Here's hoping for another great ep.!

Good episode.

Spoiler:
We learn more about Mike, we see that Bree is a little psycho, and we find out that Lynette can stoop pretty low.

We didn't already know that? ;)

I'm so totally hooked on this show. Can't wait to buy it on DVD.

This was the funniest ep. by far. I just wish they would get more focus on Mike and the mystery storylines.
Also, while I like to look at Nicolette Sheridan, I think Edie is getting overexposed.

cdoug57 01-16-05 09:07 PM

I am really awaiting more information about the mystery that Mike is investigating.

Susan - "Guess I need to go take a shower and wash Mrs. Huber off." :D

Next weeks promo also looks good.

Dr. DVD 01-16-05 09:09 PM

I was thinking that the doctor (Roger Bart) was just going to be a minor character, but now I am thinking that he may yet have an important part to play. He might very well figure into the storyline of Deirdre.

Patman 01-16-05 09:39 PM

Plenty of LOL moments in this episode.

Did they really shave Lynette's oldest kid's head?

Bree getting George's toe shot off was funny, but I guess it'd be funnier had I not seen the same thing on "The Mountain" a few episodes ago.

Susan's confession and Edie's reaction was great. I would've dove into the lake after that happened. No way would I be riding back 90 miles with Huber on the face.

Gabby's subplot was only funny when she tortured Carlos with the fried chicked by walking across the street and eating it because she knew he couldn't leave the premises of his yard.

So Mike's mission becomes clearer and murkier.

Huber's sister is pretty cold-hearted.

Edie tossing the ashes on Susan had me rotfl

Jray 01-16-05 09:50 PM

OK, so who is Deirdre? We've never heard a peep about this woman before, have we?

I think this is the first time we've heard her name but they have mentioned she's the reason Mike is there.

Red Dog 01-16-05 11:03 PM

It was a good episode, but the riot that was tonight's Boston Legal made me forget almost everything.

Trigger 01-17-05 12:08 AM

My girlfriend likes this show, but I fall asleep or get bored and drift off every time it's on.

movieking 01-17-05 05:46 AM

I liked it. I want to know more about Mike's backstory.

I laughed when Bree got the gun as a present, and her reaction to it. It just seems so strange coming from her character.

I wasn't really that surprised. She seems like the kind of person with a lot of pent up anger and having a gun would be the perfect outlet for her rage.

JasonF 01-17-05 10:38 AM

They mentioned the fact that Bree is a gun nut in the first episode.

tofu 01-17-05 01:04 PM

Good episode. It was such a Susan moment to have the ashes thrown on her at the lake and then get hosed off.

The Carlos and Gabby plot bores me although I suppose that a good fight is coming when/if she finds out what Carlos did to her birth control pills.

JetSter735180 01-17-05 01:58 PM

ok...it's all comming together......

Spoiler:
The women Mike is looking for was probably pregnant, and Paul and Mary Alice killed her for some reason....probably to keep the Baby, they called Dana. But there son killed the Baby.....

NORML54601 01-17-05 02:52 PM

Funniest episode yet.

Bree shooting a gun :drool:

B.A. 01-17-05 04:10 PM

Bree's reaction to the receiving the Luger was the only good part of her storyline.

Lynette continues to bring the funny. "Mommy, am I going to die?" :lol:

Susan should have dove into that lake and taken a nice long swim.

At least Gabrielle's story gets a little more interesting now that her hubbie is home.

I wish they would continue to focus on Mike's murder mystery a little more, too.

Fok 01-17-05 04:51 PM

This show kinda reminds me of the X-files, always keeping you guessing. Next week show looks pretty good.

I don't know about that. Paul can be mean, but I doubt both he and Mary Alice would go that far.

EDIT: FWIW, while I think Teri Hatcher does a good job on the show, I do not think she comes anywhere near the level of Felicity Huffman or Marcia Cross. Despite what she claimed in her speech, I doubt she was approaching the level of "has been" before this show. I have a feeling the fact that she was the biggest name in the cast might have played a part in her winning as opposed to performance.

nightwing82 01-17-05 09:26 PM

Im glad Teri won, that's who I was routing for. Marcia Cross had a lot of good lines though in the show. She will probably win next year.

The actress in the picture of Deirdre... was that the same actress who played the uptight social studies teacher on Boston Public? Her name was Jocelyn Gislig or something like that.
