If he wanted to come early, we'd get this on December 23rd. :P

Never underestimate the power of Oprah. :P ;)

Don't forget that this Sunday will be a new episode of Desperate Housewives! I can't wait! I wish that this were kicking off a round of all new episodes, but, hey, I'll take the last new one they have filmed!

The final episode filmed before the writers strike airs tonight, at 9/8 Central! It will be the last new episode we'll see for some time. Here is the summary:

Welcome to Kanagawa
Episode Number: 80 Season Num: 4 First Aired: Sunday January 6, 2008 Prod Code: 410

In the aftermath of the tornado, the residents of Wisteria Lane try to rebuild their lives. Katherine discovers someone may know her secret while Lynette faces the possibility of her family's fate.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm very excited to see a new episode, but, also very sad that it will be the last new episode we'll see for a while. I really wish that the strike would end, where it benefits everyone involved, so that they can begin filming new episodes!

Oh, thank God! Lynette's family is alive. Poor Karen. The look of devastation on her face, upon the realization that Ida didn't make it, was so heartbreaking.

Great episode... heartbreaking in the earlier parts. Scandalous in the latter. What a cliffhanger to go out on with no one knowing when the show will be back. :huh:

Okay, so, since I'm not in the US at the moment, does that mean we'll only get half-seasons of these shows, because of this strike? And what if they decide like in March to end it, and can write the shows again? Does that mean we'll get the rest of the seasons produced? Or just have to wait for another full season in the 08-09 season?

many have considered that epsiode 10 will be the season 4 finale. if the strike is resloved soon enough they are looking to have new episodes written and filmed for a March airing. i doubt the strike will last too long.

A little less than 30 minutes from now, a new episode of Desperate Housewives airs! I'm so glad to have our gals back! Here's the summary of the episode:

Sunday
Episode Number: 81 Season Num: 4 First Aired: Sunday April 13, 2008 Prod Code: 411

Two weeks after the tornado, with Mike still in rehab, Mrs. Delfino gets a visit from her cousin Tim (guest star Chris Carmack). Meanwhile, Bree desperately awaits to return to her own house. Gabrielle learns that Carlos' blindness is permanent. Katherine is unable to keep some of her secrets from the women of Wisteria Lane. Finally, a surprise wedding ceremony has its own share of secrets.

Watch a sneak peek of the episode, here:

O dear, I've read to much viewing the last page! :D
Just yesterday I saw the episode in which Victor was cast ashore after his 'accident' on the boat with Carlos and Gabrielle, faking memory loss in the hospital towards the doctors, but telling Gabriel that he "remembers everything".

And there was this nice guest role by Richard Chamberlain (anyone remember him from the TV-series Shogun and The Thorn Birds?) as the gay stepfather of Lynette.

I have a bit of a strange kind of addiction to DHW. I really want to see it each time to know what happens next, yet I find most (women) characters insufferable, because they manipulate and lie all the time to get their way. Strangely I find Lynette the most sympathetic, though she has her manipulative ways as well.But at the same time she is a strong woman.

And my toes curl when I see the clumsy ways of Susan, especially the way in which she tries to amend for her mistakes. (In particular in that episode she tried to be friends with the gay couple that moved in next to her)
But , after all, DHW is only a caricature , right?

:wink:

Oh, my gosh! Another chilling end. I seriously got chills at the end of the episode. With Orson, and then with the man who circled the picture of Dylan!

Oh, and Gabby was just too much! She seriously made me laugh my a$$ off!

Thanks to a spoiler site, I know why that man circled Dylan's picture.

PM me if you want to know.
