Desperate Housewives

I am FINALLY back in business (spent most of yesterday getting everything (and I mean everything) reinstalled) and so happy to have my laptop back it’s not even funny. Sunday’s episode title “What would we do without you” takes on special meaning for me this week. What would we do? Go more than a little crazy, it would appear. So let me say thank you for hanging out and being patient and let’s get on with the long-awaited recap.

I’m not going to recap like I normally do since I already have pointed you in the way of some very fine recaps earlier this week. Instead, I’m going to give you a list of some of my impressions. And I had a few (go figure!).

• Gabby just BUGS me, you know? It is stinky of her to just poach Susan’s wedding, even if Susan was cancelling it. It’s one thing if someone you don’t know does it, but she was her friend. So I could not blame Susan at all for being PO’d.
• Also, it’s too bad the idea of the double wedding got nixed. That could have been fun, I think.
• Yeah, Gabby is SO marrying a closet abuser. She better think twice before saying “I do” is all I can say
• I had a hard time feeling sympathy for Lynette for most of this episode. The other guy wasn’t even that cute, Tom is a little demanding and they’re at a rough patch but she doesn’t have to act like he killed her best friend either. I mean, for pity’s sake, they’re married.
• That said, BUMMER on the possible lymphoma. And I’m pretty sure it’s gonna pan out to be lymphoma (you heard it here first!) (heh) and that pretty much sucks for everyone involved. Still, will be interesting to see how the story evolves.
• Enjoying seeing more of Edie, even if she’s horribly manipulative. I think it’s awful what she’s doing to Carlos though. Poor guy just wants a kid to raise. I hope he finds out and busts her ass.
• Susan was tolerable during this episode. No one is more surprised than I am.
• Next week? SEASON FINALE! And BREE is BACK! Two very good reasons to liveblog, so meet me back here Sunday night (Pacific time, of course) and we’ll dish the goodies.

Thanks for sticking in here and being so patient with my technical difficulties. You’re all the best!
