Last night’s episode of Desperate Housewives was called “Bargaining”, and was mostly about how the wives all have to compromise every now and then to keep things flowing along as smoothly as possible. The only storyline that really seemed to get any movement was the Bree/Orson divorce. The Psycho Dave storyline was afforded a very brief scene in which the police revealed they finally identified the doctor’s body, but that was about it. The rest was pretty much filler.
– What the hell is it with Dave and the Great Outdoors? Is that the only place he can kill someone? Quit planning the damn camping and/or fishing trips and just do something about your revenge plan, please! This is getting beyond ridiculous!
– I loved seeing Karl in this episode. I think Richard Burgi is a wonderful actor, and he’s just the sort of character this show needs to liven things up. Unfortunately, if he were a regular, the writers would probably manage to make him as dull as Mike Delfino, so I guess I should be glad that he only appears every once in a while. I am so looking forward to seeing what he and Bree can accomplish together.
– Do the Scavos have any other problem besides sex? Tom, of course, was being a big baby about the whole thing. Lynette works such long hours that I’m sure the last thing she thinks about when she comes home is gettin’ it on. Yes, couples should indeed make time for each other, but for Tom to get pissed about not having sex — after doing it for the previous 23 days in a row, mind you — then he’s a complete jackass.
– Susan and Jackson… wow, I just do not even have the words for this storyline. I guess the writers wanted to bring Jackson back for some closure (since the actor got into a motorcycle accident and was out of commission for a while), but god, what a dumb way to do it. A fake marriage to get a green card? Really? Sigh.
– Katherine and Mike. Well, I just don’t even care about them, really, so whether they get married or not makes zero difference at all.
– I liked the idea of Gaby’s storyline, because it’s totally believable that cruel little schoolchildren would tease Juanita and say that she’s not pretty enough to be Gaby’s biological daughter. I also liked that Gaby agreed to go out without makeup. But for someone as naturally pretty as her to think she had to make excuses for the way she looked was taking things a bit too far. Eva Longoria on her worst day probably still looks better than 90% of the population anyway!
