Line 5:
The world of [[Pushing Daisies]] is the world of FMA [[Exty Years From Now|Exty Years from Then.]] All the characters live in Amestris, which has become a democracy. Chuck's father, Ned's father, and Dwight Dixon were all state alchemists traveling together; hence, the pocket watches.
* This Troper just went squee.
* Hmm... Perhaps Ned is a {{spoiler|stone-homunculus}}, and he gives out new lives with a touch, then sucks in any lives that don't have the proper anchor a naturally instilled life would have (i.e., lives he had given) with another touch? This ties in well with my "''literally'' giving and taking back a life" guess below. If Ned's father had preformed human alchemy on his wife's recently-stillborn (or unborn) child, that might explain why he went on the run as soon as Ned's [[Super
== Pushing Daisies takes place in an [[Alternate History]] version of the ''[[Heroes (TV series)|Heroes]]'' universe. ==
When Hiro went to the future, he found that alternate timelines could exist. When he went to the past, it's reasonable to assume that he left an altered, alternate timeline behind -- perhaps one in which Adam Monroe did die. An alteration that far back in history would have [[Butterfly of Doom|interesting repercussions]] later in history. That timeline evolved into the familiar-yet-distinctly odd world of Pushing Daisies, with its undefined geography and retro technology.
Line 25:
** Wouldn't it be fun if Ned's lover died of a heart attack? What counts as a touch for the purposes of his power?

Line 32:
* Ned can touch any normal living being with no consequences. His touch only has an effect on lifeforms who are or have been dead. He's only reluctant to touch people because he's learned to be really, really careful about what he touches, and other people make him nervous anyway. He could, if he so chose, have an intimate physical relationship with, say, Olive; he just doesn't want anyone but Chuck.

** The "animal-for-an-animal" is canon. Dunno about evil, but that much is outright stated in "Pidge". Now, maybe if an evil squirrel dies to replace another evil squirrel, and a good squirrel for a good squirrel...
** This could still be true, It's not that the squirrel is completely 'evil', but something had to die , it was the most-'evil' equivalent life in the area.
Line 124:
The only person brought back after more than a couple of days was the dead prisoner in "Pigeon"; though he looked a bit shrivelled, the only thing that would have necessarily happened ''after'' his death was the rotting eyes, which were covered by Chuck's sunglasses. The fruit and leaves return to the state they were in when they were picked or the tree decided they had outlived their usefulness. The bearskin rug was never elaborated on.

Line 176:
Likewise, if Ned doesn't want someone's live taken in exchange, then it won't be taken. Obviously, this makes himself immune to the rule, but by now it has made also Chuck, Digby and anyone Ned likes immune as well. (Emmerson was considerably closer when Chuck was revived, for example, and with Pidge, he didn't want the squirrel to die. With the bees, he explicitly stated that he hoped the water bugs would die)
