Yeah, I said it. So there. ;P
Oh. My. GOD.
I swear, this show just keeps getting better and better with every passing episode. I can't WAIT for the finale. I have no idea how I'll live without new episodes for the rest of the summer, but damn it, I want next week to come right freaking now.
First off, I loved that they started out the show by having that one family move out because of all the crap that happens on that street. *snerk* Considering that my first thought whenever something bad happens to these people is, "Move, damn it!", I was highly amused. And then Alfre Woodard and son moved in! I thought that wasn't even supposed to happen until next season, but if they're planning ahead, I like. :)
Secondly, when are we starting that religion for Felicia again? Seriously? Because the way she just manipulated Mike into doing exactly what she wanted was just amazing. And you've got to love her for sending Zach's real, honest-to-goodness biological father to go beat the shit out of him. (Oh, 'cause at this point, Mike soooooo has to be. Come on, show, I love you and my theory's almost coming to fruition and my theories never come to fruition! They just stagnate and die. Don't make me unhappy, Marc Cherry! *whimper*)
Oh, and I can't wait for Lynette's manipulative ways to turn around and bite her in the ass next week. I should feel sorry for her if Tom leaves her, but honestly, at this point, I want him to leave her AND take the kids. Or better yet, have him leave her with the kids, leaving her no other choice than to go back to work and get a nanny, and then next season she can do something to piss off Tom again and he can sue for custody and win. No, really, is it next week yet?
Meanwhile, back in SusanLand ... Susan, what the hell is wrong with you? You're not smart on your brightest days, but moving in with Mike now? I think it was a little weird of him to ask, but with a kid in your house and a guy you still don't totally trust, Julie's right -- you shouldn't move in with the guy. Besides, next season he'll have custody of his real, honest-to-goodness biological son Zach who's batshit insane and God knows you don't want to share house space with that. (IT'S HAPPENING, BITCHES. AND I CALLED IT. BELIEVE IT! GYAH.)
Off at Bree's house, Bree is an idiot. I love her to pieces, but she's got a horrible grasp of character in a person. How can she not see how creepy George was even before the erection? (And for someone who doesn't want it to look like she's cheating on her husband, walking her fingers up another guy's spine and blowing in his ear to distract him is a little weird.) And I'm starting to think that she's going a little loopy from all the stress. Making the bed before taking Rex to the hospital? (Not to mention doing her hair, putting on makeup, and dressing in church clothes? But since Danielle caught her during the bedmaking ... ew.)
And then there's Gabrielle. You know, the not-considering-an-abortion thing still bothers me a little, but I keep trying to work it out in my head and I'm managing to go along with it, mostly because of Carlos. It's not up for discussion as long as Carlos is in the house, if you think about it. She just can't come out and say she's off to get one -- just look how he reacted when she wouldn't sign the post-nup. She could go off and get one and then just say she had a miscarriage, but that'd be an awful lot of work to fake while she's still in the house with Carlos. Until he leaves, she just has to be pregnant and ... well, not like it, but definitely put up with it.
The thing is, even with that, I'm still not sure she'll put it out on the table. It's entirely possible (especially considering her Catholicism, no matter how bad at it she might be) that she might not have wanted to be pregnant but that she wasn't about to get an abortion once she became pregnant. I know I wouldn't want to get pregnant right now because God knows I couldn't afford a baby, but if I did get pregnant tomorrow, I would find a way to keep it. I'm a firm believer in anybody else being able to get an abortion, but unless it was absolutely medically necessary, I couldn't bring myself to have one. I don't know ... I'm just rambling about it here, because right now it's the only real problem I have with the show.
And also, with Carlos beating up Justin ... I saw the beating coming, but I completely forgot about him beating up the gay cable guy. So the fact that they now think he's some sort of serial gaybasher is just morbidly amusing in a very *headdesk* sort of way.
So.
OMG IS IT NEXT SUNDAY YET?!?!11!
*flails, keels over and dies*
Ahem. :)
