Okay, tonight is the actual season premiere. I won’t bother recapping. I just hope Edie is still alive.
this is the last time I watch this damn show. Just doesn’t do it for me. I mean, who really CARES
why the new neighbor is locking his wife in her room cuz we went through the same damn thing back in season 2!
Do what? He didn’t do any such thing.
Yep. Watch it again. Wifey leaves first. Gyny leaves second and locks the door to the Room of Shame.
I’m really not liking clingy Eddy, but I suppose that she is getting up there in years and is, well, desperate. Hope she and Carlos can straighten it out, because I really like them together.
No laugh out loud moments, but it was enjoyable.
Okay, a Harvard educated doctor doesn’t know the difference between pregnancy and menopause? :rolleyes:
Carlos and Gabby are getting on my last nerve.
How ballsy of the new neighbor to tell Bree she has to cut down her tree?
Bree and Orson trick old ladies with collapsable BBQ forks so they won’t know she’s not pregnant? :smack:
The only redeeming scene was Lynette finally pulling off her wig and putting Bossy Mom in her place. And how come, if the ladies are so close, they can’t intuit when something is wrong and must form a pact (which you know they’re all going to break) to tell each other secrets? Are they that clueless? “Oh, Lynette, you’re looking pale and throwing up. Are you getting enough iron in your diet?”
If this doesn’t improve toot sweet my Sunday evenings are going to open up.
I don’t know if my heart can take a Susan Mayer Wacky Pregnancy.
Overall I liked it. As Wolfian said, no LOL moments (except perhaps for us Melrose veterans who appreciated the apparent callback to one of Doug Savant’s wig moments from that series) but enough setup to keep me interested.
Based on a visual examination and a few questions? Admittedly I have no truck with gynecologists (not even sure how to spell gynecologist) but menopause seems a reasonable initial diagnosis based on the symptoms presented and the age of the patient. And it’s not like he declared it definitively; he suggested it and performed an appropriate diagnostic test.
Susan appears to be in her early 40s. Menopause doesn’t usually hit until about 45 or 50.
At the best, it was handled rather badly.
She is at a prime age for perimenopause, which is when people start to notice things like skipped periods, hot flashes, night sweats, etc. Perimenopause is when the hormones are fluctuating. Menopause is after the hormones have stopped fluctuating and periods stop entirely. She wasn’t diagnosed with “menopause.”
Some women can go through perimenopause for ten years before their periods actually stop. When they have stopped for a year, then it’s menopause.
I’ll testify to that! Night sweats are the worst, though…
Meh, if having the fictional doctor say “menopause” (which term pretty much anyone watching would be familiar with) instead of “perimenopause” (which term many people including me would not recognize) is the worst sin against realism in an episode of DH then we should all be happy. I don’t recall the exact wording of the scene; did Doctor Tightpants even say “menopause” or was that Susan doing her customary jump to a hysterical conclusion?
I’m thinking he didn’t say the word. I was correcting the idea that if she’s having irregular periods (which is what she claimed) that it means she has menopause and that she’s too young for that.
I don’t consider it even remotely strange that a woman of Susan’s age would go to the doctor with the symptom of irregular periods and that the doctor would suspect perimenopause. She’s the right age, and that’s the right symptom.
And while he should also have suspected pregnancy, apparently he DID suspect pregnancy or they wouldn’t have run a pregnancy test on the blood sample.
Susan’s reaction is a whole 'nother kettle of fish.
It made me reminisce about the The Golden Girls ep where Blanche thinks she pregnant, starts dreaming about a baby, and then learns she is starting menopause.
I’m glad they got the cute doctor from Waitress, but yeah, why did they come back to the same house with the same Room Where Bad Things Happened? I flipped back and forth from Iron Chef so I didn’t catch why they came back.
They didn’t say. Doc Tightpants and the wife were in the room, the wife said something about the kid wanting to move in, Doc Tightpants said why not, the wife said no way, Doc Tightpants said something about are you sorry we came back and the wife said did we have a choice?
If Nathan Fillion is going to be on the show, I’ll be watching.
At the risk of asking the obvious, is Susan’s baby Mike’s or Ian’s?
I was a bit dismayed that they spent the latter part of last year developing Edie’s character and garnering sympathy for her, only to wipe it all away in the first 5 minutes.
The makeup artists did a fabulous job on Huffman’s (Lynette) bald look. I kept looking for the line of the skull cap a la The Coneheads (Greetings, Earthlings), but I didn’t see any, even on a big screen HDTV.
I was wondering how I knew the new neighbor’s husband!
I hope Carlos doesn’t end up murdering Edie now that she knows about the secret bank account. I think Wisteria Lane has seen enough murders and enough male characters get the axe.
Anybody else notice the “Eva Longoria Parker” in the titles?
:smack: I didn’t even think of that.
I laughed out loud during the “okay…relax. And…relax.”
I love Nathan Fillion.
I had a couple laugh out loud moments, like when Orson told Bree should couldn’t keep roughing up old ladies for trying to feel her belly.
Of course Susan won’t know who’s baby it is. Draaaama. Wouldn’t be Susan otherwise.
Edie can die now. She’s just a little too evil. She entertained me last season but she’s lost her charm. Die already. I just hope Carlos doesn’t do it.
I heard a mild spoiler about a new couple going to move onto Wisteria Lane: A gay male couple. Hopefully it will be fun, and not too cliche.
Whatever happened to Mike’s son and adoptive father? Can’t remember.
Paul is in jail or prison following being framed by Mrs. huber’s crazy sister for her, the sister’s, murder (remember she cut off a couple of her fingers?). Dana is using his dead grampy’s money to try to buy himself some friends (last seen trying to date Gaby).
