The Game was another really enjoyable episode of Desperate Housewives 4th season, with some really funny moments and a few emotinal one's
The season mystery is developing nicely, and i am really enjoying the character of katherine at the moment, dana delany is such a fantastic actress. There was some funny moments with lynette to, the relationship between her and her mum is really funny and great to watch.
I liked Susan and bree bonding at the end of the episode, and thought the scenes and the doctor with susnan where funny.
Overall a brilliant episode of Desperate Housewives one of the best of the series so far.moreless

Another great episode... This season is a blast! So, I loved the Mary Alice part where she is comparing children games to adult games. There were major events at Susan's party. It was great when Lynnette came on that charade party. She was so high and so hilarious! Hang them high! Lol! First, she pointed at Edie and then she imitated the hanging part! Hilarious! And I'm starting to feel sorry for Katharine. Seems like she had some rough days, after all. It was so sad when she cried at the end of the episode, probably remembering what happened in that room. And I hope her daughter doesn't obey her orders. I hope she'll stay in touch with Julie. The games are getting complicated... Can't wait for more! :)moreless

I liked the Katherine/Gabby cat-fight as well. =]moreless

THE GAME - Susan hosts a charades party. Everone hates the party, so they all make plans. But when Bree tells everyone what she heard and say at Katharine's house. Everyone changes their mind and decide to go to see if they can get Katharine drunk and see if she will spill any BIG SECRETS.

This episode was just HILARIOUS. When Lynette ate the brownies with the pot in them and came to the charades party, she was hysterical! It was the best part of the episode. Defintely a wonderful episode that adds more juicy secrets to Katharine's mystery.

WHAT WILL HAPPEN NEXT?moreless

Funny and satisfying, The Game make Katherine's mistery more disturbing...What did she do to Dylan anyway?, Why Dylan doesn't remember anything about Wisteria Lane?, What happen in that room at the end of the episode...by the way a really good scene, sad and doubty...who would have thought? Gaby explodes against Katherine and so did she, Lynette eat freaky cakes thanks to her mother, the great Stella, and Susan receives a tragic recomendation from Bree that makes us all laughing, the third step for Desperate Housewives Season Four it's secure and concrete...you can watch it with a smile on your face and to never turn it off.moreless

ADD QUOTES
- Katherine: I think making this room off limits was a mistake. If I want Dylan to focus on other things I really need to make it less intriguing. Adam: Speaking of intriguing, what were you thinking last night? Katherine: What? Adam: Come on, the worst thing a father could do? You realize what people are going to think? Katherine: Yeah, they're going to be very uncomfortable and uncomfortable people don't ask questions. Edit
- (All the kids are reaching for the brownies Stella made and she stops them) Stella: Shoo! Those are only for grownups. Kayla: But, why? Stella: Because they have special medicine in them. Porter: Like the grown-up ice tea you always drink? Stella: Similar! How about some ice cream instead? And you can watch TV until your eyes fall out. Edit
- (Gabrielle and Bree are talking on the phone) Gabrielle: She slapped her kid? No! Bree: Yes. And get this. When Adam said Dylan would just keep asking questions, Katherine said, and I quote, 'Well, we're just going to have to find better lies.' Oh, hang on, I've got another call. Gabrielle: Don't answer it. It's Susan. She's hosting another game night. Bree: Another one? It's time for an anonymous letter. Edit
