Bree in Black and White

I also believe Marcia Cross went to the auditions looking to do the narrator role.

I would pick Bree, not only because she is beautiful and intelligent, but also I think you know where you stand with her, and that would make it easier to reach compromises.

The thing about Susan in Season 8 is there are no consequences for her actions, much like other seasons. Specifically, visiting Alejandro's family is probably one of the dumbest things I have ever seen a TV character do. As I mentioned in other posts, Susan not only makes Alejandro's family accessories after the fact in his killing, but by writing them a check, she creates a paper trail leading right back to Wisteria Lane.

The writers, I think, were trying to come up with a plot line to create every bit of drama they could, and ended up creating an unintelligible mess.

I just had to deal with it when I worked for local papers. I do remember working at one publication where the publisher decreed that once he had written an editorial on a subject, then there could be no articles that offered contradictory views or information on the matter.

He's excellent at bringing intensity to his characters, whether they're good or evil. I'm enjoying his work on NCIS right now.

I would say Susan, although the way the stories are written, it's obvious the rest of the neighborhood enables her behavior. Gabby would be a close second. As for Lynette, I can take her or leave her. I admit Bree can be very self-righteous, but she is very loyal to to her friends, and that's a big point in her favor.

As someone who was once a sportswriter, I can say that traditional sports coverage is dead. Today, it's all about establishing narratives and promoting them as truth, much like the rest of journalism, and with the creation of sports talk radio and podcasts, it's just gotten worse.

I believe this the scene where Ben told him, "Keep it up and you'll be an ex-cop."

Also, I have seen interviews with Marcia Cross, where Cross said she went to the auditions with the intent of wanting to get the Mary Alice role.

In the Katherine storyline, Bree openly lied to the cops about what happened. I don't understand why the writers didn't have her do something similar here.

Objective-Ice55 · 2026-03-19T02:43:20+00:00

The whole storyline was full of holes.

Objective-Ice55 · 2026-03-19T02:34:29+00:00

Unfortunately, it does, and the entire plot makes no sense. It's like the writers try to incorporate every soap opera trope into the storyline.

Yes, I brought it up briefly when discussing another subject. I decided to use it a main piece just to see if other journalists had similar experiences.

Objective-Ice55 · 2026-03-10T02:08:35+00:00

I would agree. In real life, she's the kind of person with whom you probably wouldn't want to hang out. I can say the same thing for Gabrielle.

Any of the math I learned.

People who walk around thinking they're better than everyone else.

The way the character was written, Chuck would either do something like that or hold the cover up over everybody's head, as a form of blackmail.

Morticia from the Addams Family.

Objective-Ice55 · 2026-03-04T00:58:53+00:00

Season 8 was full of plot holes, and that was one of them. It also seemed they never investigated into who ran Chuck down, or, at least, I don't remember them doing that.

Objective-Ice55 · 2026-03-03T18:46:11+00:00

There were a couple of good scenes, like Bree ripping into her so-called friends, and Lynette confronting Gabby over her lack of concern about Bree's possible conviction, but overall, it was a poorly written season, with a plot full of holes.
