Desperate Housewives

First of all, I want to apologize for the lack of postage on Friday. I woke up to zero internet and no amount of fiddling with modems, routers, and network settings would fix it. I had to spend 24+ hours without access to internet, blogs, email, you name it. And it was pretty much torture. Thankfully, a new DSL modem has been acquired and I’m back in business.

Now, a couple of things about tonights FABULOUS new episode:

• Is anyone else getting tired of the “Gee, Susan is so cute but what a klutz” shtick? Cuz I am. Very tired. Find a new angle. It’s not THAT cute.
• Since when have Edie and Gaby been such good friends? Well, I guess not NOW, now that Edie is lusting after Carlos and all, but sheesh! I just don’t buy them shopping together or comparing purchases or giggling over how long its been since they “got some”. Whatever.
• I don’t dig Gaby’s new beau, Victor. I don’t know, maybe I’m just rigid and only want her with Carlos (duh!), but he just doesn’t seem like that great of a fit for her. I don’t understand why he likes her so much anyway because Gaby is a pretty immature and selfish person. Though he did win points for not letting her bully him into letting her borrow his ex-wifes clothes.
• Why does Lynette have to butt in all the time? Is there a single Housewife on the block who isn’t completely 100% selfish? It would just KILL her to let Tom be the boss for a change, right? Come on, I hate orange too, but let it go. It’s not that bad.
• Kinda love Victor’s ex demanding the dress back right away. Gaby so deserved that. I have to admit, I kinda hate her a lot of the time. Least favorite “Housewife” ever.
• When’s Bree coming back? I’m missing myself some Bree. I’m enjoying Edie’s enhanced screen-time, but it’s just not the same without Bree.
• And wow, I found I was drawn in by Edie’s striptease. Not that way, perverts! It was the first time we really saw her vulnerable. While the pairing with Carlos is no surprise to me, I’ll be interested to see how that story shapes up. I doubt Gaby will be too happy about it, either way.
• Oh, and I think “Travers” is a horrible name for a child. Poor kid.
• Am glad that Lynette finally let it go and wore the stupid orange shirt. Just disappointed that it took Tom rupturing a disk to make her to do it.

Believe it or not, I do enjoy the show. I don’t want it to seem like I’m bagging on it, but these are some things that kinda bugged me about the new episode. And if we can’t bitch about the shows we love, what can we do?
