  • Brilliantly devious episode!

    This was a really awesome episode, with a lot of antifreeze! There was just so much evil devious planning and so much canniving that was such a brilliant episode!

    The Susan, Felicia and Paul storyline was just great! So good that I don't want to spoil anymore, but I definitely recommend seeing it!

    The room makeover with Lynette, Tom and Renee was so boring. Lynette's charactr has been ridiculously boring all season, except ofo r one particular episode.

    Everything at Bree's house ws just brilliant! So much comedy from Gabrieelle's part, I found myself laughing at all of those scenes, and it was truly a scintillating storyline in so many ways! Those little girls are just hilarious!

    LAll up, a brilliant episode with so much great houmour! Overlooking the flaw of Lynette, everything wlas just brilliant, and I can't wait for the next week's episode!moreless

    An all new D House tonight and it turned out to be one of the better episodes of the season. I really dislike Felicia so I hope that her master plan to take down Paul fails. I actually liekd the Susan and Paul dynamic tonight, usually I hate everything with her as of late.

    The Tom and Lynette continued struggle was enjoyable tonight. The latter had some great witty lines to counter her husband and Rene.

    Not sure if I like Bree and the new detective together, but we shall see.

    Juanita actually had me laughing tonight. Usually she bugs me, but she was good today.

    This was just a very well-done episode.moreless

    I'll Swallow Poison on Sunday was a perfect and very entertaining episode of Desperate Housewives. I really enjoyed watching this episode because there was a lot of character and plot development. It was interesting to meet Detective Cake who checks up on Felicia. Bree endured a rough time with Gaby and the girls staying with her but gets through by thanks to Carlos. Bree and Gaby make a major decision about their friendship. Lynette goes behind Renee's back to redo Tom's office to her liking but Renee does the same thing and Tom loves it, causing the widening gap between him and Lynette to become bigger. I like Tom in his new job and I liked how Renee did what she did and why. Susan continues caring for Paul who seems to get worse. Felicia has worked Susan into her plans and causes some big trouble. I look forward to watching the next episode of Desperate Housewives!!!!!!!moreless

  • This is the Desperate housewives we've known and loved...

    Like it's original concept, this season nearing its finale had brought us a lot of what's behind the doors in Westeria Lane. Now that's an episode ye kinda hard to miss. All those original conflicts. This is the story of Westeria Lane and everyone in it. These recent episodes are just starting to remind me why i love DH.
    (if you haven't seen the episode, stop reading... spoilers alert spoilers alert)
    This is the Felicia Tillman we've known and hate. I personally missed her when she disappeared for i have this thought in my mind that i know she'd make a real great villain. She's perfect for this. I love how she evolved from that tactless newcomer to that vindictive psychopath who's of for Paul young's head. And she's back, though her ways aren't as surprisingly clever and mad as she use to, it makes me happy knowing that they didn't try to cook up some new annoyingly weird neighbor to bring in some mystery to the lane. I get it why Paul young actually believed her. Paul was not an evil guy in the first place. He was a grieving husband who was pushed to his limits. Like any other person in this lane. The only thing that separates him from them is that he actually killed someone (although techincaly Andrew did run over Juanita Solis(I), still, she actually died when she fell down the stairs). At least Paul Young and Felicia Tillman brought back trouble in the Lane with them. Unlike Mike, he's suppose to be that knight riding off the white horse. Now, he's just too lame. I think this episodes preceding the finale are the perfect way to close the show. I sure am gonna miss the lane, but there can be no other perfect way to end it before their last curtain call...moreless

    I really enjoyed this episode of desperate housewives, i really loved all the stuff with bree gaby and the kids as bree tried to disipline gabys spoiled children, i thought the scenes when the kids thought that bree was trying to kill them was really funny, i liked the fact that carlous didnt rat bree out to the cop, the cop that from the looks of things bree may start a relationship with, susan had good storlyine this week i enjoyed all the stuff with felicia espiicaaly the barf in the bag ( so funny ) Lynette had the worst storyline this week she and tom are being really horried to one another i feel a seperation in the way despite that this was a really great episode season 7 seems to be improving as it approchs the end, better late then nevermoreless
