Re-cap

“So let’s re-cap. Crappy presentation, working late, no apology.” God, could the writing get any better?

Forget Oprah and her book club, join a Desperate Housewives club. Last night we were eight. Seven regulars plus ‘Helen’ – my friend Andrea’s mother. She should get a job writing for the show. We gasped and giggled at her comments as much as at the show. She said I needed to learn how to be a better receiver. Hee hee, she has NO idea. We were talking about graciously accepting a gift – hee hee again - (seeing how the Christmas season is upon us) but all our minds ran straight for the gutter. She also told us in no uncertain terms that her sister is a bitch. Sounds like a match for our Gabrielle! Speaking of which back to the show re-cap:

Poor Susan, she might as well move from Wisteria Lane to Crappy Storyline Street and change her phone # to 1-800- no-one-cares. Cute yes, but nothing compared to the roller coaster ride that poor Bree went on last night. Could they have picked a better actress? I personally think that every karaoke machine needs to meet her shotgun – what a scene! And excuse me, but did y’all not think Dr. Goldfine was dead? Piece du resistance - when Bree found out George had killed Rex – we were breathless. I thought for sure she was going to have a gun in her purse, but the way it was done – brilliant. “I called them while you were asleep.” Bye-bye Georgey Boy!

Lynette. Where to start? Just because Nina is fired though, I hope we have not seen the last of her. I think they should make her go after Tom as payback. I have to admit that Lynette was not my favourite character at the start of the show but I have grown to love her. I still want to know what it is that Tom confessed to his father – Lynette is going to be mad!

And what nun says “I’m from the south side of Chicago, bring it on.” Can someone say Kirsten Dunst as a cheerleader? Still, a great Gabrielle scene. And the looks of disdain she shoots Carlos as he prays and confers with God are priceless. I think the nun is some sort of agent planted to get more dirt on Carlos. Mark my words, it is going to get ugly. I continue to draw my Gabrielle-Scarlett connection. Scarlett didn’t let the mealy mouthed Melanie get in her way, and Gabrielle won’t let a nun get in hers.

Next week? Very glad to see Andrew is back - in bed with the gardener! He’s a little you-know-what disturber, but makes the show fun. We also need more Edie! At least she had one good zinger last night telling Susan her that her personality “is an acquired taste.”

Oh right, Susan re-cap, like I said – who cares?
