I'm always happy to see Cynthia Watros! Wish she was more than a one shot deal. Maybe if they like her she be back for more. I'm not sure I like "House" enough to tune in just for her.

I think it's funny that Gabrielle's real daughter resembles her physically but Juanita's personality is much more like Gabi.

The switched child sl is mildly interesting but I don't know how they will resolve this. The rest of the sl's are not very appealing, Susan is dumber/offensive than ever and I did not think that was possible.

I agree, Susan's is pretty bad. Sad (or pathetic) that the writers can't come up with anything else for her.

I'm starting to think the other parents will die and Gabrielle will get her real daughter and get to keep Juanita. That seems the most obvious happy ending. Not sure how often this show sticks to the obvious.

The Vanessa Willaims/Bree storyline isn't all that great, either. All these women have to do is fight over some hunky guy? At least they're playing it for laughs but I think the attempts at humor are failing.

I wish we were seeing more of Felicia Tilman. I'm guessing she won't play a part until they begin to resolve the Paul storyline.

Ok last night's show was fun....the fight that is. I like watching Vanessa/Gabby more than Vanessa/Bree. I must have missed something because I thought Carlos was really pissed at Gabby, maybe enough to break up and it seems like they aren't having any fallout from her finding their bio daughter. Which is good really cuz I do like them together.

When I saw Paul on the monitor I was thinking...wonder if they are going to drag this out all season, but it looks like from previews that Susan is going to tell Mike right away. So Paul's "plan" is just to have the neighbors fighting and mad at each other? Ok...yeah that's revenge...aren't they always fighting and making up anyway?

Tom yelling at Lynette that HE makes the money and his mother stays....I couldn't believe that Lynette let him get away with that. HE's making the money right now because HE didn't just have a baby. I knew right away that his mother was having "memory" problems. Looks like Lynette is gonna have to stay home to watch his mother now.

and wth?? who is this new neighbor Emma Graham? When did she move in? Caberet (sp) act? wasn't she just singing on stage? Not sure why this woman was taking up time...maybe they'll tie it in with one of the current story lines.

Bree...I guess there is such a thing as too much a good thing lol Loved how they had her John Wayne walking ;) I enjoyed the humor in this episode. And I'm glad that Susan's humorless porno show seems to be ending.

I am still laughing at Bree in the shower when Keith opens the door....."I hope you are here to stab me!"

Where is Paul getting all his money?

I think there was some mention of him getting a settlement for being wrongly imprisoned in the season premiere.

Was the best show this year. The shower thing was a scream.

Of course predictable that creepy Paul would blackmail Susan.

Lynette needs to smack Tom.

Five in, I'm not really happy with the season so far.

Still happy with Paul being back, and I can be patient enough to let it build, but...

Nothing Renee-related has really worked for me so far. Not very credible, not likable. The least successful 'fifth woman' role for me.

Mary Alice's narration seems a little too gleeful in rooting for her husband to disrupt the lives of all her friends...

The Halloween stuff in the previews for next week looks like it will be fun...

The past few weeks have played better than expected, given the premise. I thought the mid-season finale was very well done, and smoothly integrated lots of stuff, especially the "law of unintended consequences" as the opposition to Paul's plans spiraled out of control.

I am jealous of Bree. I'd love to have Green and Schneider fighting over me. :p

I'm still 'eh' on a number of general things, but this was a really good midseason cliffhanger, yeah.

I really don't buy Renee being hopelessly in love with Tom.
I don't buy Keith's urgency in needing a big commitment from Bree.
Gaby has been SOOOOOOO awful...

But I dug Paul tricking Lee and Bob into selling their house, and how successful Paul's plan to turn the neighbors against each other was... Lynette's bold unfortunate move in bringing in a block of toughies, Parker's questioning of the opposition to the halfway house...

Juanita and Bob and Lee in peril in the car... Susan knocked to the ground and Renee trying to get to her... good stuff.

Everything came to a fun climax.

January 2nd. That's not so long... the first night of stuff starting to come back from break.

Not enjoying this season.

FFing a lot, so I missed the trick with the Bob and Lee selling the house, how did it happen?

