Desperate Housewives Season 3 Discussion Thread

[Ting Ting]

I really enjoyed last night's episode.

I like where they went with Gabrielle and Zach. I think the storyline would have gotten a little too predictable if they kept his obsession with her going.

I'm glad that Lynette is going to work with Tom. I never liked it when she worked at the office anyway; I found her stories to be a bit dull.

Alma is a freak! I'm so glad Bree punched her! I also thought it was funny when she sprayed Gloria's shoes with the hose. I'm going to be sad to see her go on her break, as she is my favorite character. But I'm glad that the producers are kind enough to give her this time off to have her children and spend time with family.

And I could care less about Susan. I hope she gets hit by a truck.

Thank you!

The obsession is going. He plans on marrying her. Could you be more obsessed?


Quick question to all the fans: Am I the only one who didn't like how casually the director / writers handled the rape? By god it should've been so much more serious than a one-liner, some cheery music and a punch to the face.

I kind of agree. I wouldn't write it off, though. We didn't see the whole situation play out. I'm sure there's more. Once Orson wakes up and realizes what happened, I'm sure he and Bree will be taking action.

Also, technically, Alma and Orson are still married.

Doesn't make it any less of a rape.

[numba1lostboy]

Oh, I know. I was just pointing it out because I'm wondering when they're going to deal with it on the show.

[Rowlf_The_Dog]

They aren't technically married ... he was granted the divorce ... she was presumed dead ...

I don't think that if it were in the real world ... he would be still married to her ... just cuz she shows up one day alive and well ...

Or would it ???

[Sotiris]

Does anyone know when the season 3 box set is coming out?

[lord-of-sith]

Does anyone know when the season 3 box set is coming out?

I would predict around September of this year.

[JiminyCrick91]

After season three is done.

[Rowlf_The_Dog]

That old witch is crazy ... Could Gloria be Monique's killer ???

[Rowlf_The_Dog]

All I can say is ... wow!

I can not wait until next week ... I think Alma is dead in the tub ... and Gloria is the one that hits Andrew in the head with the fire poker ... and Gloria killed Monique ...

Gosh I hope Orson isn't dead LOL

[MadonnasManOne]

Awesome episode, tonight! Wow!

It's all coming together, now. I can't wait until next week! It looks like it's going to be another "killer" episode! What is Orson's part in all of this. If he didn't kill Monique, then why did he run over Mike? If he thought Mike might connect him with the death of Monique, it still doesn't make sense for him to run over Mike, unless he really did do something wrong. What did he tell Bree? Who cut the step in the ladder?

Oh, I can't wait!

[Rowlf_The_Dog]

I think Mama Hodge or Alma cut the step on the ladder ...

Hmmm ... Next week can not come sooner ...

[numba1lostboy]

I think it's safe to say that Orson killed Monique. Who else could have done it in that span of time? And if it was someone else, what was Orson doing there? And why wasn't he freaking out that his girlfriend had been murdered.
At the least, I'm sure he had something to do with Monique's murder.

I think Orson might have cut the step, too. Earlier in the episode, we saw him working on the ladder...
Alma couldn't have done it because she's locked in the attic. And how could virtually-crippled Mama Hodge handle that ladder?

Tom was hilarious tonight! Hilarious!
Zach was disgusting. Just plain gross. What a freak.

[Rowlf_The_Dog]

Could the crippled thing be an act?

Why did Mama Hodge have to lock Alma up?

[numba1lostboy]

Why did Mama Hodge have to lock Alma up?

Because she was going to go to the police and ruin their plan.

[lord-of-sith]

I was very impressed last night! This show is on such a role, and it is gonna be really good next week! My money is on that Alma dies.

And the award for funniest line of the night goes to...

TOM! For the line "Here's the deal, Austin's hot, he'll attract all the girls in the school, and half the boys in the chorus"

Totally hilarious!

[Disney-Fan]

Dialogue was clunky this episode, but the story's getting really good! I know for a fact that Orson will survive, since the execs pretty much admire the actor but I still wonder how he'll survive the fall. The mystery is also getting seriously complex and twisted.

Still not on par with Season 1, but not very far behind. I just wish some of the original humor of the show would return. Not so much the one-liners (which are still there in plenty), more the case of melodramatic moments turned funny in a matter of seconds (ie; see Susan and Edie on the boat as they go to spread Martha's ashes).

[MadonnasManOne]

Wow! The episode is only half over, and it has been AMAZING! Mother Hodge killed Monique, and Orson, reluctantly, helps her get rid of the body. Now, Gloria has made a soup, which obviously has poison in it, to give to Bree. She's given it to Danielle, and told Danielle to say she's made it!

Okay, it's back on. Got to get back to watching!
