worth it to even touch the meat twice.

[@amosanguis]

Thranduil - what are you doin' outside of Mirkwood?!

[@JBlooey]

There is a complex story behind it involving Legolas. ...Legolas was riding along the woods and one day he found a baby whaped in colth so he got off his horse and went to the baby and then Legolas said"who left you here little one"and then the baby just cryed and then Legolas pick her up and hold her and then the baby stoped crying and then Legolas said"your name is going be Laura"and then Legolas and the baby went onto the horse and went back to the castle where he said"father mother I found this little baby in the woods and then Legolas mother got up and walked down and said"how can people put baby in the woodsand to die".Then Legolas father said"we are going to keep her"and then Legolas was happy for someriseing. 10 Years Later Legolas got up and went into Laura's room and said"good moring"and then Laura said "good moring too".Then Legolas said"whats a matter"and then Laura said"Legolas I want to know how to ride a horse".Then Legolas said"Ok"and then Legolas said"first you get dresses and have something to eat and then we will go for a horse ride lesson".Mean while Strider and Gandalf was rideing towards where Legolas lived and then Strider said"Gandalf I did not know Legolas had a sister"and then Gandalf said"I did not know aswell".Mean While at Mondor the dark lord was planing to kidnap the princess but not the boss of the Orcs came and said"I'll get her for you sir"and then the Dark lord said"yes you can".

Legolas said"do you want to stay for a night"and then Gandalf and Strider said"yes please"and then they had tea and went to the night Legolas ask the gards to keep an eye on Laura's while the Orcs climed up the window and grabed Laura and then Laura woke up and screamed and then the gard went into her room and saw lots of Orcs and then Legolas ran down the Legolas said"where is Laura"and then the gards said"the Orcs took her". Mean while the Orcs was back at Mondor and then Laura said"put me down"and then the Orcs did and then the Dark lord came out of the fire and said"welcome Laura"and then Laura looked at him and said"no it can't be"and then she tryed to run away but the Orcs got the Dark lord said"put her into the cell and bet her and also do what ever you want with her but do not kill her".Then the Orcs took her to the cell and trow her into the cell and then they shut the go up and went to the window and looked out and she was wishing that Legolas or someone will save while back at the castle of Milkwood Legolas was getting the army ready to go and save while Laura was sitting on the floor and then the door opened and it was some Orcs and the Orcs tied Laura with some chains and then one of the Orcs striped her and then he raped her and then Laura said"go away you bastard".Then another Orc came with a whip and whiped her hard and then the Orcs all togeter bet her almost to death and then the Dark Lord came in with a tube of Posion and then he injeted into Laura. Few hours later Legolas and the others was on the way to Mondor to save princess while in the cell where Laura was been kept Laura woke up and she looked on her body there was blood and scars she only could move her right arm but not her Laura said"I feel so cold"and then she can't see very the frount gates of Mondor was Legolas and the others and then they said"let Laura go"and then the Dark lord said"no"and then Legolas said"right lisson I'll will clim up to the cell and get Laura and you and the others will find another way Strider said"alright" and then Legolas started to clim while Strider and the others ran into Mondor and went into the said"I'll will go and kill the Dark lord and you and the others go and help Legolas".Strdier said"becareful"and then Gandalf said"I will don't you worry about me". Mean while Legolas got to the cell where Laura said"Laura are you in there"and then Laura said"Oh Legolas you finally came"and then Legolas said"are you alright"and then Laura said"no I am not alright"and then Legolas said"they bet you up and raped you also the Dark lord gave you the posion"and then Laura said"how did you know that".Then Legolas said"when I was your age they did the samething to me".Then Laura said"can you get me out of here"and then Legolas said"ok stand back"and then he ran back and ran towards the door and knock it down. Laura said"wow"and then Legolas looked and saw she was coved in Blood and scars also she was naked"and then Legolas said"why they did it to you not me"and then the Orcs came and said"because she got a power and she can distoy us all the bad guys". Then the fright began Legolas got out his bow and arrows andstarted fireing at Legolas saw some swords and said"Strider is that you"and then Strider said"yes it is"and then Legolas and the others started to kill the while Gandalf is have a fun time trying to distory the Dark said"I wish Frodo and Merry and Pippen and Sam was here"and then a sword came out of nowhere and said"some wished us here"and then Gandalf turned and said"Frodo baggins why you doing here".Then Frodo said"we came to help you and also we got rid of the ring"and then the Dark Lord said"oh no"and then the magical powers from Gandalf distoryed the Dark lord.