I agree with you Dax, I don't buy Renne's love for Tom or Keith rushing into the marriage.

To me, the whole show is very inconsistent and blah in overall. THere were some great moments through the season though. Honestly, I don't care much about who killed Paul, I just hope he's dead as this plot didn't cut it for me.

Again, I have to ask: Why do the writers hate Terri hatcher? Susan has the worst plots ever, did she run over their puppy or worse?

Whatshername (Trixie?), the older neighbor, received an anonymous job offer... stayed in a hotel, and 'the guy never showed up'. Paul told Lee that she'd sold (when she hadn't) and... 'everybody ALREADY hates you'... Bob apparently (some exposition dialogue pre-riot) thought it best that they sell now before it all goes under...

Thanks, I saw it with the neighbour (Mitzy?), but missed the Bob and Lee bit. Well, very clever, but I jsu thated this whole plot with Paul buying the houses etc.

Right. Mitzi.

Paul's the element I'm enjoying most this season (but I still find it irritating that Zach hasn't been in play for so long, and goes unmentioned here...). The story is silly, but Moses sells it enough for me.

I love how smug Paul is even smiling when he's shot in the chest...

Moses is great, I just find it stupid to bring him like that to kill him in the middle. I wanted a conclusion, or what's the word. Plus, the plot was lame, they should have done more with him. it feels to me liek the season wasn't planned much ahead and there were quick changes and rewrites.

I'd be really surprised if Paul was dead now. I'm sure there's more to come... I expect he'll be around the rest of the season...

He won't die without finding out that Beth is Felicia's daughter, of course.

Fun surprise to see Orson in the preview. Hadn't read that anywhere yet.

You see, I haven't thought about that at all. I considered him dead for good. Your explanation makes more sense now. I suppose, he'll accuse someone esle who didn't do it or someone esle confesses to protect their beloved ones.

As for Orson, I haven't seen the preview, but I've seen the pics and was very surprised as i didn't catch it anywhere.

OK, so I missed a couple before the break. Why does Susan need a kidney? Who shot Paul?

note: some of the plastics on the women, Bree is way too streched, but has been for a long time. Was disapointed to see Lynette (Huffman) with a ton of shit in her lips getting to look like all of the other clones. She has had a ton of surgery done, (look at any old film of her to see), but it has been subtle. Now, she is going the route of all the others. Not good.

>> Why does Susan need a kidney?

She was injured in the riot. I think... one's bad, and the other... I don't know. A doctor said (in this Sunday's show), but I forgot already. It's new - it wasn't in the story before the break, so if you saw this week's, you know as much as anybody...

>> Who shot Paul?

We don't know. Mystery.

Didn't she lose one many years ago? I remember she had the spleen problem once.

As for the shooting, it wasn't Mike, was it? I know it looks like it was, but I really hope it wasn't.

BTW I skip a lot, any mentions of Zack?

Krystal, I agree re the plastic surgeries. I couldn't watch Lynette in the car with Renee. It was killing me.

Still no mention of Zach this season. I'm hoping he'll be a part of this story.

I doubt Mike shot Paul.

OK, I thought I must have missed several, I know I missed the last one.
I actually burst out laughing with the interaction between Bree's ex and her current boyfriend.

Shelle, all this face work slays me. Take a woman who would be pretty anyhow, tune her up a bit, maybe OK, but they all seem to keep going until they look like aliens. I just don't get it.

Krystal, I've seen the last one and still was bit confused why Susan was in the hospital as it slipped my mind.

As for the surgeries, yes, it boggles me why they do it.

So here's our "mention" of Zack.

Did Beth plant the gun or Zack? But he didn't go in the living room.

Bree left Zach alone in the living room when she went to get him a tip so I figure he planted the gun. ;)

You're right. I thought they were already in the living room, but they were in the kitchen when Zack came.

The previews were dumb - 'the shocking return of somebody they thought they'd never see again'...

Only the dead really qualify here, and even then, we might not be TOTALLY shocked...

Edie. I'd certainly be surprised to ever see Edie again on the show...
