Desperate Housewives -- 5/1/05

[tperes]

WOW! I can't believe there isn't already a post about last night's show. (For the record -- I did a search and nothing came up. If there is already a post, please point me in the right direction!).

Last night was great. That Paul Young is getting creepier and creepier. I think Mike should take a more active role in protecting Susan and her family from him.

Okay, some thougths on what is going on after the revelations last night. If I am right this could be a spoiler....

Deidre, the woman Mike loved and lost, is Zach's mother, and Mike the father. Deidre was the one in the wooden box, that Paul dug up in his back yard, remember? I think Paul and Mary Alice stole Zach (aka Dana, can also be a boy's name) from Deidre (she was a drug-user and Mike was convicted on drug charges). She came looking for him (remember Zach thought he killed his sister or babysitter?), and they killed her and buried her in the back yard under the pool (how they accomplished that is beyond me).

Anyway, I am glad Gabrielle figured out Carlos was tampering w/ her BCP's (although she figured it pretty easily I think), and that is how she got pregnant. Wonder what she will do?

Wonder what will happen w/ Lynette and Tom? Especially since he has a role model for cheating on spouses (in his father), and if you remember back to the beginning of the show, he has a very high libido.

Anyway, I love this entertainment-factor in this show. Can't believe there are only 3 more left this season. How can they top all of this next year?

Lynette is starting to wear on me.

I thought last night's ep was the best of the season.

The whole show is beginning to wear on me. It started out funny and interesting, quickly went to campy (but still interesting), now is getting stupid. Why would Gabrielle talk to a priest? Why would she announce in public at the party that she was pregnant (obviously we aren't having an abortion that she really wants)?

Why would Bree continue on with George? When is George going to fill the prescription properly and kill Rex (since the dosage has been upped). Why would Susan go into Paul's house after Mike warned her about him? Why would Paul listen to Zach and NOT move?

I'm all for suspending reality...but some reality would be nice :rolleyes:

I enjoyed last night's show as well but had some of the same questions as Tyra.

They haven't provided information one way or the other about Mike possibly being Zack's father. They've connected Zack/Dana with Deidre....and they've connected Deidre with Mike. As creepy as Zack is, I hope he doesn't end up related to Mike. In this case, I'd be more inclined to believe the creepy Paul was fooling around with Deidre so he's the biological creepy father. (Creepiness doesn't fall far from the tree?? :eek: )

I can't believe Susan went into Paul's house after Mike's warning. That's incredibly creepy how Paul keeps just appearing....the trunk as Mrs. Huber's house when she was killed, another car scene with Felicia's car, and then the trash can last night with Susan. C-r-e-e-p-y!!!!!!

Who do you think started the fire at Susan's house? Accidental fire from a candle and the pilot light (that I thought was a long-shot...how many people have pilot lights plus have candles??!!?? Close to 100%??) Paul (aka Mr. Creepy)?? Zack (son of Mr. Creepy)???

Paul could have gone into the house and turned the gas on the stove, assuming it's gas, that is. Or, could it have been Mike, so that Susan would be more afraid of Paul and then get closer to him.

I'm still enjoying the show - it's quirky so that's what makes it fun.

BTW - did anyone notice that the PI Susan went to see is the one that Paul went to so that he could knock of Edie (before he knew it wasn't her that sent that letter). I wonder if he will tell, or what he will do?

I actually really like Lynette. The whole corporate mom with out of control kids thing really cracks me -- or maybe I know too many people like that;)
Last night's episode was okay, but not the best IMHO. It made me giggle that Gabriella saw the priest and he blew her off.
I don't understand why Bree is starting up her relationship with the pharmacist again -- that doesn't make sense.
My favorite line was Mrs. Huber's sister saying, "Don't look shocked, Martha. It makes you look fat."

I'm glad thjey low-keyed Susan's creepy mom. She could have left the candle lit or Zack could have come over and done it.

I think Bree is starting up a relationship with the pharmasist because when she asked her husband if his hands still trembled when she touched him he said "No. We've been married for 18 years." and she replied, "Sometimes I still need to be lied to." (or something like that). I think she wants to be wanted on a deeper level and she's not getting it from her hubby anymore.

I thought the whole kitchen blowing up bit was a bit unrealistic (even given the fact that this whole show is unrealistic).

Loved the bit where Gabrielle threw up in the fancy car...:D