[@sweet7655]

Whoah nice story you got there

[@bemusedbandersnatch2069]

For me I saw this first and always watched Guardians of the Galaxy and the Hobbit movies and thought: Oh Piemaker, why?

[@griffinmathers929]

Wait til your kid makes you watch Twilight. I would have been okay as I didn't recognize him, but then "Look! It's the pie man!" . He was good in a show I started watching, then missed a bunch and got lost. Alt something? Halt? Early computer stuff, really interesting.

[@purpleartifice]

Where else do you think Thrandy got his Randy?!?!?!?!?!?!

"I'm a...vegetarian..." It's funny because he became a vegetarian vampire in Twilight.

Your comment is old but he's not a vegetarian vampire

[@meinkanta]

[@aarushis4988]

Still hurts after so long. ABC did try though but never found the audience. Regardless so happy it won an Emmy for best supporting character for Kristen Chenoweth. One thing i remember about this show is the colors but it also made me a huge fan of Brain Fuller and Lee Pace. Their collaborations from Dead Like Me and another quickly canceled show......Wonderfalls are 2 of my favorite shows ever. They all have a quirky childlike feel to them. great storytelling.

[@JenniferBardall]

The writers' strike didn't help, either. The show couldn't pick up the following it needed when it ended halfway through the first season and didn't come back until the strike was over.

[@ThePollux23]

is it too late for a revival?now is a good time as any.

[@felicitysmoakandwillgraham6453]

I miss this show so much 😭 bryan's works are outstanding! I miss pushing daisies and hannibal the most

[@griffinmathers929]

I believe it was the writer's strike. That was Kristin Chenoweth 's take from her book at least.

[@goldenpig0711]

Why, why, why did this show had to end!!!!!!!!!!!! ?

Can't argue with Ned's reasoning. This show was wonderful, my daughter watches over and over.

[@Jasmine-mh3kf]

The imagery of what would happen...*shudders* The bearskin rug thing is still hilarious though

[@dc8179]

He must have been raised vegetarian if he only discovered his "gift" when he was nine; otherwise I think the meat would have given it away

[@Vexarax]

He was probably just confused by all the wriggling in his mouth but assumed that happens to everyone not having anything to compare it to! Haha gross :D

[@typacsk]

I guess he could eat something that he had revived and re-killed before cooking, but then the question is if he'd want to.

[@veronihika]

Ned's a veggie cuz if he eats meat, it'll be alive again in his mouth and i'm pretty sure that would be REALLY unplesant...

[@ethanpschwartz]

"My heezy ain't none of ya'll's beezy."

[@griffinmathers929]

He's my favorite.

[@LiveLoudandLiveAlive]

...I wonder if he could eat eggs, because technically they where never alive if not fertilized.

[@asterphy]

Egg wash is used on most pies, so I think it’s safe to eat for him.

[@phantompersian]

[@zapkvr]

Chi was as brilliant as everybody else in this show. I wish they would put him in something, preferably series three of PD

[@RascalFascal]

damn that show was soooo awesome...cancelled way to soon!!!!!

[@sammyeagleson5352]

I'm a vegetarian too, but for different reasons

[@RebeccaBane]

"um...why?" haha!!

[@ReneeOfTheFae]

Of course! It makes perfect sense! Now that would be scary. Almost like walking through a crowd of zombies (as slated for the comic.)

