Let's see ... Bree's track record with men ... sexual deviant Rex. Homicidal nutcase pharmacist dude (aleady forgot his name). Sexual deviant long-hair alcoholic dude (did his character even have a name?) And now the murderous Orson. Christ. She should just hook up with Gabby or Susan. They're both going to be single, and hot Wisteria Lane lesbian action would make this show so much better.

Alas, AC Slater did not end up with Alex or Jesse Spano, but rather some floozy from Vegas (I want to say her name is Paula or Vicki but I can't remember) that was previously associated with some gang member. Alex and Jesse had at max a total of 4 minutes screen time in that movie.
Okay now I'm a tad embarassed I remember this movie.

It doesn't seem to me like the actress who played Nora in last week's episode was the Saved By the Bell chick. I know we only saw her through a window, but she seemed kinda classy, not trashy. I hope this marks the return of the Lynette I liked from last season. Now I rememebr why I liked her. She was great in that coffee shop when she started raising her voice. Well, sophomore slump should be over, and hopefully, this show will get back on track.

I will admit, this show is my dirty little secret. The story lines and action of the show are so unbelivable I can't help but turn away. This season was pretty mediocre, but I think the season finale helped things. I'm def. gonna watch next season just to see where the Orson story line goes.

Thanks Umnata for a great recap. I had lost interest in the show and only watched the finale because I felt obligated. Was very happy to see returning characters though, ie. Rex.

If they've opened a story line for Orson, does that mean that In Justice is cancelled? That's the first time I enjoyed a character played by Kyle MacLachlan. Sniff!

Wonderful recap! I especially enjoyed your Inconceivable! insert.

Eddie
I dont know what your day job is but QUIT and work for TVGASM. For that matter, run TVGASM. Your recaps rock and your screen clips are too hilarious. I will be fired today for sure. If the tears of laughter running down my face dont do it then it might be for laughing out loud, or falling out of my chair.

You should no longer be the Guest Columnist. This recap should have you on permanent status!! this recap was by far one of the funniest I have ever read

Great show, great recap - cant wait for next season!

SOOOOO glad the Applewhites are gone. Never once did I care what was happening with their storyline.

All the same, I think next season will be pretty tedious, based on what they've set up for us here. Consider:
- Mike is in jeopardy again (after being threatened at gunpoint by Zach in the last season finale), so we've been there before
- The Nora/Lynette/Tom storyline looks ridiculously irritating; the actress playing Nora is annoying (in a bad actor-y way), and there can only be, what, about 2 episodes' worth of stuff there (kinda like the Matthew/Caleb/Betty debacle that covered a whole season. zzz...)
- Bree falling for another deviant/homicidal creep? Insert eye roll here.
- Baby-buying and abusive surrogacy on the part of Gabrielle and Carlos? No thanks.
- Zach isn't gone; I think he will somehow become a pubescent megalomaniacal schemer now that he has Grandpapa's fortune. This kid has always been a snooze, and no doubt that his "evil teen with money" plot will be a snooze, too.

A friend of mine took DH off her Tivo Season Pass immediately after watching the finale. I might have to consider doing the same.

For the most part, I disagree with Mikey (#8). I think next season will be interesting.

- Why did Orson run over Mike? It wasn't because he's ga-ga over SkeleHatcher, he's ga-ga over Bree. Hmmm, must be something to do with his old dentistry days...
- I agree that Nora is annoying (however, not as annoying as the gal who plays Charlie's love interest in Numb3rs) but we haven't met the daughter yet and I think Tom is lying about it being an "old" fling. Why was he going upstairs with Nora in the previous episode??
- I do agree with the 'Bree falling in love with another deviant creep' point. (insert MY eyeroll here) However, Andrew could return and wreak all sorts of havoc.
- I think ChowMein will retaliate against Gabby, maybe even run away with Carlos. This story line could get interesting no matter what happens.
- I think that now Zack is an evil teen with money, he will break out of his snoozefest.

DH will be staying on my season pass.

I'm just glad that someone else figured out who Nora, aka Alex, is. I knew immediately (seriously, who could forget that voice) and no one else in my family understood how great it is at all. Alas, none of them are of the Saved by the Bell generation... Oh how I miss it.

Hey all -

first off, thanks for some great comments. really keeps me going and thiking of new ways to make fun of/honor DH.

2nd, last week james denton (aka mike delfino) gave an interview saying how upset he and some of the cast members were about the glutton of characters this season, and they were told that the characters who live (mike's fate is still questionable, but im pretty sure he'll stick around), that a lot of extraneous characters will not be back in the third season. the way things ended with paul in jail and zack with $$$ (and off wisteria lane) and felicia tillman in her kathy bates in misery-style cottage, made me consider that the Youngs (along with the applewhites) wouldn't be returning. I might be way off... but that was at least my reasoning.

This episode surprised me! It was actually... GOOD!? There is definitely potential for crazy, interesting plots for next season. I'll keep watching. Especially with the Applewhites now dead/or moved out. It was about time, Marc Cherry!

*Eddie/Umnata;
Excellent recap! You are awesome. :)

I like the finale, it made up for the majority of the season.

Isn't Nora also the same stripper-friend of Vivica Fox's character in "Independence Day" who went to the rooftop to greet the aliens & got incinerated?

Now that Zach is a millionaire, will he stop wearing polos buttoned to the top?

Really great recap -- almost as good as b-side's, and that's saying something. Loved your screen-cap captions -- funny stuff.
Esp loved the comparison btw Samuel L and Skele's random 'fro. Nice!

"minions from hell" - YES! (little shits)

Sorry to be a bit of a trainspotter here, but it's 'coup de grace' -- we're talking about grace, not grease!

Also playing a little *ditty* on the piano -- little diddies = small boobies.

#3 -- I agree with you -- the stunt double for Nora sure looked a lot classier than the space cadet that jumped out of that cab.
#5 -- apparently you have never seen the Twin Peaks series? Bc Kyle was really great in that.
#8 -- I really enjoyed the gal who plays Nora, esp in the cafe scene (sadly, I never watched Saved by the Bell, and feel my childhood is deficient for this tragic reason...)

In conclusion, methinks you mean 'glut' of characters, but umnata gonna picka you up on typos after this. (I ignored the others.)
Anyone who knows how to spell 'piqued' deserves a bye.

Thanks for the awesome recap! I'm definitely intrigued by the Nora/Scavo storyline as well as Kyle's Killer Dentist backstory.

DMG, I totally agree. Kyle WAS great in Twin Peaks (as well as Blue Velvet).

I was glad that the season finale was so much better than the previous episodes. This season was pretty lame--seems like they brought back the good writers for this last epi.

Great recap Eddie/Umnata!

So - now that we have the Saved by the Bell link - that means Kyle (Orson) is one sleazy degree of separation from SBTB's Nora - and that degree would be Jessie's spin in ShowGirls.

ick - I feel so dirty now.

How much plastic surgery do you think that Alex from SBTB has had. My husband and I were not even sure that was her at first because her eyes and forehead were so tight and wierd looking.
