Season Finale Spoilers

[Cheap21]

Last night's episode was VERY well done. I love how they told it from the killer's perspective. Was also surprised to see Mary Alice. Has she appeared in every season? I think the last time we saw her was when Katherine joiend but dont recall anything last year

[dragonflies]

Here's an article about that Cheap

[Cheap21]

thanks for the article.

Oh one thing Ive always wondered and thought of again last night was how many damn people live on that lane!? It feels as if we've been introduced to dozens of neighbors already. I mean, really?

Oh one thing I didnt find beleivable was how ugly the killer and his mother's house was. The people on Wysteria Lane would have complained about that and had her forced to take care of her property. That trashiness brings the value of the community down and she could be fined for it. Heck those women went and complained when the gays had a figurine on their front lawn, that they didnt like. I cant see them letting this house get as bad as it did bc it looks like it belonged in the slums

Eddie doesn't live on Wisteria Lane, he lives in Fairview (Mary Alice in the intoduction of the episode: "There is a house in the town of Fairview..."). Eddie answered when Gabby asked him where he lives... " A couple of streets over".

And when Lynette talked to To about Eddie she mentioned how they used to gossip about Eddie's mom. Since the house isn't on Wisteria Lane I'm not sure they have any rights to demand changes...

thanks. That makes sense now. I can see Bree having a fit if a house like that was on her street

[Cheyenne]

^^ Haha, for sure.

Well I thought the season finale last night was all right, kind of rushed between Eddie's story and the Bolens being wrapped up. I mean we didn't even see Eddie being arrested or Lynette's family reaction to the truth about Eddie and the baby's birth. Patrick being blown up to pieces was fun, I was disappointed because John Barrowman wasn't very good in the role, more like out of place. Paul showing up at the end was fun, and I wonder if

. Oh and is Orson gone for good? I've heard McLachlan was leaving.

I thought hte finale was horrible and underwhelming. It seemed like a regualr episode. The only part that felt finalish to me that I liked was the twist with Angie. I thought she was going to die but I liked how she lived and ended blowing up the car. Speaking of which, I thought that was it for her and she'd be in jail. A car blows up in the middle of the street in which she kills someone and people dont call the cops? No investigation? She just slips out of town hours later? They downpkayed her storyline when it should have been a bigger deal. At least I thought it would be from the promos

The serial killer story was also a disappointment considering its been playing the entire season. They wrapped it up too nicely. This guy did horrific thigns and is a psychopath, even if they tried to portray him as sympathetic. I think they should have at least shown the cops arresting him. I really wish we could have seen Susan's reaction to finding out he's the one that nearly killed Julie

Bree's drama. Im glad they finally brought up that Andrew killed Carlos' mother and that she covered it up. I thought she was a hypocrite when she made Orson go to prison and Im glad he called her out on it. She should have gone to prison as well bc covering it up was a crime. If Gabby told her to confess in order to make things right, would she? I think not. She was dead wrong in what she made Orson do, considering her own sins.

Speaking of which, how lame that this has been a secret since the FIRST season, and they've finally waited this long to reveal it (what nearly 10 years due to the jump) and she tells it to Gabby off screen. WTF? I wanted to hear it and to see Gabby's reaction. Gabby hated her mother in law and I think the true reaction would have been Carlos' which is why I wanted the confession to be told to both of them at the same time. I guess next season will open up with them hating Bree but too bad we will have missed the immediate aftermath.

The big twist in the end is that Paul Young returns. Really? I kinda figured it would be him bc he's the only male that I could think of that wasnt dead with strong ties to the women. I was almost 80% sure it was him before the reveal and the other part thought we'd get a Rex lookalike. How the heck could Susan not know who she rented her house to? Unless he alterd his name, it makes no sense. Why wouldnt she meet the person before singing away her house? Who the F does that? And why is him returnign such a big deal? He didnt have any issues with the women. The one who sent him to prison was Martha's sister by framing him for murder. He has no reason to cause trouble to anyone but her, and she's faked her death

I also picked out MJ as the misplaced kid, which doesnt surprise me one it. I never understood why they casted a blond kid to be Susan and Mike's child. Yeah it can happen but with their genetics, they are more likel to have a dark haired child. He wasnt even a dirty blonde or a dark shade. His hair is pretty light and I always wondered if they came home with the right kid

[dragonflies]

Soapfan I wondered the same thing, especially since they showed Susan holding a baby in that segment.

Yeah I was disappointed we didn't get to see Tom's reaction to the baby having been born.

I thought Angie turning the tables with the bomb was awesome

[Soapsuds]

That was the best part of the show. I didn't see that coming. I felt everything was rushed. It should have been a 2 hour season finale.

[Scotty]

Well Wisteria Lane is in Fairview as well, so they all live in the same city....just in different areas.

[dragonflies]

Guess who's joining DH? SPOILER ALERT:

[EricaKane70]

I definantly will be watching full time next season when Vanessa is on, I hope her character isn't a flop like Alfre Woodards, they did her wrong.

[Cheap21]

Ha! For them to add a black woman, I always thought it needed to be a hot sexy one like Vanessa Williams. I like Alfre, but she was too matronly and didnt have it poppin like the other housewives. She felt like an odd fit. Vanessa has the sex appeal to vamp it up and fit right in on Wisteria Lane

Before I followed the link, I thought you were referring to Vanessa Marcil and I thought "oh dear lord, WHY?!?" Haha
