Desperate Housewives 11/19/2006 (S03E09) "Beautiful Girls"

[dswallow]

Not bad; I think Gabby's found her calling, though.

I knew Andrew would be the one making money of Orson's mother.

The whole Rupert thing just seemed off. It could've been really funny. But it just didn't quite get there; or maybe when it did each time that something happened to bring it back down.

After seeing the previews, though, I think I realized I laughed more during the previews than through most or all of this weeks episode. :)

Was Rupert's shirt on inside out at the end? I kept getting distracted by that. I also didn't like seeing Susan in the "Mistress" light...it was easier to accept their relationship before having his wife become more real to the audience.

I've said it before and I'm saying it again-The writers need to figure something out for Susan. Usually it's the really annoying "woe is me" and now they're making her this highly wanted 'mistress.' I don't get it. The Rupert thing started out amusing but irked me by the end. For once, I really enjoyed Gabby's storyline. Maybe we'll see a bit softer Gabby, just not too soft. Why did Bree let Creep-O back in the house at the end? She's so anal, one would think she'd have changed the locks already.

So Orson kills Monique then decides to frame Mike then kill him by running him over?

[Bananfish]

The Rupert thing was so funny ..... when it was John Gielgud and it was in "Arthur."

This whole episode seemed somewhat derivative. Could Gabrielle's friend have been any more Anthony from Sex and the City?

That said, I've been fairly entertained by this season .... that whole Alfre Woodard story line in season 2 was such a boring bore of a bore.

Did she let him back in? I must have missed that.

Yup..he said he was out looking for her, then came home to find her on the stairs..of course THEN she told him he was packed up and needed to leave...to which we saw him walking out.

The episode was ok I guess...not sure how some of the weird Orson stuff with his mom will play out, not to mention the pedophile dude....I guess because his wife is handicapable, she never saw his basement....did she not wonder why he was packing up pinball machine and tons of kids things all of the sudden...?

Something just is off about how he skates by so easily...the cops don't care it appears at this point etc..he knows Lanette is onto him yet he just ascts like everything is hunky dory.

Ahhh, ok. Did see that, but since she was the one who'd been gone, then come back I didn't make the connection with the statement (I was thinking you meant after she booted him out). Now it makes sense. ;0)

I guess because his wife is handicapable, she never saw his basement
It's his sister, but I was kinda wondering about that as well...the basement actually seemed to be just down a step or two when Lynette was there with her son.

[Alfer]

Oops..didn't realize it was his sister......

Lynette walked down a whole flight of steps to get to the basement, so no way sis could get down there...yet another weird side story to get into or watch fall flat.

Something though tells me one of her boys finds trouble over there and her whole family goes ape-sh*t on his butt.

[Bananfish]

Here's my prediction for this pedophilia story line:

Lynette will go even more over the top with accusations of pedophilia (perhaps filing a complaint or setting up a website with accusations). After some wrangling with the neighbor (e.g., a threatened or actual lawsuit), it will come out that there is a perfectly valid reason that the pictures of all the boys were up (perhaps they're the sister's pictures). Lynette will have egg on her face in a major way, and will be all sorry that she made "false" accusations. The accused guy will move off the block in a huff as Lynette tries profusely to apologize.

Then, we the audience, but not Lynette, will somehow discover that he was a pedophile all along (perhaps they'll show him yanking his crank looking at the pics).

If I'm right, you heard it here first!
