Ouch! I thought Brie looked like a shrew when they were filming that commercial. I mean really bad!!

CKMorpheus

Really? I thought that extremely tight outfit suited her well.

Gunde

I kinda think Gabby is hotter now....
Susan looks a lot better this year too

Jadzia

Isn't he American?

IMDB says he was born in Decatur, Georgia.

Patman

Then he was talking with a weird accent (not sure if his character is supposed to have a non-American accent). Oh wait, he calls Toronto his home. Maybe he's picked up a bit of a Canadian accent, then.

I'll concede that this is an improvement over the evil daughter storyline from last season, but now we get two wacky teenage boys! And we get to be reminded just how big of a failure Tom and Lynette have been as parents. I guess I'm just not too optimistic at the direction the twin boys are going to be heading. I could easily be wrong, though.

Patman

I'm sure the evil daughter will show up this season and she'll be hot to trot since she's also 5 years older, causing Tom more headaches.

Being that Teri Hatcher is supposedly only 5 years older than Gale Harold, I guess that shows how youthful Gale looks in comparison.

And yes -- I hope Gale's not on "DH" too long because he deserves to be the lead in a show.

Red Dog

This Gale Harold seems known by a lot of you. I had never seen or heard of him before. What show was he on before?

Howiefan

Queer As Folk.

Jadzia

Besides Brian Kinney in Queer as Folk (his best known role), he also had a memorable stint on Deadwood as Wyatt Earp and starred in the short-lived Fox series Vanished last fall.

He was arguably the best thing about Queer as Folk, and he is just one of those actors that could be huge and carry the right series. I think he has had a hard time getting more mainstream (straight) roles though because he was so good at playing man-eater Brian Kinney. He was almost too good in that role.

I hope DH is the springboard he needs to be seen as a romantic lead. I would love to see him carry a network series.

Red Dog

Hmmm. Apparently not memorable enough for me although that had to be several years ago.

critterdvd

I think I was expecting more. I was just very apathetic with the whole episode. Although I hate Bree's storyline. HATE!

DJariya

Gale Harold was also the lead of the FOX Series Vanished a few years ago, which apparently noone here watched.

Joe Schmoe

Did Bree take Orson back at the end of last season?

What happened to Penny? Are the writers pretending like she never existed?

Gaby looks terrible. Her hotness/shallowness was a big reason why I liked this show. Now that's gone.

Mike and Susan breaking up because she can't get over her guilt and just plain stupid. It's insulting to the audience.

Edie's husband looks to be another one-season psycho storyline. BORING.

I wish Dana Delaney would move out of town.

Someone asked which state is the Eagle State. I don't think the writers have ever said in which state Fairview is located. I think it's a fake town like Salem on "Days of Our Lives."

Does anyone know why the writers jumped the story ahead 5 years? I liked the show the way it was.

riley_dude

I have never been a huge fan of her either. Her personality grates on me. Don't care for this new plot line.
All in all a good episode.

Snowmaker

That's the ONLY thing I knew him from.

rfduncan

Did you? I watched the whole thing and in case you've forgotten, it ran in 2006 (2 years ago). Gale Harold's character was killed off after 8 episodes because the actor was so much trouble on the set...

riley_dude

I hope they have something planned for Katherine. I don't want to see her as Brie's doormat all season.

cliffzig

Katherine is way too strong for that. She will pull off some kinda scheming conniving shit that will serve for some epic conflict w/ Bree.

Patman

I hope Katherine pwns Bree this season.

starseed1981

I hope they both discover that they are lesbians and have urges to "comfort" each other.

big whoppa

I see him now and I still see Brian Kinney. He's an excellent actor so it's good he can get other parts.

As for the rest of the season premiere, it was OK. The ensemble cast is always great. I'm not much a fan of this 5 year shift though and not all that much happened. Edie's beau being a violent psychotic was no surprise.

Vipper II

The jury's still out on the five-year flash forward, but I don't see them returning with a favorable verdict. I was *really* hoping that we had seen the last of Edie, at least as a regular character, but...well, you know the rest. I won't have a problem with Neal McDonough being yet another character with a deep dark secret (can't the writers think of anything new?) if he has a relapse and kills Edie. Unfortunately, I don't see that happening.

I don't necessarily mind Susan and Mike breaking up over the accident, just as long as it doesn't yield another season of us wondering whether they'll get back together - it should be permanent this time, or resolved quickly.

No comment on the Gabby situation.

The Bree/Catherine thing is already annoying. Maybe I'm just sick of seeing characters constantly stabbing each other in the back and the drama that always accompanies such behavior. Again, can't the writers think of anything new?

Enough has already been stated about the twins.

Given that this was just the opener, I'm willing to allow a few more episodes pass to see how things progress.

Rogue588

Perhaps Neal's character has something to do with the wife and child that Mike/Susan killed?

Nah. That'd be too obvious.