[@canani02]

[@xBunnyBoyx]

Go vegatareians!!!!!!!!

[@debbieday5812]

You know he didn't have to be a vegetarian if he made his own food. Like touch once, it's alive again, touch again it's dead forever and when he cooks it it can't come back to life in his mouth because second touch means dead forever

[@shortshtuff626]

hes sososososoososososo hooootttt as garrett on breaking dawn 2 :DD !!!!!

[@tay_marie]

Gosh, anna friel makes me so proud to be british, like her!:')

[@f.tomasi]

@Veronihika, doesn't the same happen to plants when he touches them?XD

[@Pembo362]

@BestJaxx i think they say in the show its 'one touch life, touch twice and dead forever' so keeping his finger on a rotten apple would bring it back and it wouldn't rot again until he let go and touched it a second time...

[@themerryuniverse]

Pembo362 He wears a glove on one hand while baking and he doesn’t eat his own pies 🥧

[@Hoganply]

Or maybe he just doesn't fancy offal. :)

[@griffinmathers929]

A perfectly and possibly accidentally named thing.

[@lencey8759]

It took me like a whole hour to figure out why Ned was a vegetarian... I felt like an idiot when I realised that the meat would come alive in his mouth. I feel sorry for him.

[@majorsmask]

@VeggieVidz Ned, if he wanted to could potentionally eat pies made with meat if he wanted to...how? touch it twice so its dead for ever THEN make the pie with it.

[@Thedirtinyoureye]

Its weird bc either way if he ate meat and that would become "alive" it would instantly die because he would chew it (touch it) most than once

[@Allura27]

Ma heezy ain't none a' ya'lls beezy. Hehehehehhehehe

[@recentral48]

Oh my god! It's Mrs. Wellman from Roseanne!

[@TheSoulsista76]

Veggies FTW

[@ResettisReplicas]

fresh as in uncooked. So he could eat extra-rare steak and sushi, but chicken wouldn't be such a good idea.

[@FaceKarl]

yes. but it would just be fresh. and you know, not alive

[@angelkotilainen]

not true, only little pieces would get fresher.

[@AnimeVampire1324]

@musiclover169 season 2

[@angelkotilainen]

wrong, a piece would just get more fresh. Like his fruit.

[@JBlooey]

Couldn't he just repeatedly touch the meat and then be able to eat?

[@mialevi1341]

He could but if you had to make a cute chicken come alive and then you would have to kill her again.... That just seems sadistic to me

[@ReneeOfTheFae]

I don't think it's an abbreviation. I think it's just a foreign word, like chutzpah, you know? It's a pie. Instead, however of the sweet, sugary dreamy fillings we all know and love, it contains the innards of animals. Basically the parts that no one eats (unless they're having a hot dog.) As a Native American, I admire omnivores that use the entirety of the animal. As a vegetarian, I think it's gross. : /

[@ReneeOfTheFae]

Kinda sounds to me like he just needs an excuse not to eat the offal.

[@veronihika]

is offal an abreviation like CIA or something like that??

[@rachaelknudsen8801]

Offlal refers to organ meat, as opposed to muscle tissue. Principally, stomach and intestines. Not something you'd want reanimated as you chewed.

[@Joe_Parmesan]

Where do you live anyway? Lmao

[@ArNoGsEeL]

it sounded like he said "i'm a vegetarian" as a question. almost like a "i'm lying so i dont have to eat this" lol not to start anything, i think being vegetarian is great, just saying that's what it sounds like

[@Pinkyyyy13]

OMG, that's horrible!

[@Aylali]

But. He can just touch the meat on the fog and then put it in his mouth: voila, he can eat it :D

[@docstefmd830]

Yuck ... that pie is one of the most disgusting things I´ve ever seen!!!

[@MrCodyLance]

Vegetables are also living things, snatched from the ground, cut and cooked just like animals.

[@gradjake2011]

He might just be saying that. all he needs to do is touch the meat twice, and he's good.
