Desperate Housewives
At last! A poker-game scene with all the housewives together. Well, all but Lynette, who certainly had her hands full. Taking her crabby boss Nina out every night to the pickup bar certainly was taking its toll. At least getting Nina laid temporarily resolved her crabbiness problem. Loved when Lynette finally came out of her shell, showing us what a sexpot Felicity Huffman actually is. Her transformation scene totally reminded me of Sandy at the end of Grease. I was waiting for her to say, "Tell me about it, stud!" And I must say I love Joely Fisher on this show. Her comedic talents weren't exactly up to their potential on Ellen since she sort of had to play the "straight" man, even when Ellen wasn't out yet. While I'm on the subject of loving, I'm also loving Adrian Pasdar as David, Gabrielle's lawyer. That man has really aged well since the underrated Profit. Maybe being married to one of the Dixie Chicks makes you look younger? Nice effort to convince Carlos to hire him back: "I can't sleep with clients." But how stupid can Carlos be? Definite highlight of the episode was Bree's triumphant Steel Magnolias-like monologue at the cemetery, when she was chastising Rex for thinking that she was trying to murder him. Definite lowlight was Wallace Shawn's Lonny trying to kiss Susan. He looked like Wilbur from Charlotte's Web. Meanwhile, we finally got to learn why Betty Applewhite is locking away that man in her basement. But all this time, I thought it was her husband. Her saying to Matthew "They're not gonna care how slow Caleb is" instead of calling him "your father" makes me think Caleb is her son and Matthew's brother. The fact that Caleb innocently murdered a woman named Melanie Foster answers the question of why they moved away from Chicago. (I moved because of the weather.) Speaking of my hometown, go White Sox! — Dave Anderson

SPOILER
























I think we found what the inapproriate tape that is found is about, November 13th:

and the Scavos learn more about the new neighbors.

So, Lynette babysits for this new family and uncovers it. *Whew*

Apparently he doesn't think straight and didn't know what he was doing.

My thoughts on:

~Bree in last week's episode - YAY!!! Very cool to see her finally unravel a bit.

~Bree in the preview's for next week's episode -- *shudders*

~The rest of the episode -- way cool, Lynette was hot, Go Astros!

More later!

Ah good! It'd be crazy around the coffee table if DH was on opposite Game 7.

Of the season premiere, yes.

ABC is trying to prevent those month long hiatuses in March this season.

We get 4 straight starting November 6th... and Christmas and New Year's are both on Sunday so I know we get a two-week break then.

Be glad it's a repeat... this will avoid the 6 weeks of nothing in March by spreading them out.

Sweeps start Thursday which explains a lot. 4 new episodes in a row.

:hoola:

Tonight is a repeat of the season premiere. I'll watch just for the arrival of Rex's mother "BREE!!!!!!! STOP HERE THIS IS THE HOUSE!!! MY LIFE IS OVER!!!"

:roflmao: :fools:
