Thanks for the heads up, Megan. It's all good, though, since holidays are coming and I'm sure ABC would like to run some family-friendly programming.

I think we've been spoiled by this season in general. It's almost as good as the first season.

I thought it might be time to start this discussion back up since we're 2 episodes into the new year.

First of all, I feel bad for Julie. I wonder how these events will have an effect on her personality. I honestly hope she kicks Austin's ass.

That being said, I'm not liking Danielle. But then again, I wonder if her not having luck w/ her past relationships has turned her into her current persona. I wouldn't be surprised if she ended up getting pregnant, but that might be a little too "obvious" to put in the storyline.

I'm creeped out by Zach Young returning. The hair, the personality... .

And as far as this season's mystery, I wouldn't be surprised if Alma had to do something w/ Monique's murder. But I guess we'll figure out how involved she really was later on this season.

I do feel bad for Julie, but I don't think it will affect her personality too much.

Zach Young's hair is ridiculous! He looks like a girl. I thought Gabby's "mystery man" was going to be John Rowland, but I'm glad it's not, that would have just been going around and around in a big overplayed circle.

I feel really bad for Bree. She hasn't had one normal year since the show started. I'm hoping that Orson's character will be gone by the end of the season, but that may be wishful thinking.

Mike really needs to get his memory back, but it doesn't appear that it's happening this season. I loved that Paul Young is messing with Mike, though.

Edie seemed a little more likeable in last night's episode. I enjoyed that. Also, I'm enjoying Tom & Lynette's story so far: the restaraunt, Tom's daughter that hates Lynette; it's good stuff.

I hadn't thought about Alma having something to do with Monique's murder, but you're probably right, Megan. I'm wondering how Alma and Orson's mother are going to "exit" the show...time will tell.

This was a good episode. Bree should have totally called the cops on Alma & Orson's mom. Rape is serious business.

I LOVE the way Tom & Lynette's story is progressing. Kayla is turning into quite the beeotch.

It's good to see Zach is still the creepy kid we all know and fear.

I'm so glad Mike is out of jail. Now Ian needs to get out of the picture.

Zach is quite the little psycho. I find myself already wanting him out of the storyline.

It's good that Mike's out of jail, but honestly, I find him quite boring. I really don't want him back together w/ Susan. I actually like Ian, so I want that relationship to work out.

As far as the show schedule goes, we have a little break. The next new episode is scheduled for 2/11.

I just watched the last two episodes (I had taped them). I think this season is better than last season. Ian bugs me for some reason - I want Susan to get together again with Mike.

Me I rather have Susan back together with Mike too, they were such a cute couple and we all know she still loves him!!

I feel so sorry for Zack, he might be a lil psycho but everytime I see his face I just feel so sorry for him. And his father is the real psycho by the way..

Oh and Im wondering, what season are you watching? Over here we are watching season 2, I guess you are already at season 3???
If so then unfortunatly I got to stay out of this topic so I can see it for myself first without knowing whats goin to happen next.

In the US we're on Season 3. I think we're pretty much halfway through the season already.

Oh ok, thanks for the info Megan
Now I got to try not to read everything in here..

I think now's a good time to discuss last night's episode & next week's preview.

It's good that Mike's remembering things, but I thought it was stupid how he went after Orson. He just got out of jail & his actions last night could possibly earn him a trip to jail for assault (or possibly more). He could've just reported what he remembered about Monique's death & have the blame on him removed in a calm manner.

It's good to see that Susan finally has some emotional stability in her life w/ Ian. I hope Mike doesn't cause any drama to mess that up.

Next week's episode looks very interesting. Who do you think will end up being the dead person? I actually haven't heard any spoilers about this, but I have an idea as to who it could be.

Here's some interesting news I found out that I thought I'd share. Becky, I know you're gonna be happy to hear this.

On the episode that airs on 3/4, Rex will be the guest narrator.

YAY! I Rex!

I'm quite curious to see if Orson dies..and I really want to know who's in the bloody bathtub!!

Here's some info from another website that I visit from time to time. Apparently after this season we have 4 more years of this show.

"2/21 - Desperate Housewives creator Marc Cherry has inked a four year, eight-figure pact with ABC Television Studio, Variety reports. The agreement keeps Cherry lording over Wisteria Lane through May 2011, at which time he anticipates wrapping up the story of Bree, Lynette et al. (ABC has also quietly negotiated deals with key cast members through '11.) "After seven seasons, it will be a good time to call it quits," Cherry tells the trade mag. "I don't want anyone else to run the show, and I don't want us to fade away." Source: TV Guide Online

I think it's time to revive this thread since there was a new episode last night. There's only 8 episodes left to go for this season, so it'll be interesting to see what happens. I'm quite surprised the whole Gloria & Alma thing got resolved so quickly, although I figured it would be Alma who died. She became "the crazy woman in the attic", so it was just a matter of time. So I guess the next major storyline of the season will be planning Ian & Susan's wedding.

As far as last night's episode, Danielle's pregnancy was predictable. I saw that coming as soon as they showed the 1st scene of her hooking up w/ Austin.

Lastly, I think Carlos deserves a good woman. Not someone as selfish as Gabrielle & not someone as skanky as the blonde girl they showed him with last night. He needs someone a little bit more nurturing.

I could not agree more, Megan. about Alma becoming the crazy woman in the attic.
Although I will say that it's a matter of time before Gabby and Carlos get back together. It just seems that that's what the writers are planning. I may be completely wrong, though. In any case, Carlos is a great character and I'd love to see him happy.

I'm waiting for Danielle to rebel against Bree and Orson's plan and demand that she have the baby and keep it.

It was very refreshing to have Rex as the narrator, and that the episode was more or less devoted to the men of Wisteria Lane.

Rats - I forgot to watch it this past Sunday! I guess I assumed it was a rerun. Maybe abc.com has it available for viewing (although my monitor isn't all that great).

I love this show!

Great episode this week. I really want Carlos and Gabby to get back together - I just think they're perfect for each other.

I want Susan back with Mike. Ian kind of gives me the creeps. I was sad that Mike lost the poker game, and now he can't tell Susan how he feels

Lynette and Tom are such a cute couple!

OhNo, I don't like Ian either. I think Susan and Mike should get back together.

I think my problem with Susan and Mike is how they got together in the first place.

Do you mean Susan and Ian?
