I agree with you on all counts. Very disappointing premiere. It's as if, during the break, Cherry watched every other television show ever made and decided to put a little something of each one in this episode. All boring, all predictable, all over? Hope not. But please Cherry, give me something to hold on to! And by the way, it would have been much hotter to have Susan fall for Edie's nephew from last season. Scandalous and hot! That's what I'm talking about!

Great re-cap, as usual! :) I don't watch this one (I watched Season 2, but got bored)....but reading this recap is just as good!! LOVE IT!! :) And it seems that I'm not missing anything, either....so, good for me! :)

the disappearance of the other two scavo kids seriously irked me throughout the entire episode....

oh.. and i was bored to tears this episode and normally this is my absolute favorite show.. what a shame

First off BITCH, Carlos is my imaginary husband so lay off. Don't be thinking about Carlos naked. That's my job.

Second, episode not that good.

I didn't think it was THAT bad. With the jump 5 years into the future (which I really like because it mixes things up a bit) there needs to be an episode that introduces the new themes and shows what everyone is now up to. I think the shows will get juicier (well I hope!!)

I was confused about what Bree said about Orson being gone too, but then I remember that she told him he had to confess to the whole Mike thing and do his time in prison or she wouldn't be with him. I assume he was in prison during the 5 year jump.

And wtf is with Danielle being married to a lawyer??? That didn't seem to fit to me. Then again, a lot of this episode was pretty hard to swallow. But I don't care I still heart DH!!!

I am totally on board with this recap, save for you not liking Gale Harold. I'll just be honest, I'm mainly watching this for him, and I don't care how pathetic that sounds.

aman- Yes! That makes sense. I totally forgot about that.

kelsey - you can totally have him. And that ain't pathetic at all!

I love Edie, she's my favorite of all on the show, save Carlos shirtless (yes, bitches, I'm throwin' my hat in the ring . . . )

Well, I'm no fan of Gale, but I didn't think QAF was the worst show until the only normal one became a meth head and an on-line porn producer . . . you know, TV people and writers, gays are just people too, not always sex and drug addicts, call me crazy!!!! Also, the little blonde doing sexy times with Gale was so pedophilic I couldn't watch anymore, ew! I like the L Word better, so if my gay card must be punched, punch away!!! Both those shows are really over the top with the sex scenes, for me, so unless Carlos is going to do a guest spot, or someone swarthy and hunky like James Gandolfini is guesting, they can save it for the unrated DVD.

Lynnette's evil spawns are ripe with possiblities, but the youngest should be a priest to balance it out. I'd love for one of the hubbys to go gay with the neighbors, not Tom tho, eh, I don't know who, but someone can . . .

I too feel for the little actress playing Gabby's more to love daughter . . . hope this doesn't scar her . . . .

let's not forget lynette and tom's other child, the evil daughter that was pawned off on them. where the hell is she? i'm guess in juvie.

Great recap. The show was disappointing for the most part, but hopefully it will pick up now that we have all that tedius exposition out of the way.

I dept thinking the twins looked familiar - you're right, they look like Matt Damen. Are they related? (Oo! Oo! Maybe secretly they are clones!)

I'm thinking Tom's daughter from another mother will be dragged out when Edie's son (Travers) comes back. That little skank's gonna be all over him like stank on poo.

LOVE the recaps even though it was a very boring show. BTW, the cake Bree was working on was a croquembouche (traditional French wedding cake made of cream puffs "glued" with sugar in a pyramid shape and usually decorated with spun sugar and candied violets).

Still looks like a couple boxes o'Munchkins to me.

Nice recap, Hypnotoad.

I was wondering what they would do with the 5 year jump to the future. It's ok. Not great, not horrible. I'm with you on not liking "fat" Gabby (although Eva's fat suit must've come with some acting lessons). The little girl playing Juanita (my mom's name!) is adorable and, dare I say, a better actress than her "mommy". I'd tune in to her spinoff at fat camp.

I heart Gale Harold. He was so sexy on Queer as Folk. Not so much here. What's with the begging to be in a relationship with Susan? Obviously, Edie's new hubby isn't the only new crazy to hit Wisteria Lane.

The Krispy Kreme donut hole cake was the most suspenseful thing in this episode. Are we ever gonna get to see the spun sugar netting done the right way? Stay tuned...

I feel extremely let down by this premiere. I am, actually, still extremely pissed at this whole 5 year jump thing. It feels like a cop out.

I read a book once where the original was brilliant, but the author killed off EVERY CHARACTER except 2 in the sequel. Just to make the deadline, I suspect.

This evoked that feeling. Hope it gets better.

P.S. Wherefore means "why" not "where". Very common misconception. Wherefore art thou Romeo means WHY are you Romeo, as in "Why do you have to be a Montague?" etc. The More You Know.

Wherefore you gotta be hatin', georgiababe?

It's a recap, not a dissertation!

Sheesh.

;)

Gale Harold is a SEXY BEAST!! Regardless of the quality of QAF as a show, he was a most magnificent bastard and I loved him...long live Brian Kinney!! Now I shall finish the recap :P

I'm an English major! It's not voluntary, I swear!!

LOL great recap though
