EdHill- I don't watch this show it is too f'in ridiculous. How do you get through it? Your recap was great though. And because you are such a fan, I know that you are dying to find out which desperate housewife you are. Take the test here. I'm a Susan- and I didn't need a test to tell me that.

Oh Derder, I am SO Bree..and the sad thing is, I don't even need your test to tell me that! How sad is that? I do watch thsi show, and it's is my guilty pleasure to say that I like it. Oh well. There are worse things in ife.

That's funny- So is Lizardqueen. And I respect everyones right to television. Desperate Housewives is safer than trolling the streets!

But I am still dying to know- who are you, EdHill? I'm thinking you are a saucy Gabrielle...

Holy frijoles, batman, I'm a Gabrielle!
*thank you*

I wish they had included a reason for the inhaler hints they were dropping...

I wish that Marcia Cross had said "anal sex." That would've been fun.

I want to know what's wrong with Lynette's baby. She's what, at least 1, and she still spits up like that? My DD, who spit up so much she had the nickname Spoogie, quit when she was about 5 months old. Tom should take her to the hot pediatrician so Lynette can get jealous and get the dr's license yanked.

EdHill- how come you didn't mention the part at the end where Carlos pretty much Hit on Lynette and said that since Gabby said it was OK for him to have an affair , he wanted to have one with HER. That was kinda significant. I'd like to see a knockdown dragout fight between those two. Drag the show right into Dynasty days. Maybe they could fall into the swimming pool too. Here's another funny point. How many bowling alleys still use paper scorecards? I still watch this show b/c of the snark, but I like Grey's Anantomy better now.

Derder,
I took the test and it said I was Dr. Derek Shepherd from Grey's Anatomy.

Weird.

EdHill- You honestly get better and better every post. This one was fantastic.

I thought this episode was a lot of fun, and the best one this season after so many boring ones. This could be in large part because I enjoy seeing Carlos kissing, doesn't matter much who.

Gabrielle: I don't know what the fuss is over this chick and why they point out she was a top model. Really now, she one inch taller than a midget, and very generic looking. She is no Heidi Klum, or even an AMTM cast off. Nasty LongHORia better cash in while she can. She stinks.

Bree: The boozing is starting. Big deal. Put her on crystal meth instead, would be more interesting to see her Martha Stewart inspired basement lab.

Susan: This show didn't have much of this boney freakshow, but her madcap zany antics should stop. I was hoping there would of been another spray painted message on her garage door, that said 'eat something boney ass'.

Edie: She's always good, and the show should be more about her.

Lynette: This character is getting to idiotic. She's worried about a slutty tiny troll kissing and moving in on her husband. Please, she should be concerned about why her kids change every week.

Applewhites: This has to move on faster. I'm bored with them, and its such a waste of talent.

EdHill, I had taped the episode because I couldn't stay up but did not think I would actually watch since the season sucks, but your recap makes is so appealing that I will have to check it out.

No sports to talk about first??

Yep. I called it before I even clicked on the link. I'm a Susan. I'm not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing.

Katieshole, I feed off you're hate. It sustains me.

BaskEtcAse, I only did the sports references to sustain me during the shitty episodes. Now taht its better I can just get right to it. Although with all the man on man love I may have to start it up agian.

just had to note that there actually is no legal duty to intervene in the event of a crime or a death, so it's true that bree really didn't commit any crimes by watching george die.

hmm, i'm BREE--not much of a surprise there.

i too have been BORED by the applewhite saga. they are like those common public school kids from the OC. hey guess what? NO ONE CARES ABOUT YOUR STORY! let betty applewhite take on a PTA mom or something.

andrew and his man love were hot this episode. more of them for the red states please! hey, he's technically 19, so i can get away saying this without feeling gross.

So many unanswered questions… What happened to Carlos and the nun? I mean how can he swear to be a good man, and then asks Lynette for an affair? How is it even possible in a gossipy little area like Wisteria Lane that Lynette didn’t know about the affair especially after that entire outburst in court? When did Mike and Susan become friendly again? Why doesn’t Bree bring up the fact to Andrew that he murdered Carlos’s mother and she could expose him too. So many questions… do they have anyone checking the continuity of their story lines over at ABC?

pixies_rock, I never even thought of that. Just last episode Carlos was swearing to become a devout Catholic and devote his life to god, and now he wants to cheat on Gabrielle with Lynette.

But then again even when he was "devout" all he wanted to do was bang the frizzy hair nun-slut so I guess he was never really serious to begin with.

