Desperate Housewives: Discussion Thread

The entire thing is so stupid to me. But maybe Orson thought that Mike and Alma were having an affair.

[JoelMTL]

Good theory. Orson's been made out to be some psycho, but maybe was just really pissed that his wife ran off. I think you're on to something DruRocks.

It was an okay show:

Susan and Julie were really good and I'm glad that she caught Eddie's nephew!!

Bree!! You go girl!!! The teeth were wierd and nasty! I just wonder if Alma will do something to Bree to put her "down" in order to explain her recent bed ridden state with her pregnancy. DH is good this season...hope they keep it up!

[KBT]

First time I watched DH this season and was entertained, but I must say Bree always seems to be around psychos no matter what SL she is in. And like Kenny said there is a murder mystery every season which has gotten old if you ask me. I may give the show a try again next week.

[DruRocks]

^Exactly. Bree and murder mysteries is freaking stale. They should have never killed Rex, because it didn't really move much.

Thank God! I was lifting weights while it happened and was a little distracted, so that's why it didn't come out clearly. I have to admit though, for a second there, I thought the show had one over the FCC in this post-Janet Jackson world!

[JER Soaps Fan]

Perhaps it's a rehash of the Mike/Paul storyline. Perhaps Orson believes, for whatever reason, that MIKE killed Monique. And then we can have the inevitable showdown between Orson and Mike, this time with Orson putting the gun on Mike, grilling him for Monique's murder.

[JER Soaps Fan]

I disagree, KBT. About Bree. In fact, I think they're going to REDEEM Orson with this Alma twist, which hopefully, is the case. AFter all, Orson and Bree are RIDICULOUSLY a match made in heaven. They're PERFECT for each other! Best "DH" supercouple EVER!!

[All My Shadows]

I'm sick of the murder mysteries and mysteries in general. I loved tonight's episode, but I wish there'd be at least one season in the future where it didn't depend on a suspensful mystery to keep people watching. I'd just like it if it was regular stories being showcased throughout the season. They could easily do away with this season's murder mystery and write in frontburner storylines for Edie and Andrew, who are BOTH very capable of leading story.

[KBT]

Great post!

[Darn]

I have no clue what mystery could top this or touch so many characters in the interesting ways they have this season but I think DH needs that bit of intrigue, it's part of the hook.

"But now your ex is camped out on our doorstep like I'm hosting some sort of Mormon slumber party!"

And word, Bree and Orson are the BEST couple this show has ever had. On what other show could a husband tell his wife that he's going to strangle his ex-wife and have her respond with "Oh, you're a good husband."? LOVE.

This is completely superficial but I am so glad that Eva's gone back to brunette. Makes her look much younger.

I have this horrible feeling that Zach is gonna come back and attack Gaby.

[JER Soaps Fan]

I agree that Zach has incredible potential to attack Gabbs.

[darraholic]

I loved loved loved lastnights episode.

I agree that Zach will probably attack Gabi. It seemed pretty evident when Gabi told Carlos she didn't need his help. I just really want to see Gabi & Carlos back together.

Lynette's story was hilarious. I loved how she showed her boobs to the old man. I also loved her little snarky exchange with Andrew.

Teri Hatcher & Nicolette Sheridan have the best chemistry on this show imo. I loved Susan running after Edie on the street. Felt really bad for Julie though. Ugh I despise that tramp Danielle.

Bree's story is meh. Marcia is amazing but I'm not a big fan of the storyline.

[KLN]

Ohhh, that reminds me.

[Soapsuds]

The show only averaged a 10.6 in the ratings for last nights show. I found the show good in some places and same old in other places. I agree with everyone who says they are tired of the mysteries on the show.
