Desperate Housewives: Marc Cherry Hates Nicolette Sheridan

This week on Desperate Housewives: Dave's plan to get back at Mike finally comes to fruition; Gabby whines about sex and money for the 18th time in 2 episodes; Bree thinks about selling her company to stop Orson from being the biggest baby ever; Lynette doesn't do much; and Susan runs into Karl and his kid.

Also, Marc Cherry hates Nicolette Sheridan.

OMFG, you guys. I am so, so, so sorry about the lateness of this one. Almost two weeks! But if you want to blame someone, blame GE (the makers of the Bitenuker) for making such a shoddy speaker product that the speaker plug broke off in my Macbook's speaker jack, therefore giving me no sound. No sound at all! My thanks goes out to the good people at the Apple Store in Skokie, IL, who do God's work. Now let's put this bitch to bed!

What's this!? We don't open with a blah blah metaphor blah by Mary Alice? No, we do not.

Even she is speechless at the sight of this sweater.

Dave is on a pay phone, telling the ranger station that he thought saw some people huntin' illegally up at Emerson Lake, and he knows people like to go campin' up there. Apparently, fresh woodsy air makes Dave drop the "g" on the ends of words. And apparently it gives him a slight Southern accent. But who am I to judge? I speak to myself in a British accent. All the time. But then again, my hair is a color actually found in nature.

Ah, here's Mary Alice. She says Dave had been planning the murder for years, and here's how it goes: First, he'd take Katie and Mike camping, then pretend to be asleep while they left to go hiking, and then he'd shoot them when they stopped to take a breath. Or to take a number two. Whatever. Ergo, ipso facto, Dave would devastate Mike by shooting Katie. Really? I don't think he'd be THAT devastated. This is why Dave called the ranger station. Then he'd drive home, enjoying Mike's pain. Okay, not that I plan on getting revenge on anyone (yet), but the whole thing sounds pretty lame if you ask me. Where's the torture? Where's the bitch-slap with a hand gun? Where's the scary Chinese guy who pulls out teeth? Oy, I've been watching too much Alias. Now THERE'S a show that knows how to give good revenge. And also, plot. With the exception of season 4 perhaps. Anyhoozies, Patty Duke's dad asks his assistant to fax Edie the news stories, one of which shows the flannel-y picture of Mike. Apples and credits!

Just pour her a shot glass of Drano and be done with it.

Mary Alice talks about jolts to the system as various secondary characters get shocked by appliances. Hmmm, shocks . . . could this be a metaphor for something else? Ah, yes. It is, because Suzy-Q is shocked (shocked!) to find Karl at her school. He looks good in a suit. Apparently, he's enrolling his son, Evan, in the same school. Wow, Evan's hair is . . . disturbing. Susan and Karl argue cuz Susan doesn't want everyone to know that Karl is her ex, because having 2 ex husbands isn't cool. Somewhere, Ross Gellar is watching this and saying, "Yeah, right. Try 3 divorces! Three divorces!! My sandwich!!"

This hair is child abuse.

Over at Carlos's place of business, Lucie is throwing down the gauntlet, telling everyone that they have to work nights and crap, even Lynette, who coaches her daughter's basketball team. Huh. I'm surprised she even remembered she had a daughter. Also, Lynette is touching Lucie's figurines which Lucie hates, so I guess that little plot will come back later. Everyone complains about working late and junk. Lucie's all, if you're on commission, you'll make a shit ton of money, and if not, you'll get to keep your job, which, "in today's economy, is a bonus all to itself." Shut. Up. About. The economy. Because you just reminded me, Cherry, that I haven't found a job in 4 months, and just yesterday found out that I didn't get a job I interviewed for last week. Just show us people sleeping with each other's husbands, beige hair, and lame klepto b-stories, mmkay Cherry? When Lynette and Carlos are alone, they talk about missing their kids, and Lynette wants Carlos to get Lucie to change her ways.

fire@will:

There was a little movement in Edie's fingers at the end - are we to believe she may have survived?

Edie is one of the few things that make the show worth watching.

No character makes sense for very long on this show...

No way I see Carlos turning down his wife like that. Is he supposed to be turning gay, or what?

I'm not sure even McClusky could salvage this train wreck now.

Hope you find meaningful employment!


hillpete:

What's the deal with Orson on the couch? How is it possible that Bree doesn't have a guest room??????

Mr Dangerous:

I thought you quit.

You know, I lived for years in Moline, Illinois before moving to California.

I hope Edie goes into a coma then she can come back to the show at a later date.
Hey, what if this 5 years in the future thing is all a dream?

I wish you the best of luck in your job search.

hypnotoad:

Aw, you guys, thanks, that's sweet. I wish myself luck too. If things don't improve I may have to move back with my parents. And god bless 'em, but it'd be like living in a Mormon convent.

No, I didn't quit! It just took FOREVER to get my macbook fixed.

What if Edie dies, but comes back as the voice-over in place of Mary Alice?! Not gonna happen, but it would be awesome. Mary Alice is too nice. It'd be nice to have bitchy voice overs, like, "Meanwhile, over at the whorehouse. I mean, Susan's place . . ."

Clair:

Great recap! Favorite line - Oh the suspense . . . less . . . ness.

Hee!

Good luck from me too.

juddfan:

couldn't she have at least run to her rescue and been shot by Dave . . .

I think Edie is one of the few characters who can flip from sarcastic to super dramatic drunk and make it make sense . . . I love that about her, and her complexity is soooo wasted in Cherry's Whistful Whisteria . . . I would have loved to see her desperate romance with Dave, being that he faked it all and she fell for it, alas, it's not meant to be, and I'm sorry if it's coz Nicky is a bitchy, I'd be a bitch too if I didn't even get to grab an apple in the intro . . .

Wish my hair was that color . . .

Thanks for the recap, however late, the show's in lame-o rerun now, so I guess we had some time to wait!

Good luck from me too, I'm always thankful to have fan dancing to fall back on!
