overall, i thought the episode was pretty good. would like to know what hand mike lost to in the poker game though!

I was smiling during Rex's narration. How many other dead people could show up and do the narration for DH?

Geofferson

^ I hope Rex narrates again in future episodes. I too had a smile on my face.

All in all, this episode was damn-near perfect, IMO. Gabby got off a great one-liner and I got a good laugh seeing Lynette stranded on the windy, desolate road.

Red Dog

I agree on all counts.

Was Ian dealing the cards when they both basically went all-in? I figured he was cheating.

Yes great balance of everything, though I thought the storyline involving Gabrielle and John Slattery's character was bit of a snooze. Rex taking the reins over Mary Alice was a long time coming. And with Rex doing the DH voiceover, I guess it was time for the men to be a little more catty.

Susan, Mike, Ian - story just went up a few amps. How long until Mike breaks his silence?
Still a bit indifferent to the Austin, Julie, Van de Tramp plot.

Rex saying he's glad he is dead

Very good episode. The Scavos were hilarious.

There was a time when Rex was going to be the narrator in Season 2, but it was decided to stick with Mary Alice instead. I don't think Rex as Narrator would work every week, but it was a nice change.

If they ever kill off one of the main housewives, I could see them taking over for Mary Alice, whose family isn't a very big part of the show anymore.

Weird how they used a body double for Bree. I guess she must have been having the baby during the taping. I wonder how her availability would have changed the ep.

They really didn't have much chemistry IMHO. Slattery definitely has done better - I believed his character with Carrie on Sex and the City but not here.

Right now Mike has nothing to say really. Without his memory, all he knows is that he bought an engagement ring for Susan. Julie is interesting. This episode she was acting exactly like one would expect Susan to act in that situation. I was pretty damn funny!

In the preview for this episode, it looked like Edie was hooking up with Carlos. Hmm... Nothing like that happened!

boogieman03

So was I.

Josh H

Great episode.

I liked the guys bickering over a poker game like the housewives have done numerous times on the show.

Heat

I liked the episode except for one detail...

when Rex and Lynette were served coffee in the diner, there was no steam coming from the coffee. It was just a little thing that made it seem like a prop, thus not "real" (I assume the mugs had water - Rex did swallow after taking a sip).

Do you mean Tom, or did I miss a flashback in the first fifteen minutes?

Josh H

It was Tom.

Jadzia

Just wait until he asks her to pee on him!

Vipper II

Great episode! I really like where they've taken Carlos and Andrew. During the first two seasons, I hated them with a passion, but they've since done one hell of a 180.

dpz301

they certainly do have a better storyline finally.

i liked rex narrating, but my girlfriend didn't. oh well for her i think he is only doing an episode or two if memory serves.

So did anyone notice that early in the show when Tom and Lynette were together Lynette was wearing a thong? If you TIVO'ed, you should check it out.

I liked the idea of Steven Culp doing the narration; I just wish he'd been better at it. Hopefully, it's just because it was his first time, and he'll get better if they have him do it again. Loved the episode overall, BTW.

Kinda cool to see an episode from the male perspective for once.
