Desperate Housewives Season 1-8 General Discussion Thread (Spoilers)

I have enjoyed it quite nicely.

I think season 3 is great. It might be a bit jumpy because of certain unexpected events (ie: Marcia Cross being pregnant) which they had to work around. Besides the normal script and plot changes such an event would cause they even had to set up a few sets at her house because she was put on bed rest for the latter part of her pregnancy. For instance the scene with her and Orsen when they are in bed lying down talking.

I admit certain episodes seemed like the tried to put a lot into it to make everything work and tie it together while over focusing some issues because of certain physical issues with the characters (mainly Marcia lol).

But overall I think they pulled this season off quite well and gave us a few smiles and laughs along the way.  And yes there were some excellent episodes in there like "Bang".

&&& I CANT WAIT FOR THE SEASON FINALE! I think Gabby and Victor's wedding wont go through and as for the "surprise" wedding I think its going to be Mike and Susan... but I don't know if that will be much of a surprise since I think we all know it's bound to happen! LOL or at least so I'm hoping.

Maybe Carlos crashes Vic and Gabby's wedding and they get re-married?? LOL THATS A LONG SHOT.

Yes I saw them! Thanks for posting them I had only scene the one where Lynette was crying. I'm so anxious to see tonight's episode. I've got it set to a timer and already told my hubby the TV is mine at 9! LOL

I seriously hope she doesn't. But trying to piece the episode promos together I think she wont well I can say at least in this episode because Tom will see it all from the video camera and from that one shot when he comes in and is talking to her I think he'd be more upset if he really caught her doing anything. I think he'll jump to that conclusion when he first sees it but she will explain. However if anything I think she might kiss what's his face. I know the episode guides have been saying that Lynette finds out she loves another man. But you know how you cant always take what it says at face value. The like to throw little twists.

But in all honesty Tom and Lynette's relationship has been through so much this season, it feels like they are just setting us up for something bad to happen. =/

Aww thats too bad, oh but wait if you access to abc.com you can catch it there tonight after it first airsI believe. Here's the link just in case:

http://abc.go.com/primetime/desperate/index.html

Once there you click watch it now and then launch the player and scroll over to desperate housewives and choose the episode on the far right.  It's free and the picture quality is perfect!

Its pretty much commercial free aslo, well way less than you see from the tv. You get like a 30 second commercial 3 or so times for the entire show.

This was a great episode. I mean did you see Felicity Huffman's performance especially what happened with Rick when she told him to leave. Wow.

And I loved it when Tom told that sleaze to buzz off! A lot of people have been ragging on Tom. I don't care I still love him! I mean they have both done certain things that has tested their relationship, but those test are what shows the strength of a relationship. I'd be very sad to see this relationship come to and end.        

On another note Mike and Susan are cute as always. I'm pretty sure there the ones that will get married but I think the have something in store for them in the next season! Especially with Mike's brother coming to Wisteria.

As for Gabby she got me a little upset in this one. By no means was that guy not a jerk and I cant believe how he bruised her wrist, but sometimes she really gets in there and pushes peoples buttons. Its sort of the same thing that happened in her relationship with Carlos. Don't get me wrong I like her lil spunk, it's just sometimes she can be a little too cruel or rather unthoughtful. I really wish she didn't loose her baby or at least that the adoption could have stuck. IMO she needs someone like Carlos! Some one that bring her back to reality every once in a while. But I guess this is all that makes Gabby Gabby. Take it or leave it you got to lover her for who she is.

By the way I for one did notice that Bree's been gone for the last two episodes. I miss her! I cant wait for her to get back even tho it wont be until the last episode!

So did you see the sneak peak for the next episode? Here's a link just in case:

I think she's the one that has the health scare. Might suspect cancer. That's a usual health scare in tv shows.

As for Edie! I can't wait to see what happens either, if she's really preggers. I feel so bad for her cause I think Carlos is still madly in love with Gabby.

And Your Welcome! It was my pleasure

The show description says its just a health scare, but we know how those can be. Let's hope it really just a scare if it is cancer the suspect!

Episode 3.22 Discussion! What Would We Do Without You?

One of the housewives faces a potentially fatal health scare. A long-awaited marriage proposal keeps the residents of Wisteria Lane full of things to discuss with their neighbors. Carlos gets evicted from the Sims house. Edie hatches a plan to keep Carlos by her side and in her house.

I think this is such a wonderful title for the day, (Mother's Day) because I don't know what I'd do without her!

