Pushing Wikis

You may or may not have come across my delight in the TV program, "Pushing Daises". It is both visually and narratively beautiful, and endlessly romantic. I really love it.

I was thrilled to find out that it had returned for a second season/the second half of its first season. I was however less thrilled to find out its been canned and wont be continuing.

To be honest, its a fairy tale and should actually conclude with a happily-ever-after. It should end with a resolution giving the good their reward and, and the wicked their just deserts.

Whatever the ending, I will miss it when it goes, until then I am loving it.

I did however note something in the Wikipedia entry for it, right at the end. It mentions that there is a religious story that closely mirrors the show. Apparently in the 4th or 5th century, Severus – Bishop of Naples brought someone back from the dead to solve a fraud case.

If you have seen the show, you will recognise the humour in the Wikipedia entry, where someone has used the like "the facts are these" to explain the case.

If you have not seen the show, this will be meaningless to you – but then if you have not seen the show you haven't really lived.
