    What a season finale! This season was so much better than the boring 6th season. The episode's opening scene was shocking and it had great suspense which kept me wanting more and more. The episode is very entertaining and it has many funny moments. The best part of this episode is of course Susan's return. She has been missed. Gaby's storyline with her stepfather has been awesome and this was a superb final face-off between them. Eva Longoria was excellent in this episode. The last 10 minutes were breath taking and scary. The 7th season ends with a crazy cliffhanger which will be the final storyline of the series.moreless

  • An awesome eseason finale!

    This was a terrific way to end this season of Desperate Housewives. I really enjoyed the whole concept of this 'progressive dinner', especially the comment from Karen that "it's not fun, but it's free!".

    Great to see Susan moving back onto the lane, but I am honestly bored of Lynette's and Tom's daram. It has not been interesting at all this season, and I can only hope they come up with something better next year.

    As for Bree, today was a little better. I enjoyed the scene at the ex's boutique, particularly Bree's very different outfit! That was quite hilarious!

    By far the best storyline of the day was Gabrielle's! Teh scene in the woods was epic, and the end of the episode, which I shna't spoil, was brilliant too! All up, this was a brilliant season finale and a great cliffhanger! Let's hope next season is just as great! :)moreless

  • What a cliffhanger........

    Well this episode achieved what any season finale should do... leave me wanting more and this episode well and truly did the ending twist was so juicy and excited i can hardly wait for season 8, however other then that this finale didnt leave us with much to expect from season 8, i think tom and lynette breaking up was a pretty good think there relaionship had grown somwhat stale over the years so this should give lynette a chance to find some new fresh storylines next year, gaby will obvo have dark days ahead with carlous killing her stepfather, im also excited for brees storylines i am enjoying her relationship with chuck, he is a much better suit for her then keith ever was and the two actors actually have really good chemistry with one another which is really good, this epsiode didnt really set anything up for susan other then the face that she has returned to the lane so i am excited to see what the writers have in store for her next year, renee didnt have anything exciting to do in this episode she provived abit of comic releif and that is about it, vanessa williams has been wasted on this show so i hope the writers have some good stuff for renee next year,
    overall though this was a pretty decent finale with some great twists and i certianily can not wait to see what happens nextmoreless

    Come on Over for Dinner (2) was a perfect and very entertaining episode of Desperate Housewives. I really enjoyed watching this episode because it had all the elements that make this show fun to watch. There was drama, intrigue, suspense, surprise, humor, and secrets. Tom and Lynette keep it classy and come to a major decision as Renee learns her ex is remarrying. Gaby's stalker stepfather reappears and causes a lot of fear, while Carlos takes protective action. It was interesting how every thing played out and who was in on the truth. The things that these housewives have been through is crazy!!!!!!!moreless

    everyone is on top form in this episode its hard to mention everybody in my review:
    I am so pleased Vanessa Williams is part of the cast. She is catty, funny and caring. I hope she will stick around for some time.
    The fact that Tom and Lynette have separated is devestation. they have been through so much. the acting between Doug and Felcity was great, especially the moment when Lynette said "oh the kids"
    Bree and Chuck are finally having their oates. This too was hilarious - Bree burning a roast? no way! But now she has to hide a secret from him...
    Susan is back on the lane and Susans' Dinner speech was well said by Teri Hatcher. good to see her back!

    But, once again this year, Eva and Ricardo steal the spotlight. Tony Plana is creepy as Gabby's evil stepfather - the scene where she confronts him was well acted by Eva Longoria and the scene where she is confronted at her house was powerful and shocking. Now Alejandro has been murdered, I feel Season Eight will be very, very interesting.....moreless
