Official Desperate Housewives thread. Perfection not required. Mistakes welcome.

I was wondering why Bree wore her hair up in the last three shows. I guess George letting her hair down had this huge symbolic meaning for the show.

Am I the only one who thought George slipped Bree a date rape drug?

Thats certainly what I thought.

I don't think Lynettes twins are NEW. The Kinsman brothers --the twins-- were in production for Cheaper by the Dozen II. That movie was being filmed in the summer/post production, so that is why you havent been seeing them. When do these current episodes actually get filmed? I think these are the August filming dates.

The Kinsman brothers are still being credited as of yesterday. They may just look different.

There is no way a man could have gotten stockings back on that perfectly, I don't think he "had his way." His manipulation of her later was pretty sinister though anyways.

I can't wait to see next weeks episode!

I had the same thoughts. We women know about pantyhose!

i thought the same thing!! there is NO way a healthy person should have a reaction like she had from taking antihistmines with wine!! c'mon.... is it possible for someone?? probably, but i don't see the slurred speech, poor motor skills and inablility to walk like Bree. I think they'd LIKE us to believe he "had his way", but, I'm doubting he did.

because of the eagles game i wasn't able to get home in time to watch DH last night DBF & I were rushing to get home (Okay, I was rushing to get home, he could care less about DH ) and we passed a bar that had it on one of their TV screens - I almost wanted to stop! i would LOVE a recap if anyone is up for it. all i caught was the last five minutes where Mike tells Paul no one wants him around, and then Susan is trying on a wedding dress with her mother (but I got the impression Mike hadn't proposed), then Mike stormed in and was mad about what Susan did to Zach (but I don't know how he found out), then Susan was sobbing in the street in that dress. anyone who could let me know what happened during the other 55 minutes, i'd appreciate it! thank you!!

I thought George raped her too but Dh kept saying he didn't think so. We actually had a mini argument over it . We suspend disbelief in so many ways with this show (and most others) so I don't think Bree having her nylons intact would be an indication. The look on his face when she woke up was just sinister, almost a smirk I guess. Wonder if she turns up pregnant soon?

Just curious why you guys are referring to it as having his way with her? If he drugged her and she was out cold, it's rape even if she had the intention of following through earlier in the evening. At the moment of truth she wasn't able to give her consent.

I missed a lot last season, why is Carlos in jail?

I love DH, but Terri Hatcher is getting more and more scary looking. She's starting to look like a big head with bulging eyes sitting on top of a skeleton. She used to look so much better and HEALTHIER! Is it just me?

I enjoyed Tom's comment tonight after he swung the golf club, "I feel like a better parent already."

I was thinking the same thing. DH refuses to wacth it (but will Greys Anatomy) anyway I had to tell him about that one. He thought it was pretty funny. I tend to agree with Lynette. Sometimes we need to do little (or even big) things for ourselves to make us feel better and that helps us to be better parents. Lucky for me going to WDW is good for both the adults and kids in our family. Win/Win. Of course lately it was a new pair of jeans, but I wil take what I can get!

I agree with everyone about the panty hose. I my guess was it was something like the date rap drug, but most likely not. Most likely something like zxprea or something he could easily get his hands on. I agree his manipulation is scary and creapy.

Shugardrawers, I just said "had is way" as rather a joke and a nicer word then rape on the dis boards. I agree if he would of it would have been rape. If she turns up pregnant it doesn't mean he raped her, since they did finished the job when she woke up.

Yes, back when she was on Lois and Clark. I loved Dean what's his name. So cute. However I don't like him as much in other roles.

Once that show was over she started her decent into scaryhood. I think gaining 10 pounds (or more she is tall) would do her good.

 

[lillygator]

Didn't see previews for next week - what happens?

 

[jedi_librarian]

UGH. George - what a big LOSER. I'm pretty sure he did slip her a date rape drug. But I agree with others that I don't think he "had his way". Her stockings were still on. But I think the way he guilted her into sleeping with him was pretty low.

