Desperate Housewives: Discussion Thread


Recommended Posts

Tonight's episode was definitely the best episode of Desperate Housewives ever. It reaffirmed the theme of the show: desperate housewives. This episode had it all: romance, adventure, action, suspense, comedy and high drama. Felicity Huffman should definitely win the emmy for her performance, and Laurie Metcalf should as well. I read an article a few days ago on how the show this season was "good" but not "classic." Well, tonight's was quite a classic.

Can't add much here. Best "DH" episode ever. I jumped when Carolyn shot Nora...and from that point on? I BAWLED LIKE A BABY. I couldn't believe it. The tears just flowed until the previews. It was such an emotional show!!! There's nothing else to say. Not much, anyway. It was an amazing show. BEST show of this week even though the other shows up until Saturday haven't aired yet. NO WAY could anything top it. Dang. Just one problem though. While I enjoyed Lynette telling Carolyn off, I REALLY wanted someone to put her in her place, knock her around a little bit. Also, why did the Sunday school teacher kill her when it wasn't self defense? That was something I didn't get.

Not self defense?? The woman had a gun and shot someone...she had a right to shot her. Plus Carolyn said, "Don't give me a reason to make him wake up without a mommy." Hello...shot the crazy.

I jumped when she shot Nora!! Knew it was coming...just didn't think it would happen like that.

The only thing is this was not very funny...more dramatic and DH is not a drama series according to Marc Cherry!

Loved the Tom/Susan interaction.

I think the guilt will eat both Bree and Lynette alive. Eveerytime Lynette sees Kayla, she will think of how she was responsible for her mother's death and Bree carries the guilt of setting things in motion. I think this is how they both will think. I thought it was surprsing how Nora died so early in the season bc I think there were a number of ways to play out her story

Last nite's episode was a-m-a-z-i-n-g amazing. Usually I tape and then watch at a later time but last nite's episode I watched live-start to finish-and really enjoyed it. Felicity and Laurie better get some Emmy love and the executives better submit this episode come Emmy time.

I thought it was a great episode, easily the best this season (not that this season has been very good, imo). I know I'm in the minority but I would not call this one of the best episodes ever. The entire first season was better.

There was too much of Susan/Ian for my taste and the Carlos/Gabrielle "War of the Roses" part fell flat for me. Also, Julie & Edie's nephew bonding during the crisis made me cringe.

Having said that, I did cheer a bit when Nora got shot. :P

Then, I started crying due to Lynette's reaction and the followup shots of Carlos/Gabrielle, Tom/Lynette, Susan/Julie, etc. The ending was excellent.

It's great that Lynette can stop feeling guilty over not saving Mary Alice but I wonder if she'll now start having dreams about Nora or Caroline.

    • Thanks for the fuller story.  Steve Guthrie was a loss to the show, but I can't really blame Nicholson.
    • Albee clashed with co-star Lee Godart, who portrayed villain Eliot Dorn . At the time, the Edge of Night cast participated in a charity baseball league with other New York-based soaps. Albee, an American, was very competitive about the games, whereas Godart – a French actor unfamiliar with baseball – was not as skilled. Tensions reportedly flared when Albee berated Godart’s athletic performance and even mocked his nationality during these games . Godart took offense and complained to the executive producer, who warned Albee to stop harassing his castmate . Albee either ignored this warning or didn’t take it seriously, and continued to needle Godart. As a result, when Albee’s next contract option came due, Nicholson chose not to renew it – effectively terminating Albee’s role on the show
    • I can't remember exactly, but I think the claim was it involved a team baseball game.
    • Sorry to hear that - take whatever time you need.
    • @MaximI sing this in my head so dang often!!!!   
    • Not as caught up as everyone else but I just wanted to add, the show being played for laughs is gone and I’m happy about it, that’s exactly how the show was during the strike.
    • I love the early years of GH.... Does anyone know where I can find information of the stories from 1963 and 1964??  Thank you!!

    • Uh, yeah, huh?!!! Seriously, that was a brilliant line but its acumen is strictly from how hilarious. We imagine Joss in Carly's kitchen breaking the news that she's realized she's gay & Carly is unconcerned & then drops that it's Emma she's in love with ... time comes to a screeching halt!!! I think Moss would likely be thrown hard against the wall. Can you imagine Carly & Robin as mothers of the brides together? 
    • @DRW50 Thanks for these. I had a procedure on my eyes and was just okayed for limited screen time the other day, but it is in short periods until Tuesday, when the doctor clears me.  I'll be adding in bits here and there, but Hoppers will be "hopping" after that. Upcoming: Rest in Peace, Denise Alexander, Ruth Buzzi and Priscilla Pointer Updating:   Max Gail, @Xanthe -- Will Lyman, who was lost in the shuffle a year ago, but his update from last year will be typed up;  New: Michelle Hurd and Shanola Hampton and others I'll b updating the edit-able profiles, too.
