Desperate Housewives really had me hooked this week. There were so many answers given to the mysteries this week that if someone missed it, they missed a whole lot.
I got a little joy in seeing that I was right about Gloria Hodge killing Monique, only because I called it beforehand. Let me tell you, I now understand why Orson put Gloria in a home. She is one twisted mother. I mean, she even made it look like her husband committed suicide (although I don't think I quite caught why she did that). I couldn't believe how evil she actually was. She reminds me a lot of Vanessa on All My Children. She was the same type of mother.
I hate to say this, but I'm kind of happy that Alma is dead. Although, if she did become pregnant, that would be sad. But, really, she was dead weight on the show anyway. (She was more interesting than Nora, though.)
Zach is still too creepy. I could feel Gabby's mortification when he stood up to propose to her. I like that she told him off, though. I actually wouldn't be terribly upset if we never saw him again. Or if we do, have him get a haircut.
I love how protective Andrew is of Bree. I like him much better now that he's not a psycho, unlike his sister.
I have this feeling that Mike is going to be fighting for Susan now that Ian has proposed. Just the look on his face gave me the idea that he wants her back, now that he remembers his past.
I'm also feeling like Gabby and Carlos make reconcile. I would rather see them remain friends, though. They seemed to be a bit toxic as a couple. I like their chemistry as friends much more. I also think that Gabby should be alone for a while to find out who she is as a woman. She definitely shouldn't be so dependent on a man to give her company.
I'm glad that Tom and Lynette worked out the problem with the chairs and they've completely made up. They make a great couple.
I'm very curious as to what the rest of the season is going to bring. Now that the main mystery is resolved, I don't know where they're going to go. Clearly, Susan and Ian are going to be thrust into the forefront as they prepare for their wedding, but I'm really not sure what else is going to carry story for the rest of the season. I guess I'll just have to wait to find out.
As far as Brothers & Sisters goes, this episode didn't keep me as glued to the TV as other episodes have.
The one thing I will say about it is that they did a much better job of incorporating most of the cast into the episode, with the exception of Justin, whom I'd like to see more of personally.
It just didn't feel like a lot of the stories progressed much in this episode. The Kevin/Chad story really didn't move at all, except for Kevin having doubts about Chad, which isn't anything new.
The Senator/Kitty romance really hasn't progressed either, except for the poll, which seemed a bit contrived.
Joe and Sarah seem to be heading toward a divorce. That's sad, but in this episode, I really didn't sense much chemistry between them. I guess that's what was supposed to be conveyed, but it seems like the whole falling apart came very quickly. I will admit, though, that casing Joel Grey as the therapist was brilliant.
Tom and Julia having twins was surprising, but nothing much happened after that. I do like, though, that Tom is trying to make a mark in the world that has nothing to do with his father. It's very brave of him to do that, especially working with Holly, who I still believe has some sort of hidden agenda.
Speaking of Holly, we finally got to meet Rebecca. I'll agree with Michael Ausiello that Emily Van Camp is a great addition to the cast. I didn't watch Everwood religiously (but I have caught up with it on ABC Family before they took it off again), but that cast was great, so I'm very intruiged to see what Emily will bring to this show. It would be interesting to bring Treat Williams's character back to this show and have he and Rebecca interact, even if just for a few seconds.
Anyway, I don't think this was the greatest episode of Brothers & Sisters ever, but it wasn't horrible either. I'm definitely going to keep watching, but I hope there is more progress next week.
