r/DesperateHousewives

Just started season 3 yesterday. I’ve seen this so many times but always forget how funny this season is. Norah (can’t stand her) is hilarious. She has so many good one liners. Orson comes into the picture and he’s comedy gold. Just now watching Gabby, Lynette, and Susan drinking margaritas on the porch and Susan gets into the taxi pretending to be Ida. This show is great!!

I've rewatched the Season 8 scene where Bree unloads on Susan, Gabby and Lynette for scapegoating her. It's probably one of the few good scenes in the entire season.

Also, I've noticed something about Bree in this scene, and maybe Marcia Cross brought this to the character. It's almost as though Bree is happy her drinking and liberated lifestyle has brought these three back into her life, just so she could tell each of them to go to hell, and deservedly so. I can see it in Marcia Cross' eyes that Bree is thankful she has the chance to unload on this ungrateful trio, and she is going to take full advantage of the opportunity.

Just curious about anyone's thoughts about how Marcia Cross pulled off this scene.

On S4E15 rn and what happened to Mike? He turned from charming, self-sufficient and supportive to a mamas boy! Not protecting Susan by any means! Why does his mom just get introduced in season four?

I am starting to think many characters get destroyed on purpose, but what for? Edie, now Mike and I heard (1st time watcher) Orson soon, too. What is the point of doing so, does anybody know?

Just rewatching series 8, episode 8 and I do feel sorry for Lynette when she thinks Tom sent her flowers and she gets her hopes up about getting back together, when he'd just forgotten to cancel the standing order at the florist. Of course, her response to this is ridiculous but it seemed like Tom didn't even remember their anniversary at all?

Overall I really don't like how desperate Lynette is to get Tom back and think they'd be better off apart but this moment was really quite sad and very well acted by Felicity.

they all went their separate ways and said there was a chance he’ll never see them again.

Hello everyone. It is my second time watching desperate housewives and I want to preface this by saying Lynette Scavo (and Susan Mayer) are the worst housewives on the show.

I genuinely despise Lynette because of how selfish and self centered she really is but everyone talks about how horrible Tom Scavo is because he’s just a little more selfish and self centered than her.

In season 5 episode 14, Bree lends/loans/invests $20,000 to Lynette and around the end Bree tells her off. Lynette blames her failure on luck and Bree counters by saying we create our own luck.

I think Lynette is an idiot, and it felt really good to see Bree call her out on how she cuts corners but I wish she said worse.

Anyways. Thoughts? Opinions?

Watching Remember part 1, so this is suppose to go back 10-14 years from 2006 or so. Yet nothing any of the girls of the families are wearing says 90’s. Lol. Surely the costume dept could’ve did better.

I truly cannot stand Lynette this season. I watched DH back when it aired and have done multiple rewatches. I’m currently on “something’s coming” episode. My heart breaks for Ida and Karen. Lynette has the audacity to invite her and the family over during the tornado, then releases Toby… all for Ida to sacrifice herself for the Scavos. It makes me terribly sad. The possum situation already left a bad taste in my mouth. I guess my detest wasn’t as bad when it aired because episodes were weeks apart! lol. I get the writing. She’s a bit of a complex character; but I had to voice it. Justice for Ida 💔

She was so real for taking the stand and confessing for the girls🥺

>!His funeral made me cry like a baby :(!<

Rewatching and I got to the episode where Susan is trying to get into that bald guy’s painting class and he’s being a dismissive asshole talking about how she had no depth or trauma. Meanwhile Susan’s traumas include but are not limited too:
Her friend killing herself
Her husband’s son pulling a gun on her
Trying to negotiate her life away when her daughter is held hostage by a shooter
Finding out her biological father was alive and was a piece of shit that tried to sleep with her
Her accidentally killing a mother and child in a car wreck
Her husband pushed her down the stairs while withdrawing from a pill addiction
A mentally ill killer chasing her through the woods to kill her son
The father of her child dying violently and suddenly
Katherine stabbing herself to get Mike arrested
Her kidneys being stomped on in a riot

Just saying Susan is not great with confrontation but she really should’ve told that guy off

No, I’m not even through season one, yet. Yes, I understand the depth of his betrayal.
But when he slammed Andrew into that wall 😮‍💨
The way he looks at Bree…
In fact, they may even be my favourite couple.

That’s all. Thanks 🫡

I have only made it to season 5. But does it ever come back up that Andrew is responsible for killing Carlos mom??? Or does gabby ever find out!
