best episode of the season
yep. i'll call it. best episode of DH this season.
Now, I've heard a rumor that fewer people are watching this season, and certainly, the intrigue hasnt been there, aside from teeny bits here and there.
Does anybody care that the only black family on the street has strange noises coming from the basement? Or that suddenly, a big black retarded guy breaks into someones house to get ice cream and then knocks pregnant Gabi down the stairs, causing a miscarriage? Or that as the police car drives off with retarded guy in it, his mom (Alfre Woodard) puts her finger over her mouth to tell him to keep quiet?
No.
We want to see Rex's murder resolved, and that psycho queen (his pharmacist) George get his comeuppance.
BINGO. We got it. Bree was as cold and methodical as ever.
Then, out of nowhere, Gabi's husband got parolled early. By a "hot nun". Who is out to get Carlos and Gabi's marriage annuled. Wow.
This is the DH I'd been waiting for all season.
Comments
Yup, I agree 100%. Naturally the ep was written by creator Marc Cherry. He's got a good feel for what makes the show work. The whole weirdo-in-the-basement subplot was irrelevant months ago. On the other hand, there were some truly hilarious developments with Lynette and with Gabby.
Best quote of the show: Nun: "Money can't buy happiness, you know."
Gabby: "Oh yes it can. That's just something we tell poor people to keep them from rioting."
