What!!! I think all this TV watching has finally addled your brain. For your information, I think this Season Finale was even better than last Season!

You know, unless you've been following the storylines, (they've got you flitting from TV show to TV show for reviews) I guess you're not invested in the characters and have no reference points for caring about what happens to them, nor does any of it seem remarkable.

Additionally, so much TV watching begins to act like a drug. You, Heather, have gotten so numbed to it all that the plots have to get waaaaay out there to impress you - just like the hits have to get stronger to even begin to resemble the origingal high!

Well, thank God you're in a minority. Those of us who don't veg out at the TV, preferring to set time aside to watch only our favorite TV shows (of which Desperate Housewives happens to be one) this season's wrap up was like a satisfying meal with all the right flavors. Crisp (Bree), Juicy (Gabrielle), Spicy (Lynette), with a generous hand of Sweet (Susan). Oh yeah...and we even had a little touch of minor flavors mixed in, that subplot with the unmasking of Caleb's brother as the real murderer definitely sour, (lime perhaps?)...MMMM!

See you next time...

He didn't accidentally run Mike down. He's obsessed with Susan, not Bree. He's the guy Susan asked to pretend to be her date when she saw Mike at the movies with a date. She left her purse there and he returned it to her. He didn't know Mike in the army (the inference was that Mike thought he might have treated him in prison). But really it seems he's just after Susan and is using George the Pharmacist's tactics to rid the world of her suitors. Very unoriginal. But who knows what's *really* behind it. Guess we'll find out next season.

Orson didn't accidentally run Mike over, he unexpectedly ran him over, and right after that, he gave Bree a bouquet of tulips.

And if last night's finale was a tasty treat, I definitely want some of what you're smoking!

I thought the virginity exam was the most disturbing part of the episode becuase i made me think of fundementalist muslim countries doing weird sick thinks to thier women. It wasn't really nessecary to the plot becuase she then over hears he husband on the baby monitor (why is a microphone in thier garage?) so it was just a tension device so they could cut to commercial and keep viewers glued.

Not that they need commercials - in the few minutes i sat down with we were treated to a 15-second linger on the Nissan logo on the plumbers truck.

Let's see, we have Dallas, we have Dynasty and now Desperate Housewives. See anyting familiar? For anybody to expect anything more than cartoons for adults on broadcast network TV, they really would have to be desperate. What was true 20 years ago is still true today.

So much space over this nothing show. Amazing. There is not one character that is worth caring about or following in the entire sad crew. The acting, besides Bree and Lynette, is high school play caliber. The dialogue is inane, the plot twists are crazy and not woth suspending disbelief over.

It is like Melrose Place 15 years later where the characters have grown up, but Marcia Cross is as crazy as ever, and the gay man who's now an erring husband to Lynette calls opening his eyes wide real heavy acting. And his waistline has bulged too much. He needs some gym time.

The Mexicans are cliches. No one belives a minor miscarriage would make that chatty Kathy Gabby infertile. Their plain looking, stupid sounding Chinese maid with the untypically fat legs is too ugly for a sex symbol.

Susan is a cliche slime who is not a woman, I would like to see get her run over or burn down with the next arson plot. Just that event would raise the IQ of the show 100 points.

I am done watching this inanity for sure. I'll take the "pornography for women" of Grey's anatomy over this bunch clucking chickens any day. Such desperately ugly men too.

At least Grey's has some real dream hunks in it.

Maybe I missed something, but how could the maid remain a virgin after artificial insemination? Isn't that done vaginally?

He did give Bree a bouquet of flowers. But it seemed to me that he was coming over to woo Susan after gunning down her soon-to-be-fiance, and Bree happened to be coming out of the house at the same time and saw him. He gave the flowers to Bree because she immediately assumed they were for her, but really they were for Susan. I think he quickly figured if he appeared to be wooing Bree, nobody would suspect him of mowing down Mike. Watch the scene again and see if you agree. I'm pretty sure that's what I saw. But this IS Desperate Housewives, and nothing is ever as it seems.

And I just used two variations of "woo" in one paragraph. Heaven help me.

When the show started I thought it fun and it seemed to have a real mystery plot line.

I started losing interest during the first season when they had Bree dating right after her husband's death. Her character had been presented as someone who loves to do everything just right and is obsessed with being a perfect wife, mother, hostess, homemaker, etc. This was someone who read every last word of Emily Post. She would NEVER have a date mere weeks after a husband's death. She might want to -- but she would not so easily toss her desire to be the socially perfect widow -- or at least appear to be. It was too much of a personality switch for me to buy. And when I it takes too much work to suspend disbelief then I'm going to find something else to do.

I did continue to watch for awhile. But not only is character development hit or miss, the plot is apparently not very important to the writers, either. No people or plot worth trying to follow. Boring.
