Haven’t seen it yet, but I’m starting this thread so you fellow viewers can jump in whenever you’re ready.
Looks like the Scavo kids will get chicken pox, Bree gets pulled over, Susan meets a doctor, and some old pics of Gabi show up on the Net.
That’s all I know.
What did Tom say to Lynette after he said that he couldn’t go through with it? My roommate and I were talking and we totally missed it.
Something like “I support you through your irrational fears, you can support me through my irrational fears.”
Once again, Susan proves herself to be a complete idiot and once again she gets rewarded for it.
When Tom mentioned chicken pox can make men sterile I thought Lynette was going to scheme to get him infected. At least they didn’t make her even more despicable by doing that.
I’m not liking the Bree storyline, turning her into a drunk seems too cliche. I’d rather see her get mad and kick butt, like the one belonging to that little snot of a son of hers. And then I want to see her steal Susan’s ex from Edie.
Susan … I think the only reason she does get hot guys is they figure she is soooo stupid she must be an easy lay.
I enjoyed the ep. overall, though I agree that Susan’s behavior was completely ridiculous and there’s no way any doctor would have stuck around and still liked her company after finding out that she’d made him waste time on an MRI for no reason.
I also don't believe that such a private and incriminating message regarding the dead guy in front of the Applewhites' home would have been left on Bree's answering machine; after all, anyone who was at home could have heard it before she did.I hate how they make nearly every guy who meets Bree attempt to date her.
I thought this episode was meh. The opening was very funny with the date from hell but the rest was just okay.
I wish Susan would grow up. Her sophmoric antics are getting very old.
So, was Bree drunk or did the cop pull her over because he was mad at her? I never did figure that part out.
Tom is feeling emasculated? I thought Lynette got him some golf clubs so he wouldn’t have to be Mr. Mom all day long.
Gabby and Carlos were icky, too. I don’t like her manipulations at all.
Now, next week, how are they going to reconcile Gabby’s assertion that she has the “upper body strengthy of a kitten” with what looks like, from the previews, a knock-down drag out fight in the church with Sister Renee Zellweggerwannabe?
I guess because it will be a cat fight. 
I enjoyed the date from hell, although mostly because I thought about how great it would feel to get up and walk out after the first racist joke.
Minor point: I thought it is mumps that can cause sterility in males, not chicken pox.
I think Bree was really drunk, I think the detective said she had several glasses of wine plus another drink. She’s not that big a girl, so she could have very well been over the limit. It was chickenshit of him to pull her over, though, he should have a least called another officer on the case. We never did hear anything about a Breath alcohol or blood test. But, hey, this is TV!
I was pleased that Tom didn’t go through with the vasectomy just because Lynette demanded it.
Maybe because she refused to take the field sobriety test? That may be enough for an arrest. I think around here you can refuse but that implies guilt and you can be brought in for that.
I don’t think her request is unreasonable, considering she’s had four children. And his excuse for wanting to have a “door” is lame. A man does not get “emasculated” just because he has a vascectomy, any more than a woman undergoing a tubal ligation is somehow less feminine. If Tom were more sure of his masculinity a vascectomy wouldn’t have bothered him. I think it’s a sign there’s more going on in the marriage.
My objection was more about Lynette demanding the vasectomy. Surely, something like that is up for negotiation in a marriage. I didn’t think the request was unreasonable, in and of itself, just Lynette’s demand that he satisfy what even she admits is an irrational fear.
I once asked this question awhile ago, but I don’t think anyone had an answer:
Is this show done by the same folks who did ""Lois and Clark? It has a very similar look and feel to it, has Terry Hatcher, and I swear the new doctor looks like one of the guys who played Jimmy Olsen (I think there were 2).
Not as good an episode as last week, but still had some good laughs. I think a lot of people are overanalyzing this thing here. It’s a light comedy, so all the ridiculousness just has to be taken in stride. Sit back, relax and just watch it. It’s not “Lost”… 
Illinois has an “implied consent” law for breath, urine and blood testing, but I’m not sure if refusing to take a field sobriety test (which is what it seemed the cop was asking Bree to do) constitutes enough for an arrest in and of itself.
DH was created by Marc Cherry, who has no L&C on his resume. IMDB lists like two dozen people as producers and associate producers, but I don’t plan to cross-reference them with L&C. Doctor Ron is played by Jay Harrington, who has no Jimmy Olsen on his resume. The two Jimmy Olsens were Michael Landis and Justin Whalen (and of course one appearance by the classic TV Jimmy Olsen, Jack Larson).
When Susan was in the MRI, the angle she was laying gave a great view up her nose. She has two totally different-shaped nostrils. Weird.
Ah, yes. IMDB!! Somehow I must’ve thought L&C was too old to be on that site, but that’s obviously wrong. I’ll do some checking. I know I’ve seen that doctor somewhere else and it’s driving me crazy that I can’t figure out where.
IMDB has a joint cast/crew search feature, with which you can find anyone common to two or more productions. The results for Desperate Housewives and Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman yielded:
And if you watch the background when she’s driving, she’s weaving all over the road.
Even the hooker she was sharing a jail cell with thought she was a co-worker.
Maybe in the DH universe, Bree is the epitome of womanhood.
Wow. I don’t think a single person was likeable in that episode. Everyone was either a weinie or a jerk. Take that back, the constant porno-lovin’ gardener was okay and Susan’s daughter had a snarky line that I liked, but can’t remember. The doctor gets half credit for telling Susan to “Grow up,” but loses points for agreeing to go out with her. Easy lay or not she’s effing insane. Unless he’s like Davan he can do better.
I’ve actually been enjoying this season, but this episode just plain sucked. Hopefully Sister Mary Renee Zellweger-lite will cave Gabby’s head in with a crufix next week.
