Desperate Housewives - "Color and Light" - 11/13
 

"Color and Light"

I enjoyed Gabrielle's storyline tonite. Otherwise, awful episode.

So will Gabrielle have a miscarriage? I remember reading about Eva Longoria not wanting to wear a prosthetic belly prior to the season's start.

Marc Cherry was back and so was Desperate Housewives. :up:

Agree. You could tell this was a thowback to the good days of the show.

Was that man George murdered the detective investigating Rex's murder, or does George just randomly kill people?

Wasn't it Bree's therapist?

Yeah, I was glad to see Marc Cherry listed as the writer for tonight's episode.

Lynette's subplot was played up for good laughs. But I never need to see Larry Miller in boxers ever again.

Gaby had to feel the sting after she went to all that trouble to not appear pregnant, but was sussed out within moments by her former model pals. And then will this meeting with Caleb and her subsequent fall be the reason for a possible miscarriage.

Bree's subplot gave us even more sociopathic behavior by George who dispatched Dr. Goldfein with nary a hint of guilt, but with cold, steely resolve. Bree is going to be in for a nice about of shock once George's past deeds come to light.

The Applewhites finally make that real big impression on Wisteria Lane, whether or not the neighborhood knows it yet.

Susan's subplot was okay, a little predictable, but her daughter's reacton to finding mom and dad together in bed was entertaining. The plumber really is still mad at Susan.

Yeah, I'm suprised they left it without resolution. Is he alive? Dead? What?

Anyone else think that they dimly lit/hid Caleb's face when he was looking at Gaby late last week after the actor was fired?

The wife and I couldn't handle it anymore and we bailed after ten minutes...and everyone here thinks it was the best show of the season. :lol:

yeah, i was wondering if caleb was the original or not.

i am hoping that the george/bree subplot will be wrapped up soon. it's getting kinda old. it will be nice to see bree go off on him.

and about bree's daughter in the bikini smoking the cigarette? don't i remember that she was some sort of good girl?

I think having your dad die, your brother shipped back to a reform school, and your mother dating a creepy guy could have a negative impact on you.

all the shots of caleb were either out of focus or his face wasn't lit. of course, that's to be expected after the actor was fired. I think they edited/handled it fairly well.

First of all, we need some screencaps of the Van de Camp girl in the bikini. Stat!

Secondly, Gaby probably will miscarry from the fall. We all knew it would happen. It was just a matter of when and how.

Third, goddamn George is a cold-blooded killer! Well, at least the therapist can concentrate full time again as Ted the Lawyer on Scrubs :lol:

Fourth, glad to finally see a Lynette storyline that doesn't involve the office. I'm not sure yet, but maybe we need an arc for Lynette instead of the conflict of the week? OR maybe there are too many arcs going on already.

Fifth, I'm pretty tired of the Susan/Mike story. Resolve that shit already.

That's about all I can think of for now. Otherwise, pretty good episode.

Honestly, I think it could also be a red herring for Gaby to suspect Applewhite Jr.

This was a :up: ep. Getting tired of George though. And figures, I finally like Gaby from something other than the way she looks in lingerie, and she'll probably have a miscarriage..

Yep.

In the scene where George and Bree were talking after she walked out of the suprise party, she told him "I'm starting to think that it was a mistake rushing into this engagement", then "and I'm not the only one who thinks that, other people have said the same thing to me." (Geoge says something like "what other people? Andrew?), Bree replied "Dr. Goldstein, my therapist".

And yes, we could use some screencaps of Bree's daughter.

And that preview for the upcoming Lost episode looks great!

Poor Ted! We never did get a clear shot of what was at the bottom of that gulch. If it's water, then maybe he survived. If it's ground, then he's probably dead. It sounded like he made a thud when he hit bottom. Oh well. As cliffzig mentioned, Scrubs starts airing again in a couple months, so I guess they had to let him get back to that. :)

Earlier this year, there was some talk about how it was uncertain whether or not George poisoned Rex. That we never saw him actually put the potassium in the medication. I think it's pretty clear now, though, that George is more than capable of that and won't let anyone stand in the way of him and Bree.

No, remember last year when Rex and Bree found the condoms and thought they were Andrew's, but it turned out it was the daughter's?

I still say George didn't kill Rex. Was he capable of killing him? Absolutely, but that doesn't mean he did..

Rob

And I don't remember her having that body. -eek-

that's exactly what i was thinking..

There was definitely a thud when he hit the bottom.

Pretty good episode, IMO.
I'm tired of the George/Bree thing too. I hope that ends. If not, I can see George tampering with Bree's birthcontrol so he can have the kids he wants and she doesn't....

Finally an episode where Teri Hatcher isn't completely annoying.

oh, good point about the other son. gabby will probably think it was him.

Fun episode. Loved Gabby trying to get into that dress. :lol:

George was great. When he biked across that bridge, I thought he's going to throw the shrink over. Then I thought - no way - that is way too obvious. Then he did it - so business-like and matter-of-factly. Great stuff. :lol:

George pushing the shrink over was great:lol:

Susan continues to drag the show down whenever she's go screen.

How does George giving Rex the wrong LIFE SAVING medicine, leading directly to his death, not equate to killing him? I mean, he KNOWINGLY gave Rex the wrong drug, in hopes that he WOULD die.....
