Tonight, the storylines have something in common: Carlos returns, Andrew is back, and Mike wakes up after a six-month comatose hiatus.
See you soon.
I know this is really wrong, but could the gap between Nicolette’s boobs possibly be any wider!
:eek:
It’s the space where Edie’s heart ought to be.
I’m hoping this is the end of the Ian/Susan storyline. Could not have been more bored with it. But Susan is so tactless she’ll probably turn to Ian for support in her time of need, necessitating another dose of Vivarin and a Jolt cola to make it through. Although her nasty little line about how he’d be moving faster if it were his wife who was awake actually roused me enough to shout “BITCH!” at the screen.
Or she could confide in Orson again, which would be much more perverse. Or maybe she can go talk to Carl, what with as far as I can tell still being MARRIED to him and all.
Best line of the ep: “Oh, but where are my manners? I should have brought biscuits with that.” Was she serving those biscuits at her tea party at the end of the ep? Now that would have been perverse.
Second-best line was Danielle’s: “Yes, he’s always like that.” I guess Danielle isn’t so broken up about losing Matthew as she led us to believe, what with boinking her history teacher within a few months. Which means that Andrew was away at least part of the school year. So are there a lot of drama camps for teenagers that operate while school is in session? And was Bree the only one watching the news when Andrew was on?
Lynette shows off her brilliant parenting skills once again. Can’t someone call Child Welfare on that family?
Carlos dumps Gaby off at the side of the road. How the hell far out of town was the police station? That looked like a pretty isolated area where he dropped her. Don’t most towns have their police stations pretty centrally located? Maybe she can walk back into town with Nora, who apparently wasn’t in the car for the drive back from camping last week.
With Mike losing the last two years, does that mean he’s forgotten who killed Dierdre and he’ll start looking for her killer again? That could be funny, having Mike wander around town trying to find Paul and Zach and the old dead grampa.
At least there was lots of room for that pudding that Mike apparently lobbed at her.
I’m finding Orson the most interesting character these days, even though he doesn’t have all that much screen time yet.
What the hell is with Lynette? She and Tom are so sweet together but for God’s sake, why did they have children? She’s the world’s worst mother, and it’s starting to get absolutely ridiculous. What’s worst is that the one, single time she actually put her foot down and attempted to exert some authority over one of her children, it was to make him play on a kiddie baseball team. What the hell? How about actually acting like a mother next time they’re throwing a temper tantrum in public or banging pots and pans together?
At any rate, the best scene in the episode was Bree’s visit to Mrs. Keck. Man, that actress absolutely nailed her three or four lines on the show; I wish they had a substantial part for her.
So when are we going to find out what’s going on with Orson?
First off, I’m sad this show is dropping in favor on SDMB. Hell, even Jericho is reaching into multiple pages. Where’s the love, folks?
Second, I liked how Gabby took a step back as Carlos stared at her over the roof of the car. It’s like she finally realized she’s been playing with his emotions for their entire marriage, and now she realizes how bad she’s hurt him.
The thing with Parker just spiraled out of control. I can understand not letting a kid quit something he started, but bribing the pitcher? Please.
Poor Susan. I’m waiting for the blow up with Edie. Maybe she’ll run into a wasp’s nest again?
It looks like Bree and Andrew are starting to mend fences. The scene on the stairs was quite touching.
But next week Bree or Andrew will probably be trying to kill each other, which answers the “Where’s the love” question. The characters don’t stay in character, and it can’t be dismissed as “development”. Their behavior changes from week to week to serve the plot.
I dumped the show toward the end of season two, when I decided that I couldn’t trust the writers anymore. If the show hadn’t had so much promise, it wouldn’t be so disappointing now.
(Jericho’s shown little if any promise, so it’s easy to watch without caring.)
