It was so funny when Mrs. McCluskey was telling Edie's husband, Dave, about the relationship that she has with Edie, saying, "I say she's easier to get into than a community college, and she says my face looks like a knee." LOFL!

Also, Dave gives me the creeps!

I love when this show throws in a real gem, proving that there is more than the superficial. That stuff with Gabby and Carlos, and getting thrown out of the dinner, was excellent. I love the words of wisdom from Carlos, "We haven't lost anything, except the chance to hobnob with a bunch of unhappy stuck-up snobs. I rub those people, and I can tell you, they are just as unhappy as I was when I was out chasing that stuff. We haven't lost anything that matters." Great stuff and it is so true! I LOVE this show!

A-
Neal McDonough makes a creepy addition to the neighborhood, but I HATE Susan's crap storyline and the crap actor who plays her boyrfriend.

"Dear Porter,
I really like you. But I'd like to see other offspring."

"...we have two beautiful little girls that love us more than ice cream"

Does there always have to be a psycho in the neighbourhood

Oh, yes! Because, without one, it wouldn't be Wisteria Lane, and it wouldn't be Desperate Housewives!

Lynette really crossed a line with Parker.

OldDude · 10-06-08, 08:47 AM

I seem to be in the minority, but I'm not very fond of the whole "five years ahead" storylines. Is this the plan for the whole season? I may be out if it is.

cdollaz · 10-06-08, 09:05 AM

I like the five year jump ahead. It allows them to explore new stories with the characters at different stages in life.

Geofferson · 10-06-08, 09:19 AM

^ Agreed -- I like how this season is moving along thus far.

So is it the year 2013 on the show? Only the kids have aged and technology / cars seem the same.

cdollaz · 10-06-08, 09:42 AM

I would rather they spend their time writing good stories than trying to guess what cars/technology will be like in five years.

Lynette went into total douchbag territory there. Really uncool. I did really like Orson going into Dale Cooper mode though at the end there.

It could have been worse. I was waiting for him to try and cyber her or send her a lewd pic. Glad they didn't go there.

And when was that magical time when he told his mom everything? I guess that must have been if they had flashed backwards instead of forwards, because he never seemed close to his mom in the original timeline either.

Vipper II · 10-07-08, 07:13 AM

So, did they just write Penny out completely, ala the younger sister on Family Matters?

Am I the only who foresees a possible teen suicide attempt involving Porter and Lynette losing it because she sees herself at fault

The show has definitely been dramatic in several areas, but I think that would be a little too dramatic.

They already had a teen suicide attempt by Bree's daughter in season 2. I would have forgot about it if I wasn't watching this on netflex.
