Still Desperate?


Desperate Housewives, being one of the most talked-about shows on television, has won the praise from viewers contributed from a wide span of generations, for its juicy treats. From the scandalous promos, to the multiple nominations and a win in the Emmys, we knew Desperate Housewives has achieved its title. Since the one day I downloaded and watched the episodes from the previous season, I got hooked. I became a fan. And when it comes to being a fan, you tend to expect the best. However, to be honest, Season Two of Desperate Housewives kicked off with a bland start. Last season, the secret of Mary Alice Young was revealed and we were told that the relationship between Mike and Zach were more than being neighbours. The cliffhanger continued with Mike walking into his house only to find Susan being held captive by Zach, who was holding a gun. But everything happened so quickly. The confrontation was short, everyone was running for the gun, which eventually landed in Susan's hands and all of a sudden, Zach was broken free and he was gone. Plus, Susan had NOT AT ALL, fell on her lips... so it's weird she ended up with a busted lip. I was quite amazed how Edie's house seemed to grow that fast. I thought it was still on sticks and a few bricks during the last few episodes in Season One, but in this premiere, the house looked like it went through some magical shift...there was even a roof already. Something about the timing isn't right. What I liked about the premiere were scenes of Lynette and Bree. Lynette was so funny. The job interview was the best. Multi-tasker. Haha.
For a moment, I thought Bree was gone. Well, that's just for a little while. She was back when she got all furious with Rex's mother over the orange tie. What shocked me the most was when Bree stopped the people from closing the coffin, paraded down the aisle, demanded Tom's tie, headed back to the coffin, and LIFTED Rex out of the coffin, so that she could free him from the disgustingly orange tie, put on the new tie for him, whisper a "You look MAGNIFICENT" to her late husband, before storming out of the church. It was a mixture of sadness, bewilderment, and joke. I kept rewinding that particular scene because I really couldn't imagine someone doing that for real. It's sad that Bree got so little console from the other ladies. Unlike that of Mary Alice Young, where everyone in the neighbourhood was talking about her suicide.
Maybe it's true, people don't really care what happen behind closed doors.
