Members ellabelle Posted July 25, 2013 Members Share Posted July 25, 2013 To be honest, as much as I love this show, I think the whole "Who Killed Flora" bit is a mistake. Who killed her? Who cares? She's a victim we barely know. So far as well know is that she's a slutty golddigger, and that took weeks to discover. Even her maid friends don't seem terribly broken up over her murder. She doesn't appear to have family that we've seen. Beyond Marisol wanting to get her son and his anger issues out of jail, there's not a lot of reason to care who killed her. I think if they wanted a big push for the initial season to be who killed Flora, then they should have given us more build up as to who she was or shown her family and friends grieving her death. Give the audience a reason to care that this woman is dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jonathan Posted July 26, 2013 Members Share Posted July 26, 2013 You're right. No one really cares about Flora. I think Marc Cherry is really just using that character as a device to introduce the main cast to the audience. In the process, however, the murder does provide some intrigue and suspense.

Members Antoyne Posted July 26, 2013 Members Share Posted July 26, 2013 I don't know about anyone else but I could give two shits about Carmen. She really is the weakest link for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jonathan Posted July 26, 2013 Members Share Posted July 26, 2013 Don't you want her to succeed as a Latin pop star? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Antoyne Posted July 26, 2013 Members Share Posted July 26, 2013 I want her to succeed in drowning or falling down a flight of stairs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ellabelle Posted July 26, 2013 Members Share Posted July 26, 2013 I'm right there with you. She walked out on her husband and just pretended he didn't exist? Didn't bother to get a divorce? All to pursue a music career? That's borderline acceptable when you're 22. It's downright ridiculous when you're 37. Grow up, Carmen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted July 26, 2013 Author Members Share Posted July 26, 2013 Anyone else think the bird was going to save Carmen? I thought it was going to peck at his face when the cage broke. Oh and haters to the left. I love Carmen. She's the best one I didn't realize Valentina has known Remy since they were kids. I thought she just got close to him a few weeks ago That was probably dumb on me for not realizing that. I have to say she is reminding me a bit of Teresa Lopez-Fitzgerald Was Remy's girl the same chick that was with Michael on GH this week? I liked Valentina beating her ass The guy is adorable Gross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members SFK Posted July 26, 2013 Members Share Posted July 26, 2013 And I think we'll all disagree with Susan's comedic timing "rarely" being seen on AMC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ellabelle Posted July 26, 2013 Members Share Posted July 26, 2013 It was seen, but not much in later years and not nearly enough overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted July 26, 2013 Members Share Posted July 26, 2013 I dunno, she seemed to be having a ball playing some of Jane's more comedic moments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted July 26, 2013 Members Share Posted July 26, 2013 It's the Desperate Housewives thing--where they opened with the mystery of the suicide. Of course the victim was the narrator--it does sound like we'll learn more about Flora now, from that interview with Michael Fairman, with her popping up in dreams, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Darn Posted July 26, 2013 Members Share Posted July 26, 2013 But were those moments actually funny? I doubt it, especially in that story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted July 26, 2013 Members Share Posted July 26, 2013 I found them so! The excitement at Jane getting to live Erica's materialistic life, when she totally snubbed her daughters, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members YRBB Posted July 27, 2013 Members Share Posted July 27, 2013 The dead son really helped humanize Adrian and Evelyn, showing another side to them. And that ending shot where they blow the candles out was great. Big sigh... Carmen being beaten and strangled by her husband played for laughs. Siiigh. Don't get me started about the crap with Valentina and Remi. Loved Marisol and her son. Meh on Rosalinda or whatever her name is and Jake from MELROSE PLACE.