And Mike - ok, I know what Susan did was bad - sending Zack away, but come on, can he really blame her for disliking Zack so much after all that's happening? He's beginning to annoy me, too (Mike).

 

[WDWMom]

I love the quote from Tom, too. I thought it was very devious of Lynnette to do that to him, but you do what ya gotta do. Getting sick of Susan too. Way too think and whinny. She could leave and I wouldn't miss her.

I was so hoping Bree wouldn't sleep with creepy George. The guy gives me the creeps. I so loved the beginning with him being rejected. Some of the women came up with some creative ways of letting him down

I agree. She didn't look healthy at all tonight.

Interesting note--HDTV did a poll asking men who the best looking woman on tv was (In higher definition tv) and Jessica Alba won. They said she was the hottest. Terri Hatcher was voted the worst, because men said on such a clear tv screen you could see 'bulging veins in her forehead'.......

Teri Hatcher really did look awful last night, especially during those closeups at the end of the show. DH and I commented about that to each other last night too.

I agree that Creepy George gave her something way more than an antihistimine. The thought "date rape" crossed my mind when I saw him helping her up the stairs too. I was surprised that he didn't force himself on her then too (I don't think he did), but that was definitely a dirty guilt trip he pulled on her when she woke up.

I just can't believe she's falling for his crap and is going after him the way she is, whether she's upset with Rex or not. She's way too proper for that and it hasn't been very long since Rex died.

Susan is getting really whiney, although I understand why she gave Zach the money too. And while I can understand Mike being annoyed by it (but he way overreacted), he does need to remember that she's got to look out for Julie before anyone else because that's what parents have to do. I think it's awful that he doesn't get that.

Tom's reaction to the clubs was hilarious! Great suit for Lynette too! Her boss is getting back to being mean again, now that she's not dragging Lynette to the bar anymore.

 

[OhMari]

After Bree woke up and George told her he could only take so much rejection, this is when Bree invited him over to the bed. The clock showed 3:something, then the next scene it showed George sleeping on the bed, and Bree sitting in a chair and they showed the clock again to 4:00 something. Did only 15 minutes go by, or 45 minutes or an hour. What did the time have to do with anything. And why was Bree sitting in the chair stairing off. I think George raped her, I think he wanted to cover his tracks by doing it again in case Bree gets pregnant.

 

[Philadisney]

hmmm i am starting to put together the pieces - can anyone offer a brief recap of last nights show? thanks!!

I haven't kept up with this thread this season, so if this has been discussed already I apologize, but am I the only person who can't stand Susan and the direction they've taken her character?

she is my least favorite also. she just always does the wrong thing - i know that it's supposed to be funny, but sometimes it is just embarrassing. i missed most of last night's episode becos it was on 2 hours early here so i don't know exactly what happened, but what on earth was she doing prancing around their living room in a wedding dress when mike hasn't even proposed yet? a little weird...

I think George raped her, I think he wanted to cover his tracks by doing it again in case Bree gets pregnant.

I think it was around 3:30 and then around 4:30. When they show seemingly insignificant things I always try to pay attention thinking that it will come up again. Don't know what the point of showing the clock was, maybe at a later date we'll know, or maybe there was no significance I still think the hotel guy will play into this somehow. He seemed very eerie of George, and seemed very concerned when Bree was incoherent. I'm glad she said something about the 'antihistamines' so that he wouldn't just think she was drunk. I can see there being a trial later for Rex's death and then maybe the whole idea of George drugging Bree may come up from the hotel guy and then maybe they'd make a link to him drugging Rex... who knows!

ETA: I was also very proud of Gabrielle this episode and how she didn't sleep with that guy and actually tricked him into admitting that he wasn't in love with her, but just wanted to sleep with her. Seems like she might really care about Carlos, or do you all think it's just because she realized the whole gardener affair wasn't really anything but lust?

Her mom is getting married and she had Susan put the dress on so she could alter it. My point is can any one person really be that screwed up? I just think they need to lay off the drama a little bit.
