Why I Hated the DH Season Finale

I was completely 180 degrees from even slightly liking the season finale last night.

Seriously, have they run out good ideas? I will itemize my reasons why:

  • The Dave Dash Williams story is played out. He wants to kill Mike. He wants to kill Katherine. He wants to kill Mrs. McCluskey. He wants to kill Susan. He wants to kill MJ. He kills his doctor and now he can't get pills. We feel bad for him bc he lost his wife and kid? Did he love Edie? Do we feel bad bc he lost two wives? Are we glad that he and his dead family are reunited in flashback hell? And if so, doesn't that mean that Edie's entire relationship with Dave was a wash, and so we don't feel bad for her? In theory, it was a good idea, but horribly done.

  • Lynette Scavo!!! Have you learned nothing? All this scheming and manipulating and shooting from the hip! I was screaming at the TV from the moment she hears the answering machine message bc you can hear her mind going loud and clear, "I will screw over Tom's chance at happiness yet again!" For a SPLIT SECOND I felt bad for her when I thought her cancer was back, but then I thought... after EVERYTHING this woman has been through, could she not have learned to have any respect for her husband?! And pregnant AGAIN?! I don't think I can take any more of Lynette being the tired unhappy housewife. BOOOO!!!!

  • Susan... oh please David Dash, take Susan Meyer with you. She doesn't deserve Mike. She's blown her chances many times and has broken too many hearts and hurt too many people's feelings with her wishy-washyness and bad timing. LET MIKE GO! Let him be happy for godssakes! Trust me, Katherine will not seem as nutty and annoying when you take Susan out of the equation. Just make her the new narrator already.

  • The moment Carlos walked in after getting played by his Lolita-niece I was like, ugh, what is this?! A horrible sitcom from the 80's? Of course, Gabby is gonna look like the over-reacting, jealous woman. I was again screaming at the TV: "We hated this story line when it was Tom getting played by his evil daughter, and Lynette looking crazy!!! Don't do this to the Solis family! They've got their own problems.... like two little girls with an unusually high BMI!!!"

  • Orson. Ugh. I have no energy left to touch this dumb storyline.



There was only one piece of redemption for the entire two hours of crap was BREE & CARL. OK, so I hate how everyone on this block has recycled other people's husbands, but I actually like this oil & water combo. It should be interesting to see Bree struggle with her attraction for the bad boy.

That might keep me amused for at least half a season.


If they had folded laundry for the entire two hours, I would've thought it was much more entertaining.

Never ever did I think I'd say this, but anybody up to see some Betty Applewhite and the creepy guy across the street again?

  3. I do not think Mike marries Susan! That would be way to obvious! I think it is Catherine under that veil! I think Mike realizes he really loves Catherine, not Susan!
    I actually loved the season finale, because it tied up loose ends. Only one true cliff hanger!

  4. Oh no! If Jack and Crissie think they're going to fool Mr. Roper, they'd better not let Larry in on their secret! You know how he is once he has a few too many watered-down drinks down at the Regal Beagle ... he and Janet get all touchie-feelie and there's no telling what he'll blurt out!
