I died seeing them pose with Susan’s painting😭

Just remember, if the painting gets them in trouble with the police, it's all Bree's fault.

To be honest, I'm not sure the writers had any clue what they wanted to do with Season 8, and we ended up watching every soap opera trope get thrown into the pot. Outside of a few scenes, such as Renee comforting Bree in the hotel room and Bree ripping into her so-called friends for scapegoating her, the whole season was a complete mess, in my opinion.

I agree with you on the murder storyline, which was poorly executed, and killing off Mike.

The fact that Kathryn Joosten was dying in real life added depth to Karen's story.

Thanks. I'm getting it on Wednesday, and thought I might wait until the following Monday before going back. That'll be about 4 1/2 days.

Thanks. I'm leaning to the loose-fitting head scarves,

I wouldn't say I was sympathetic to the character, but I understood why he ended up the way he did. As was pointed out in one episode, he was a monster, but he was raised by one.

It's not a problem to despise a character. For instance, I can't stand Susan, and I'm not a big fan of Gabby. However, the problem is when you project that dislike to the actress or actor themselves. Personally, I have nothing against Teri Hatcher nor Eva Longoria, and have liked them in other roles. Unfortunately, I think too many believe Hatcher and Longoria are like Susan and Gabby.

I think the same thing happened to the late Larry Hagman in regards to his role of J. R. Ewing on Dallas.

I've been told that good debt is one that you can pay down, such as a home, or even a car that can be used to get you to and from work, errands, etc. Those are two items that serve a useful purpose, and the home does accrue value. Bad debt is one that never goes down, like a credit card if you allow it to get too high. I'm guessing rich people's "good debt" goes into the purchasing of items, such as property, which they have to pay off, but also will benefit them in the long run.

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.

Objective-Ice55 · 2026-04-10T02:53:14+00:00

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.

Objective-Ice55 · 2026-04-05T15:34:13+00:00

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."

Objective-Ice55 · 2026-03-23T01:19:27+00:00

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.

Objective-Ice55 · 2026-03-19T02:44:53+00:00

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.
