Pretty boring episode...the gabby, zack, mike, susan, ian stuff sucked big time..tom and lynette were okay...and the only part i found remotely exciting was alma raping orson and bree punching her..This show better step it up a notch...

Honestly i haven't been that impressed with the show since the Bang episode, which i thought was fantastic..

Me too: I think the writing is excellent.

However, Alma annoys me! I mean, she is very sneaky and crafy, which is interesting in the face of Bree's blind stupidity at times, but I was still so happy when Bree slugged her.

I also don't mind Zach Young coming back at all. I can see him lusting after Gabrielle while he was a pimply faced teenager, and now that he has all this money he thinks he can win her over. It's really not that HORRIBLE a storyline, LOL.

A lot of Eva's fans think she is being wasted this season, but she does a great job with every line she is handed, and she and Bree got most of the good stuff in Season 2, so I think it's wonderful that Lynette and Susan are getting better storylines this time around.

Now, as for Edie: why can't they do more with her?!?!

ITA that the dialogue is fantastic but the storylines haven't interested me very much for the last 2 seasons.

How many psychos can there seriously be in this 1 small town?

Ian has always bored me, too. On the other hand, I loved Susan & Mike in Season One and wish the writers would at least put some effort into bringing back their romance.

At least there was some movement in the Mike/Paul/Zach plot. I just want Mike's memory to return so he can either accept or reject his son and we can get some form of closure.

I usually like Lynette's stories because they tend to make sense to me and be more down to earth. I'm glad she's going to work at the pizzeria with Tom.

DH is so so good right now. Season 3 is really giving the first season a run for its money right now, IMO.

I'm loving the Bree/Orson/Alma storyline, even though I hate Alma and Orson's mother. I cheered when Bree figured out what Alma had done to Orson and punched her! One of my favorite Bree moments EVER.

On the other hand, I HATE the return of Zach and Paul. There was good closure with them at the end of last season, and I see no need for either of them to be brought back. Gabrielle should be laughing in Zach's face, not indulging him.

I want Kayla gone ASAP. Hate that kid.

Susan/Mike/Ian drag down the show. Whenever they're on, I'm so bored.

And one more thing...MORE Edie!!! What will it take for her to get a real storyline of her own?!

See, now I always like it when Zach and Paul return...and when Felicia returns. Felicia is one of my favorites in the show so if having her means having Zach and Paul, I'm all for it!!

I wonder how much longer we'll have to wait until Mike gets his memory back.

I'm not sure how much Edie I want. She is another one of my favorites, but mainly because her comments are SOOO increidbly funny. I feel like if she were a main character we might see more dramatic scenes and less funny scenes. That could be good AND bad...but right now, I'm just happy with Edie as a supporting character.

That's just the thing. As it stands right now, Edie's barely even a supporting character. She's relegated to one or two scenes per episode, usually not even doing anything all that important. And as for the drama/comedy thing, all of the other actresses balance it out well, why couldn't Nicollette?

ITA! Both Edie and Andrew are used in roles that could easily be filled by another character or even a guest star. I'm sorry, but when Andrew's most important scene in an episode consists of a quick shot of him lying in a dark room, watching a sitcom and eating cheese puffs, something is WRONG!

Nicollette and Shawn are more than capable!
