"Could I Ever Leave You?"

Dr. DVD

Can anyone give me a rundown of what happened? For some reason my DVR couldn't get both this and Sopranos.

I watched Sopranos live, and in all honesty I think that was time better spent.

We find out that chocolate milk can wean a 5-year boy off breast-feeding.

We find out that Caleb still jones for Matthew's girlfriends.

We find out that Carl is a sneaky bastiche who blows up Susan's relationship with the doctor by showing the doc who "Mike" of "I love Mike" is.

We find out that Bree is pretty near rock bottom with her drinking, passing out in the department store after downing a bottle, and waking up inside a locked store.

We find out that you can play to Gabby's vanity to squeeze even more out of the Solises if they want your baby.

And we found out that 5 min of breast feeding is the equivalent of 30 min of cardio!

And maybe its just me, but Teri Hatcher is the WORST at physical comedy ever...ugh...

and we found out that the Constitution does not apply to ugly people!!

That Gabrielle, she is so silly! ::

Red Dog

What kind of clothing store has a bar in it?

Gabby once again was the highlight of the episode. The rest is just crap, except for the guard taking the snaphot.

Red Dog

Wine to Goodwill?

Snowmaker

The kind with a liquor license probably.

That non-fight between Mike and the doctor kind of reminded me of the ones between Hugh Grant and the other guy in the Bridget Jones movies.

MrX

The Lynette story was pointless yet again

They should just spin Gabby and Carlos off onto there own show.

Groucho

So, what's the deal with Carl:

a) He's in love with Susan
b) He wants Susan and Mike to get together
c) He's a sociopath

Snowmaker

The actress playing the prego-stripper is Nichole Hiltz

Tracer Bullet

The Applewhite stuff was obviously in there just to remind us about them.

The Bree/Andrew stuff was just stupid.

This show is inching closer and closer to irrelevance, which means I'll have an extra 45 minutes of free time next season.

I enjoyed the non-fight between Mike and Dr Ron that Karl set up. That was about it.

I couldn't believe what Carl did. That was pretty low, even though Susan probably deserves it.

And I don't know what department store Bree was at, but I'd like to start going there. It would make shopping so much more tolerable if I could get a little buzz going while I'm doing it. And Andrew seems to be sinking to new lows every week. Threatening to accuse his mother of molestation?! Talk about hitting below the belt (only a slight pun intended ). But it looks like his boy toy might be thinking that Andrew is going too far as well. He might end up helping Bree.

And I found the breast-feeding storyline highly disturbing. My sister has a 7-month-old that she is still breast feeding, though starting to wean him off, so I think I had a little extra reason to get the creeps at watching that.

Gabby and Carlos were very entertaining as always, but it looks like they are about to get taken to the cleaners by the expectant mother.

After last week's great "Season One-ish" episode, this one returns to the drab Season Two vibe. Only the Gabby/Carlos storyline really stood out, and that was despite the eye-rolling ridiculousness of the "ugly person" at the beginning. (I guess it's not P.C. to have a realistic-looking ugly woman, so they had to go into the ludicrous zone.)

Although on Lynette's storyline with the breastfeeding mom, that kid won't know how lucky a 5-year-old he was for about another 10 years.

A 7 month old? You are kidding, right? Even the AAP recommends breastfeeding for at least a year. The WHO recommends a minimum of two years.

I was bothered by the portrayal of extended breastfeeding because they really got it wrong. A nursing toddler or older child certainly doesn't nurse every time he is thirsty and they certainly do drink other liquids out of a cup. They nurse for comfort as much for nourishment at that age.

My son is 19 months old and he still nurses in the morning, at naptime, and at bedtime. It is often the only thing that calms him down to sleep and it is the first thing he wants if he ever falls or hurts himself.

Many parents have to eventually get their kids off of bottles and pacifiers so its no different for a breastfed child, who gets the real thing and not a rubber mama substitute.

Was she the one from the Shield? She looked really familiar.

Patman

Re: Nichole Hiltz

She was also on The O.C. in the first season as one of of Caleb's ladies.

She will also be on Smallville Thursday night.

Snowmaker

Since when are Roger Daltrey amd Pete Townsend experts on breastfeeding?

Big Boy Laroux

i normally hate anything having to do with Susan. But that "fight" scene was hilarious. I'm liking Carl more with every episode.

So I guess the pregnant stripper's boyfriend doesn't know she's trying to give up the baby? another monkeywrench in the Solis' plans to get a kid.

xVladx

Hm, I didn't even think of that. I guess I assumed that the stripper and the boyfriend were both in on it as a plan to scam the Solises out of gifts, then keeping the kid anyway, but I guess it could go either way.

Original Desmond

Great episode ! All storylines worked well this week

Love the hot Milf breastfeeding the 5 year old

Also love Susan's ex husbands (now current hubby)'s deviousness

Not too fussed about the whole black family story, they haven't fitted in

Well, Nordstrom for one... although the bar is located in its own room off the men's section. I used to love being able to leave the missus to do her thing whilst I downed a couple of pints of Bass. It makes shopping so much more fun!

It was a bit silly having the wine bar in the middle of the shopping floor, though. But maybe that's just me.

Oh, and most department stores had restaurants\tea rooms in them back in the day. I remember my grandmother taking me to the ones at Rich's (a formerly Atlanta-owned department store, now owned by some huge corporation... Federated Department Stores, I think). In fact, she took me to "Breakfast With Santa" there every year from when I was 4 until they stopped doing it... when I was 8, I think.

Can you really get that drunk from wine that you pass out?

It would seem like you would need to drink a lot of wine to get to the passing out stage. It would take me a few glasses to even feel a buzz.
