Classic Desperation
Good morning, everyone! So, I took some time yesterday to think about the show a bit and come up with some topic ideas. It didn’t take long for me to start reflecting on all the memorable scenes this show has had. I figured, why not highlight these moments? It’s not easy picking one, but I finally settled on a moment from the Season 2 episode “That’s Bad, That’s Good”.
As you all recall, I’m sure, George spent quite a bit of time harassing Bree and trying to win her over. One day, he finally pushes her too far. Bree is holding one of her dinner parties, when he shows up with a karaoke machine. Much to Bree’s embarassment, he starts serenading her with a house full of guests. Bree tries to politely make him leave, but he doesn’t. So, in typical Bree fashion, she puts on a sweet smile and excuses herself, running upstairs.
Next thing you know, Bree is in her room, loading a shot gun. She goes over to the window and demands he leave. When he refuses again, she cocks the gun and aims it at the speaker, firing a shot. Of course, George runs and Bree calmly re-joins her guests, acting like nothing ever happened. That image of Bree in a prim party dress, cocking a rifle is one of the most memorable images of the show for me. It also illustrates the complicated nature of Bree’s character. She’s prim, proper and all about maintaining her dignity. Still, she’ll go psycho on you if you give her cause.