Anyways I think this episode will probably be centered mostly around Susan and Mike's engagement and Gabby's wedding plans. So on those notes I wonder how Mike will pop the question? He looks a little traditional when it comes to that sort of thing but with Susan's quirkiness it should bring a smile to our faces.

Now a little bit off topic of DH, how do you imagine your proposal, or if you're already married how was it like?

I don't know if any of you have watched Paula Dean from the Food Network, I think the way her husband proposed to her was so as she says "Romantical" and original. But I love a more intimate proposal as opposed to a big gesture one.

I can't wait!

I see a lot of my theories coming to play! From the promos I can see Bree's 'pregnant' (or as I think, pretending to be). Besides that I really think Victor has some sort of alterer motive (I'm guessing something to pull votes). Anyways I'll stop speculating and just wait and watch as life unfolds on Wisteria Lane!

aww magic I'm sorry to hear that, but you never know someone else might come along and change your heart.  

now back to DH, so i just watched this episode again, and it was a bit emotional. It had me giggling when Susan and Mike got engaged and when Gabby and Susy Q got a lil tipsy while discussing their weddings, then it had me tearing up when Lynette and Tom were fighting and again when she heard the news.

one hour to go now until the big season finale!

So here's my review of this episode (WARNING: Season 3 Finale Spoilers Ahead!)








There were several emotions I experience while watching this episode:

(Relief)      Bree Hodge was like a breath of fresh air that has been missing for the last few weeks. Her return has been highly anticipated by fans and I for one was anxiously waiting. Her "pregnancy" is sure to be an interesting twist in season 4, and I know it will bring quite a few laughs. The minute I heard Orson's plan as he revealed before he went on his trip, I knew that Bree would concoct some big scheme plan and this was just what I figured. I can't wait to see how it all pans out next season since we'll be coming back just about the time the baby is due.

(Angst)            Now as for Lynette's Mom. She was such a character and had me laughing from the get go. Certainly a strong headed takes no crap sorta woman that will be sure to spark some fire. I'll definitely be looking forward to seeing more of her. I felt so sad about Lynette she's been going through so much especially within the last few months. Her life's been a roller coaster everything from getting shot, career changes, problems at home and now to top it all off cancer! It lets me wonder what's next and I am however still a bit uneasy about Tom and Lynette's relationship. Though they have come around and have finally started to talk there is still a lot up in the air. I hope these two work things out and that this is not the straw that breaks the camels back so to speak.

(Resentment)      Going on to Gabby and Victor I was suspicious about him from the start and now his true colors have finally come out into the open! I can't believe he stooped so low as to marrying Gabby because she was Hispanic and it would help his campaign. What a Jerk! She better leave him and leave him fast! But I'm pretty sure this wont go so easy.

(Joy)      Susan and Mike's surprise wedding was so romantic and beautiful. It definitely brought tears to my eyes. But I can't help and wonder if the happiness they are having right now will last for much longer. What will season 4 have in store for these newly weds.

(Stunned)    ...    Now for the shocker! I really felt for Eddie when Carlos told her things were over but what did she really think was going to happen. As well I've always thought that Carlos and Gabby were meant for each other, but by no means did I ever expect Eddie to ever do what she did! Another suicide on Wisteria lane was certainly not what I expected, especially not for the confident and spunky Eddie Britt. But then again when you think about how things have been going for the last few weeks, she did start showing signs of a change in character… Being still in shock I don’t know how to feel about this, what if she’s really dead… Well we’ll all have the next 4 or so months to figure that out for ourselves.

All in all I think this episode was good, though Id wish they had more time to pan out the stories a bit, it was a lot to fit into only a 1hr show. Even though the did leave us with a lot of questions, a big one for sure being if Edie has really met her end, this is the season finale and for all we know things might all still be up in the air.

I’ll surely be tuning in next season to see what happens. How about you?

I think Lynette and her mom actually share a few qualities! LOL The both seem like strong minded women, and have both made mistakes in their past. I think she was funny with the kids though I wouldn't want to have her for a grandmother! LOL

As for Gabby and Victor I totally agree but I don't think he will make it easy for her!

My sentiments about Gabby and Carlos exactly!

Susan popping the question was such a her moment! LOL

As for Eddie you either love her or hater her, Right. I personally felt bad for her, and she was good for a few laughs.

Well can't wait for next season! I wished they had revealed something about the next mystery!
