Members YRBB Posted March 16, 2012 Members Share Posted March 16, 2012 Just watched last week's episode. I LOVED how they kept teasing us with different deaths; Karen, Jane, Juanita. I was unfortunately spoiled about the death but it was heartbreaking. I'm still crying; Mike's death scene was amazingly well done, especially the quick flashbacks. The show can still deliver when it needs to. I don't really mind him dying because he stopped being interesting after Season 1, Denton is pretty bad and not even his looks are what they used to be. His connection to Susan was the ONLY reason why he was kept around. Hopefully, this will propel Susan to something better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted March 19, 2012 Members Share Posted March 19, 2012 What an AWFUL episode. Theres what like 6 left and they have a flashback one? What a waste of time and I dont even feel these flashbacks are being utilized effectively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members alexisfan07 Posted March 19, 2012 Members Share Posted March 19, 2012 I loved it. Felt like classic DH. Did Mike justice and shed some fascinating light on Bree's past which we've never gotten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mr. Vixen Posted March 19, 2012 Members Share Posted March 19, 2012 Wow I thought this was the most beautiful episode in a VERY long time. Loved how they weaved the flashbacks into everyone's current storylines. The ending had me bawling SO hard when she was talking about MJ pitching for little league, and Mike fixing the cars. Great, great episode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members alexisfan07 Posted March 19, 2012 Members Share Posted March 19, 2012 Yeah Teri acted her ass off in the scene about how Mike helped with her car with the thingy and she didn't even know where the thingy was...so simple yet so effective. I was quite moved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted March 19, 2012 Members Share Posted March 19, 2012 Guess it was just me then bc I thought it was boring and did nothing to move the season forward. I wish they had focused less on flashbacks and more on current things. The flashbacks with Mike was all that should have sufficed. All that extra stuff that didnt include him felt unnecesary and a real time killer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members alexisfan07 Posted March 19, 2012 Members Share Posted March 19, 2012 Ah so you mean like the flashbacks without Mike in them (the ones with Mama Solis, Bree, etc?) I guess I can see your point but it was nice to get a brief little recap of the main women's lives/loves as the show is coming to a close. If anything, I disagree with you in saying the episode didn't move the plot forward because I was annoyed that Bree's murder arc was in the episode at all.

Members Mr. Vixen Posted March 19, 2012 Members Share Posted March 19, 2012 Teri Hatcher really just broke me tonight. I've seen that level of grief too many times. It gave me heartbreaking flashbacks of two summers ago, when one of my closest friends lost her mother. Her mother had been a second mother to me, and I flew into town as soon as I heard. Just walking in the house and knowing she was never going to be there again was like a vacuum, it just sucked the life out of everything. And Teri Hatcher conveyed that PERFECTLY tonight. Bravo, Ms. Hatcher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members YRBB Posted March 19, 2012 Members Share Posted March 19, 2012 I thought the episode was very well done. I don't think there is a need to "move the season forward" because, after an 8-year veteran character dies, you stop, and you give them their due. Besides, it would feel very weird to focus on other storylines heavily when such a BIG event has happened. If it's so soul-crushing for the characters, why would they go about their lives like it's a normal day? In situations like these, you tend to freeze in time, and memories (at least for the day of the funeral!). I just loved the flashback with a young Bree and then with Rex. Bree felt like she did in Season 1 again and it was a glorious feeling. It was nice that they weaved Mike in the various flashbacks. And it's good that this event changed a lot of things for a lot of people--it seems the death will be a springboard for the events that will shape up the end of the series. Susan's eulogy and the scene with the four friends later had me bawling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
