Will the pizzeria open without incident? My sources say most likely not.
Will Susan accept a marriage proposal? Does someone care?
I must say, I liked the mismatched chairs in the pizzeria.
Good lord, people have been quite literally dropping like flies in this and the previous ep.
Who’s going to look after Mama Hodge now?
Wow. Cleared everything up in one fell swoop. Now what’s left to deal with? Oh, right…Mike. Though I think we’ve got a stalemate…Orson hit him with a car, he was partly responsible for Orson falling off the roof…and neither one wants to be held responsible there. And only Ian knows about the engagement ring Mike had. I don’t think Mike has gotten that memory back yet, or has he? He was looking pretty bummed when Ian proposed.
Mike’s memory is returning; not sure if that means he remembers loving Susan.
I hope that Zach has run away again, the creepy bastard. Best line: “You’ve bagged another neighbor kid? I’m off to warn the Schiavo boys.”
I wonder if they summed up the Orson storyline early because Marcia Cross (Bree) has been on bedrest due with a high risk pregnancy? It seemed like an awfully quick wrap up and in mid-season to boot. I’ll bet it was supposed to drag out over the entire season and at the last minute the writers had to punt.
Why again did Mama Hodge lock Alma in her attic?
I thought for sure that Mike Schiavo was going to fall over dead in the pizza parlor. When he was up making bread sticks, Lynette handed him a prescription bottle and told him to get to bed. I thought for sure that it was going to be another prescription mix up and he’d end up keeling over dead. Hey, you get cynical after watching this show for a few months.
I have to add that I had nearly given up on the show. IMO, this year seems to be much improved over the train wreck that was last year.
Heh. Zach Hung. I really thought Gabby would give Zach a shot after Carlos provided her that awesome visual.
Medicare.
In addition to Orson’s hit and run on Mike there is still the open question of who Orson was visiting in the nut hutch when he met Bree. Also open is why Mike didn’t recognize Orson from Monique’s house when Mike went to Orson for dental work, and why Orson didn’t recognize Mike from there as well, not to mention all the business at the time about Mike’s prison dental work and Orson’s being licensed to practice in some other state. Although I fear the answer to the former is “the writers didn’t think of it” and the latter is “the writers forgot about it.”
Lynette is such a bitch. Right in the middle of Tom’s big night she has to make it all about her feelings about the damn chairs. God, just shut up Lynette.
Ian popped the question to Suszzzzzzzzzzzz…oh, sorry, nodded off again thinking about the most boring couple in the history of ever.
I for one could have gone the rest of my life wihtout contemplating the size of Zack Young’s penis.
Right! The ‘now we can finally have our honeymoon’ would let them avoid the Bree-in-a-coma or Bree-paralyzed solution that other shows have had to resort to.
But then Orson coming home all happy about his dream of loving family and the door closing looks ominous. Maybe it’s a bait-and-switch, though.
Mike Schiavo = Tom Scavo
Yep, they’ve had to keep Cross horizontal so she can carry those twins to term.
Danielle’s new 'do is awful.
I, too, forgot why Mama Hodge had locked up Alma.
I read that Bree’s scenes in bed were actually shot in Marcia’s own home. Everything that was not a close-up was her body double.
Alma had realized that she wasn’t going to get Orson back, so she was going to call the cops to tell them that Orson killed Monique.
way better ep. marcia cross’ pregnancy actually worked to improve the story line IMHO. i was actually cheering on orson!!
of course there was wine involved at the time.
problem is, NOW what? that leaves us with what exactly? the susan+ian+mike storyline. :::shudder::: love mike, wish susan would be taken out by a bus.
yes, i know. it’s so ‘LOST,’ but damn, i think i’d kill to see it happen. 
so, what else is there, storyline-wise, fellow dopers?
and gimme more edie for heaven’s sake. she’s not getting nearly enough screen time. i love that bitch. she’s much more fun. way better than susan, tho i did love the daughter coaching mommy to drop the damn pizza slice during the proposal. yeah, like hatcher’s been anywhere NEAR a pizza slice since ‘lois and clark…’ :rolleyes:
There’s always Zach/Gabby/Carlos, as well as the Scavos and their wacky adventures. I swear, the Scavo storylines seem to be in a different TV show altogether than the rest of the characters. You know, it’s sort of:
“In the next Desperate Houswives, Bree comes to suspect her husband is a murderer, Gabrielle tries to begin dating again after her divorce, Susan is tempted to betray her comatose lover, and trouble ensues at the Scavo house when the boys’ pet hamster escapes just before show and tell and it’s up to Lynette and Tom to find it in time.”
I mean, I like the Scavo storylines, and personally, I think the Scavos are probably the best adjusted and probably the most decent people on the show. But, you know, it’s just a very different set of story lines.
I agree with everyone; the episode felt like closure. I almost don’t want to watch another episode.
But of course I still will, to see what they have cooked up.
That was my favorite line too.
I kinda hope we’re done with Bree’s problems for awhile.
No way is Susan marrying poor Ian. She’s going to totally screw everything up and destroy that guy.
Zach seriously needs some parenting, and he’s got two dads. Enough material there. Zach’s “endowment.” Wonder where he gets that from? Mom’s side or dad’s side? No wonder Susan can’t get over Mike the “plumber.”
Yeah, which dad should be doing the parenting, the one who’s in jail for a murder he didn’t commit and who Zach won’t speak to or the amnesiac? ROle models everywhere for young Zach!
Yes, after this one I really felt like I was done. Too many deaths, a la Melrose Place.
Well, considering that’s where they got like half the cast…
In related news, Marcia Cross has given birth to the fraternal twin girls.
Eden and Savannah. Very good soap opera names!
