Desperate Housewives, 11/07/2004

I'll let somebody else post the episode "clue." Just wanted to point out that if you use the Saturday night rebroadcast to catch up, there isn't one this week due to a three hour movie. Either watch it or tape/tivo it tonight.

It seems that they do the saturday night catch up every two weeks for the sake of LOST. That way they have a two hour block to fill in before Desperate housewives repeat.

As I suspected, I missed the first half of the episode, thanks to a malfunctioning PVR. Glad that it got rebroadcast last night to catch up on everything that I missed.

Thanks for the warning about the lack of a Sat night rebroadcast.

In Cleveland, the show is being pre-empted for the Browns/Ravens game. DHW is being aired at 12:05, after the news. I thought I'd record just that hour, and catch up Sat if the game ends early or runs late. Looks like I need to pad my DHW recording!

I watched the pretitle sequence scene a few times. Eva

Lynette on the uppers was pretty funny, the rest of her story not so much.

I was hoping Bree and Rex would have had sex and they show him crying afterwards

The woman most definitely did not disappoint tonight.

Marcia Cross - you look pretty damn good, I will give you that much.

I have one criticism of Eva Longoria - her legs are little-bitty toothpicks.

Felicity Huffman's Lynette was pretty funny, especially when she was juiced up by the twins' downers.

And Susan's daughter will do anything for her mother - what a remarkable child...and funny, too.

Sounds like I missed the good scenes (especially with Eva and Marcia)!!!!. For some reason, Tivo didn't record it last night, and we only caught the last 20 minutes.

I checked for re-runs this Saturday, and it will not be aired due to Harry Potter being aired.... any chance for a rerun elsewhere?

Is it true that ADD drugs will have that effect?

I have a friend who was addicted to it for a while and he claims it does.

Rex being gay was the first thing that came to our minds...

Fun episode recap:

Gabby and Momma Solis battle for Carlos's soul, it would seem. Gabby finds out about Momma's gambling problem and uses it to set up Momma for a fall that would convince Momma that Gabby really does love Carlos and isn't cheating on him. Momma almost falls for it, but then her attention goes to John due to Gabby's attempted non-interaction with him as she is walking from her car to the house with John hedging the walkway.

Lynette had a fun time dealing with an impossibly politically correct mother re-writing the school play "Little Red Riding Hood". Lynette really had some good lines with her showdown of the bully mom (Sharon Lawrence) of the group.

Bree looked mighty fetching in fur and lingerie. Too bad for Rex, she's easily distracted by impending food stains. That was a pretty scene. The other funny scene was Bree inviting herself to have lunch with her therapist, and finally he gives in, but charges her for the session. After Bree's minor dissertation of the profundity of sex, her therapist is so flustered that when the waiter shows up, he asks for the check, and the waiter tells him he hasn't even ordered anything yet. LOL.

Susan is more up for the challenge of digging up the 411 on Paul and Zach after she finds out that Zach is being kept in a juvenile mental health facility. Susan even uses her daughter to sneak in/blend in to get to Zach. Zach mentions "Dana" as being the cause for the turmoil in his household. Later, the camera zooms in a on blanket and bowl that Susan bought from Paul's yard sale, and the blanket had the name "Dana" on it. It makes you think there was a daughter in the Young family, and it died suddenly, and this would tie in with that baby's chest that Paul tried to sink into the bottom of the pond/lake.

I came up with the gay theory, too, but my wife had a good theory:

Spoiler:
They're all really dead and the island is granting their wishes. No, wait. That's not it. My wife's theory is that Rex's secret is that he likes it messy.

Lynette had some of the best scenes in this episode.

There seems like there must be something else to the Zach story because if he simply killed a little sister, why would the family run? Would they be worried about social services taking him away them?

But what if Zach didn't do it, but saw someone else do it. That would kind of explain his reaction when he saw his Dad dig up the chest.

Assuming that Zach killed sister Dana, and she was in the toy box...why would the press simply report "human remains" and not "child remains" or "baby remains"? Also, they go through the trouble of burying the body under the swimming pool, but leave a blanket with DANA on it sitting around (and then sell it at a garage sale?)

I was going to ask how they could get away with covering up the death of a child, but since nobody noticed when two of Lynette's children vanished into thin air, I guess it's okay.

I'm hoping RFK's "secret" is a bit better than him being secretly gay. I would actually like his "bedroom wish" to be something that's hilarious, rather than mundane and soap-opera like.

Or...Zach DID do it, but everyone thinks someone else did.
