\nW00t! In six minutes, almost all of season one was recapped in the pithiest bit of exposition I’ve seen in a while. The universe, the characters, and their relationships were laid out with the usual charm and panache (always helped by Jim Dale’s marvelous narration.) Toss in a little foreshadowing about Emerson and his missing daughter and before my favorite coroner can say, “mmhnn,” last year’s quirkiest show is off and running.<\/p>\n

Having spent a really long time with these characters this spring and summer while banging out a spec script, I know their voices like my own. There were nights I went to bed and heard them speaking to me – not a bad thing when it’s Chuck or Olive, but a little off-putting when Emerson wanted his say. It’s been a while since I polished off that spec, so the voices had faded a bit. Now, they’re deliciously fresh again.<\/p>\n

Look, either you like this show – and if you’re reading to here I must assume you do – or you don’t. It’s pretty polarizing. There are a few people who have a weak reaction to it, but most are either fervent fans or hardened haters. So for the twee-compatible, let’s just discuss our favorite bits, shall we? I’ll start.<\/p>\n
