Desperate Housewives -- "Marry Me a Little" -- 5/10/09

Photobucket

Synopsis:

Spoiler:


There's deception aplenty on Wisteria Lane: Bree keeps Orson in the dark; Susan and Jackson (Gale Harold) try to fool the authorities; Katherine won't level with Mike; and Tom tries to hide his age. Meanwhile, a witness to Dave's crimes surfaces.



Next week will be the 2 hour season finale.

A boring episode except for Tom's facelift story. But it at least maybe sets up some interesting stuff for next week.

Let's see - I'm going to stage a break-in of my own house and then rent a storage space to house the items under my own name. Brilliant!

It's pretty funny how obvious the producers make Mike and Susan out to be soulmates who will presumably reunite in the long run, yet I can't imagine that anyone who watches the show cares to see that happen.

An OK episode I guess.

And where is this place that you can call INS and have them come, detain, and presumably deport an illegal allien the same day?

The funny thing is that he almost certainly wouldn't be detained. At most, he would receive a summons for removal proceedings.

I have a friend from New Zealand who was on a trip to the US doing some extensive engineering work. After a few months, he decided to bring his family up for a little vacation and take a Caribbean cruise. But he failed to notice that his three-month visa had expired during the cruise. When they arrived back in Florida, even though he had a valid NZ passport, had a couple of really cute blonde-haired kids in tow, and was with his American-born wife who had a valid American passport, they immediately threw him in jail. Did the whole perp-walk thing in manacles.

It wasn't really a big problem as he got out and was sent home the same day (only to come back the next week with a proper one-year work visa!) but this is just to show that the INS takes these matters very seriously these days.

Agree on all parts. Ready to end this season.

They really dropped the ball when they killed Tell-it-like-it-is Slut Edie and kept boring, desperate Katherine around.

And I like Dana Delany.

Do these characters every learn ANYTHING? Gaby supposedly has all these stories to make her grow as a person, and then bam, she's constantly back at square one.

I thought for a second he was being dragged away for a bachelor party, but then I realized I was watching the Housewives and not House.

Not at all happy with what they have given her after the good storyline last year.

I have to agree with the poster that asked do these characters grow?
They always revert back so they can do the same jokes in different situations.
The show is getting old.

I think the writers made a mistake making Katherine's character too much like Bree's. It was interesting at first, seeing them square off against each other as the perfect housewife, but now that has run its course, there really isn't much to do with her character. She really doesn't have much to differentiate herself.

I think that is also my issue with the show. It's the same thing as four years ago, just different plot lines.

By the way, whatever happened to the black family from a year or two ago, the one with the kid locked up in the basement? I missed most of that season.

Orson immediately saying he didn't do it when they came home was pretty funny. That seemed like a pretty big jump to make how he figured out her plan just by the phone call.