And of course I'm devoting far too much brainpower and scrutiny on a show thats essentially a big budget Days of our Lives.

Edhill, glad to oblige. I love to spew my Susan (and DH) hating ways. I hope they are contagious.

I forgot about that bleach blonde fried hair trampy nun. I blocked out that inane story, because it bored me. The Gaby/Carlos storylines are of no interest to me. Whatever happened to the storyline where John the gardeners parents were going to have Gaby arrested for having sex with a minor? It was abandoned, at least it could of been interesting...but no...we get the same Gaby is too hot lunacy. Who writes this? Do they have an idea what this monkey faced troll woman looks like? Miss LongSlutia must have a really good agent to get so many incidentals in her ABC Contract!

I'm all about Edie for me: sexy, bitchy and to the point...and thats who I was when I took the DH test the other poster mentioned earlier..

KH

I think the one thing we have to remember while watching this show is that it is a 'soap opera.' Do you see the sh*t they get away with on those daytime soaps? This isn't much different. Actually, I thought this epsiode was far better than the ones before the break. The show works best as an ensemble with all the storylines connecting. Even Lynette, whose character is the most annoying, was fun to watch in this particular episode. Let's hope the writers read all the recent criticisms this season has gotten and step up a bit for the rest of the season.

This show really needs some Jack Bauer action to really sex things up. How about a HOT tryst with Edie that ends with him cutting her hands off or something. Oh, Kiefer - where are you when we need you? 6 more days until 24 baby!!!!

BTW, I am Gaby! WTF!?!?!?!?

I was Lynette...rats! :(

Great recap! I like the stuff with Andrew and his friend; you know the best kind of friend. But I think the scene happened at the end when, upon seeing the body in the trunk, Paul through up his arms and gave everyone a don't look at me look.

I cannot believe I'm a Gabrielle! Heaven help me.

The wait was worth it for the EdHill recap alone. This episode was good because it goes back to more interaction between the main characters.

swill-I agree wih your comment about Paul at the end-that was funny. Plus, whoever said about the Michael Ironside character having asthma-we need closure on that-but we never got closure on Tom's secret life, so we probably won't on this either.

I'm a Gabrielle too, which sucks because I see myself as a Bree, but whatever.

This episode was the best one of the season so far. Probably because you actually saw all of the DH's interacting and not off on own their boring, random storylines like Susan's biological father or Lynette's problems at work. I hope this episode is a sign of the way the rest of season 2 will play out.

Great recap as usual Ed.
Loved the quiz derdle - I'm a Lynette which would have offended me but the description sounded about right.

What this show needs is more hottie John the gardener and less annoying Susan.

Great job as always EdHill!

Poor John Rowland...ha!

EdHill,
I saw one Ms. Patty Rowland at Wild Oats right before Christmas. I felt like saying something to her, but what? "Hey Patty, sorry about your douchebag husband. Merry Christmas." "Hey Patty, remember when you read that 'Twas the Night Before Christmas like poem in public, excoriating your husband's accusers? Yeah, that was awesome." Instead I just gave her my "Aw. Poor sad Patty" look. Was Rowland really obscure? At one point I heard he was being groomed for a possible presidential run.

"If he reflects on his life even more maybe he will also come to realize that wearing tucked-in shirts with a braided belt went out with the last Right Said Fred album."

Dammit, those went out of style on 12/29/2005? Now you tell me.

like basketcase i read the recap and then see if its worth my time, i think i had blocked out all the inconsistencies in the storylines, do they have a new writer every week? have any of them seen the first season?

I took that test twice the first time i was Bree the second I was Susan ... ick .. I guess ill stick with Bree.

EDHILL! love that your from CT, me too ... any part in particular? or is that info top secret - just like the rest of your identity. Would be kinda weird if I found out I went to highschool with you or something ...

I think funnier than Paul's "don't look at me" reaction after the trunk popped open, was Caleb's "I didn't do it," as he shoved ice cream in this mouth when Betty walked in.

Good connection to the Rowland scandal, which should actually be written into the show in some way.

Huh, I am a Gaby! Who knew? I feel like a Bree on the inside. (Aries, #25, I hear ya!)

Prob'ly got that result bc I picked "Basic Instinct" and not the OCD answer...

So, has anyone spotted Danielle since she wiggled her ass so provocatively at Jr. (Matthew) Applewrong? If she's getting it on with one of the hottest young dudes in the 'hood, I think we should all be in on that.
