Desperate Housewives: Season Four - "It's a hell of a day in the neighborhood", indeed! This season starts off a bit rocky what with the addition of the sketchy new housewife Katherine Mayfair, who moves back to Wisteria Lane with her family after many years. Her daughter has no recollection of her old friends or memories on the lane, and Katherine has a sordid past with her husbands. Those two story lines play out to be the show's main 'mysteries', and at the end they both tie together in a very tense two-part finale. This season we also deal with the Hodge family's new addition, the Delfino family's expected addition, Gabrielle's loveless marriage to Victor Lang, and Edie being...Edie.
I loved this season. I blew through it in 6 days, and I'm not sure if it was because it was a shortened season or because it was very intense...or maybe it was very intense
because it was a short season.
All-in-all, I loved this season from beginning to end, it had me cheering when we found out
Lynette's cancer was gone, crying when the tornado took
Ida Greenberg from us, rooting for Tom when he stood up to Kayla, and laughing at Susan's continued spastic actions. I just picked up season 5 tonight, and I'm eager to start it (tonight) to see how the fifth season plays out, since it's revealed (within the last moments of the season four finale) that
the show jumps FIVE years.
He was tied with Sun for my favorite character, and, even though she annoys me, Claire's reaction was heartbreaking.
