Yes, Mary Alice, Life Is Unfair…


At the conclusion of last Sunday’s “Desperate Housewives,” narrator Mary Alice Young told us that life is unfair.

Yes, Mary Alice, life IS unfair—especially for all of us “DH” fans, since it will probably be months before we find out who lived or died, thanks to the writers’ strike…

The next episode has been completed, but ABC will probably hang onto it until it gets more new episodes.

Which leaves us plenty of time to discuss Mary Alice’s revelation that one woman would lose a husband and they all would lose a friend…

Ever since I heard that two people were going to die—one of them being male—I got worried about Tom. Now, I don’t know for sure that he’s dead, but it doesn’t look good—and that upsets me. I’ve always liked him and I don’t like them making Lynette into the tragedy-of-the-week character.

But that’s probably better than the selfish, unreasonable witch they keep turning her into. Releasing the cat was horrible and I know it had to infuriate pet lovers everywhere.

However, that doesn’t mean she deserves to have her husband die…

Fortunately, Tom is not the only possibility here. It did look like Victor died and he is still Gaby’s husband. But them someone else would have to be the friend since no one liked Victor. If it was Tom, he could be the husband and the friend, making Nathan’s stalker the second death.

Stupid writers’ strike…

There was plenty to like about the episode, but there were several things that made me roll my eyes: 1) Carlos was able to drive home, even though the funnel cloud was just
behind the neighborhood. 2) The wind was strong enough to flip over a car; but Carlos and Victor were able to stand up with no trouble. 3) Did you see how long it took for those papers to fly away from Gaby?

And I’m still bothered that a shrewd politician like Victor would be crazy enough to do something as stupid as attempt murder—twice.

However, for the most part, the episode was pretty dramatic. As usual, I loved Bree’s story and it was nice to see Susan take charge for once.

I just wish we knew how it all ended. At least with season-ending cliffhangers, you know that in four months, you’ll get the resolution. This time, we have no idea…

So what did you think? Who do you think didn’t survive?
