Desperate Housewives 4/2

GAH! The news broke in to tell us that there’s lightning outside (duh). The guy’s been rambling for about five minutes about nothing. Anyway what happened between the time Eddy got the teeth and the time the guy attempted to immolate himself.

Worst baby heist ever.

I’ll be back later…

When come back bring Bosda. :stuck_out_tongue:

Only brought pretzels…

Lots of entertainment, and of course the usual strained credibility. If the baby’s father can have a claim on it, then why did Gabi insist on running off with the kid?
I know, I know–it’s for the drama and the action. I don’t pretend to know all the legal ramifications of this either.

It’s hard to believe that Susan could survive being flipped over a bed and onto the floor not long after her surgery! Again, it’s fun to watch. And she had to tend bar too!

What can you drink to get stinking drunk very quickly? Hmmm…I’m thinking a zombie or three. Eh?

Andrew is such a little prick.

Hurricane!

Did you hear that from his boyfriend? :slight_smile:

Not the best episode, especially after last week’s good one. But it’s nice to see Edie back in action.

You know, between Desperate and Lost*, I’m starting to wonder if ABC has something against black people.

Alfre Woodard is listed in the credits, but do we see any Applewhites? Nope. I mean, Edie sold them their house and she didn’t invite them to her engagement party! She invited Paul, and I think Felicia’s little speech about having a “murderer in our midst” would have been a lot more powerful if Betty and Matthew had been able to toss significant glances at each other. That story line showed such promise, and I’m so disappointed that Cherry and Company couldn’t be bothered to weave them in with the rest of the Wisteria Lane secrets.

What’s the big deal about the father of Pole Dancer Baby? It doesn’t necessarily follow that because she knows who the dad is, that he will want to keep the baby. Beautiful baby, by the way…I hope they do call her Aurora. What a gorgeous name.

Peter has it right. Two recovering addicts should not be in a relationship together. I think it’s one of the AA rules.

*Regarding Lost, Walt and Michael have disappeared and no one seems too concerned to go after them. You have a young boy and his father out wandering on a jungle island, and they’re too concerned with pressing that damn button every 108 minutes to organize a search party. And don’t give me crap about how Bearded Man scared them off. What about Jack and Ana Lucia forming an army…hmmmm???

(Sorry, done with Lost hijack. I’m just ticked at how two of my favorite shows start to develop story lines then drop them like hot potatoes.)

I just love Gabby and Carlos together. That look that Gabby shot at Carlos when he was offered a lapdance was priceless.

Also loved when Carlos said to Gabby who’s holding the baby, “Come on, you’re hogging her”.

Edie still completely rocks. Her scenes with Susan are some of the best of the show. Paul skulking out of Edie’s house with his head down.

Good show last night.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Alfre Woodard may have taken some time off from the show in order to film “Take the Lead.” It’s not uncommon for writers to accommodate an actor’s schedule by making a character inactive for a little while to give the actor enough time to finish an outside project.

This season, Gabie & Carlos have grown into the most likeable (albeit scoundrelly) characters on the show. They should spin them off into their own series, and leave the rest of them to flounder.

I can understand Edie’s hold over Carl (ie, blackmailing him into a big wedding). But why doesn’t Susan just tell her to go **** herself?

Because Edie could rat her out for the insurance fraud.

And because Susan is a damn doormat. She never stands up for herself and on those instances when she stands up for Julie she screws up some other area of her own life.
