Desperate Housewives 6×06 — “Don’t Walk on the Grass”: Last night’s episode of Desperate Housewives was basically about rules and how most of the residents of Wisteria Lane fail to follow the ones in their lives. Even though it seemed like not much happened in the ep to propel the season-long story lines a bit further, I found it to be an enjoyable hour. At least this time around I could connect with a few of the rule-breakers, so the whole program was more interesting to me.
– For once, I found myself agreeing with Tom. Let’s face it, cheating on a college exam in a subject you’re never going to use in your life doesn’t make you a bad person. I know there are some people out there who would simply be aghast at the mere thought of cheating, but wake up. It happens, plain and simple. Do I advocate cheating your whole way through college, taking shortcuts in every single class, buying papers online, etc? Of course not. But I have no problem looking the other way when a 40-something man cheats on a math test when he’s back in school majoring in Mandarin Chinese.
– Speaking of Mandarin, I forgot that’s what Tom’s latest “dream” is. They never show him actually studying it or, you know, practicing some phrases or something, so I’m not at all surprised that he’s falling behind.
– Bree and Karl are getting a bit more interesting. I think she would be making a big mistake if she married him. Sure, he’s fun as a fling, but as soon as he has her in his clutches, he’ll treat her the same way he treated Susan and his second wife. Once a cheater, always a cheater. There’s no way Bree’s gonna be able to change him and she’ll just end up being miserable.
– Gaby trying to homeschool Juanita was hilarious! I cannot imagine her doing that for an entire school year. My bet is that she’ll be apologizing to the principal and begging the woman to let Juanita back in. There’s no way the homeschooling situation could end favorably!
– Katherine is just as unbalanced as ever. Did she really think that she would be able to seduce Mike? The woman is seriously off her rocker. And what was up with just waltzing into the Bowen home like that? Just because the door isn’t locked, that doesn’t mean it’s an open invitation to neighbors to stroll right in.
– I wonder what the deal is with Drea’s character (I still don’t know what her name is on the show). Sounds more and more like they’re in witness protection rather than just on the run from the law. I wonder what they witnessed.
– Why can’t Orson just leave well enough alone? He’s forcing Bree to stay married to him, which is creepy to begin with. Then he complains about not getting any affection unless he forces it on her when they’re in public, which is all kinds of wrong. Now he’s suspicious of her again and will surely uncover the affair with Karl. But he’s not the “wronged” party here. Bree said she didn’t love him and wanted a divorce. He doesn’t get to decide what she does after that.
