So I understand they had to present something fluid but still, I'm still mad at ABC. I'm trying my best not to support them (luckily I only watch Castle [for my Nathan Fillion fix] and Scrubs [who, btw, did right by their possible series finale in bringing all but 2 of their past characters over the years]...it's gonna get tricky with V coming in...) I never realized we knew so little about Ned until your observation of his last name (or lack thereof). With the exception of some fatherly information (because of the brothers) that's a storyline we'll never get to see. And despite what I wrote about the potential comic launch, I support it 100% if it answers these questions.

Knowing that it was the end going in made me very sad too. In true <i>Pushing Daisies</i> style, though, it had me laughing in no time. Really the only omission I'm sad about it that our hero still doesn't have a last name. In a show where so many characters are so often addressed and referred to by their full names, it's a bit strange that Ned was always just Ned or The Piemaker. Speaking of which, where were his half-brothers in all the family reunion-ness? I completely understand why writing this was so hard for you, Sonia, but you did it beautifully.
