Holy creepy crap…Alma drugged and date-raped Orson! shudder The whole family is sick <—understatement of the week
Still not interested in Ian, though now Jane is out of the picture.
Still creeped out a bit by Gabi and Zach.
I liked the Scavo storyline, though.Me, too. For once, I liked Lynette.
The Zana-do was no better this second time. Zach is seriously creepy.
Alma is seriously creepy.
Orson’s mom is seriously creepy.
I think all of Bree’s baby weight has gone into her face.
And if I never see pulled teeth on TV again it will be too soon, even fake pulled teeth. Yack.
To be fair to Bree, she is preggers with twins - that’s a lot of weight to carry.
Only DH could make rape funny. I admit though that I don’t think it could have been made funny if the gender roles were reversed. I loved that Bree just hauled off and decked Alma after saying “you RAPED my husband!” And asking Andrew to come over and bring the wheelbarrow was great.
The hairdressers managed to Tame the Wild Locks a bit this episode. Still too long but at least it all looked like it was attached this week instead of orbiting around his head like fluffy satellites.
Lynette is stupid. Tom is stupid. I should make a macro of that. Putting aside the stupidity of lying to her boss in a way that everyone knew was going to backfire as soon as she started, it’s a week before the restaurant opens and the Tom has no waitstaff that can help out at the street fair? How exactly is Tom planning on runnin a restauant with no waiters? We saw last week that Andrew works there, he wasn’t available for a few hours to help out at the fair? And why the hell is the street fair on a work day anyway? They want to get Lynette into the restaurant for the lead-weight hilarity that will undoubtedly ensue, fine, is it so hard to come up with a sensical way of doing it?
The coma-wife is dead and now Ian and Suzzzzzzzzzzzz…oh sorry, I nodded off again just thinking about that whole boring storyline.
I was about 94% sure that Orson’s mother was going to stay in the room while Alma got it on with Orson. I just wish in his drugged state Orson had managed to mutter “gaaaarp.”
Mike’s amnesia confuses me. Does he still think that he’s investigating Dierdre’s death?
I was expecting Jane to wake up while Susan was holding the phone to her ear.
loved the wheelbarrow request. bummer she will be out of the show for a bit. i really enjoy bree and orson.
I noticed she called it a wheel"barrel". Is that a west coast thing?
could be. I have never seen one of those whatchamacallits around here.
I found their light treatment annoying, bordering on offensive, for the exact reason that if the genders had been reversed, it would have been treated much more seriously.
Woman raped = A Very Special Episode
Man raped = <smirk>
:rolleyes:
This was probably my favorite episode of the series since Lynette broke down from her Ritalin problem. With the minor exception of Lynette lying to her boss (and yes, it was obvious that it was going to backfire, but I have to admit I didn’t expect Kayla to be involved - I just thought they’d be at the fair on their own), none of the protagonists behaved in a way that made me hate them.
It was a very pleasant surprise to see Susan say good bye to Mike instead of running back to his arms. It was an even more pleasant surprise to see that Susan’s good-bye wasn’t misconstrued by Ian, leading to more romantic misadventures of Susan Meyer.
I was pleasantly surprised that Bree immediately realized that Orson was drugged; I thought for sure that we’d have a few weeks where Bree thought Orson was really cheating on her. Of course, it was foolish of Bree to trust Andrew with the secret, considering how he’s blackmailed her in the past.
Yes, I didn’t understand why Lynette had to be involved in actual cooking. I thought she was taking a business manager job, not an operations manager one.
I think I missed something; since when are Dixie Carter and Alma claiming to be part of a church?
Well, except for the 40 pounds that have gone into her bustline.
And who/what is this “Zana”?
Oh, yeah, the main reason for responding. They start up a restaurant, knowing it will be a struggle to survive, and they hire a manager? There goes the profit margin…
gigi:
In any small startup, there’s little labor that management won’t take a hand in doing.
Dixie has said on at least one previous occasion that she belongs to a church that doesn’t believe in divorce. Of course she also told Bree at least once that she should divorce Orson so there you go.
Zana = TWoP shorthand for Zach. His birth name was “Dana” and the names got portmanteaud.
