Desperate Housewives 11/7, Or, Does Anyone Want to Talk About This Show?

Predictions:

Rex is struggling with coming out of the closet, big-time. He’s been avoiding sex for months; his wife has made it known that she’s willing to go with him into whatever kink he wants, and his reaction was to tell her she sounded like a whore; and he cries when he ejaculates. Plus, I read a spoiler somewhere that one of the men on the show turns out to be gay. I don’t think it’s Mary Alice’s husband, Lynette’s super-fertile husband, Carlos, or Mike. Ergo, Rex.

The note to Mary Alice will have come from that Gladys Kravitz character about something innocuous – I’m thinking that they were watering their lawn during drought restrictions or something, since Bree commented on the husband keeping the lawn so nice in an earlier ep. Mary Alice jumped to conclusions that the note writer was referring to her really big secret, and committed suicide.

The suicide of his mother caused Zach’s suppression of his memories of Dana to fail. I think, given his hair trigger temper and the fact that his father flatly forbid any psychotherapy, that toddler Zach accidentally on purpose killed baby sibling Dana in one of those tragic jealousy things. The family packed up the baby corpse and moved out of town and changed their names.

I think the Mike Delfino investigation thing is going to be the real surprise. I’m thinking Carlos is involved in some shady business stuff, and we’ll see Gabrielle lose her privileged lifestyle. Of course, that begs the question of how she’d stay on Wisteria Lane. Maybe she’ll move in with one of the others?

Oh, and Lynette is totally going to get strung out on Ritalin. You can see it coming.

I’m trying to taper off caffeine myself, and I could use some Ritalin right now.

When you click on a show to record, one of the options is “Create a Manual Recording”. You can edit the start/end times there. I believe (though I haven’t tried) that you can even set it repeating when doing this.

Oh wait, I can’t answer this. I’m not Liberal. I’m a manly man who shouldn’t be anywhere near a thread about Desperate Housewives. Forget you saw me.

Honey, next Sunday, we need to pull down the blinds before watching. It will ruin my reputation if anyone finds out

If her insides are as imperfect as her outsides are perfect…

I’ll be in my bunk.

perhaps it is a red head thing…

it is the little things. you can see that she is really holding the reins tight and holds back when with her friends. when lynnette threw the chips (crisps) upstairs to get the boys up there, you could see the restraint in bree. when zack was scrubbing the floor, you could see how she was holding back from leaping in a fixing it.

when she describes sex to doc at the restaurant and ends with the “not a fan.” it just floors you because you don’t expect her to even know such body parts exist.

those are the bits i enjoy about her character.

then again i fell for darth vader when i saw star wars as a kid. perhaps i just have a wacky character like.
