So these are my quick thoughts on the latest episode of “Housewives,” which is the last new one until next year.
I hated that Paul tricked Bob and Lee into selling their house to him. Lee was already in hot water with the neighbors for being Paul’s real estate agent as is. I don’t want Bob and Lee to move!
Juanita finally learned the truth about Grace and tried to run away, but caught in a riot that was going on. She hid in Bob and Lee’s car until her mom came to rescue her, and Lynette came to rescue Bob and Lee. It was good to see fences somewhat mended, but you know Juanita is going to be a problem when the show comes back. She’ll have a lot of rage in her I bet!
Susan suggested to Renee and Tom that Renee move away, given her feelings for Tom. She’s of course not going to. I hate this storyline. HATE it. I don’t like that Tom has all these past secrets. He clearly is not the perfect husband that Lynette has felt she didn’t deserve all these years. Maybe that is exactly why they are doing this?
Bree and Keith split up when she wasn’t ready to marry him. That’s when creepy dad moved in on Bree. His plan backfired though and only served to bring Keith to her defense in the end.
Paul was set to be awarded by the Mayor for his halfway house, but Lynette staged a protest and had friends from the block over volunteer to help them out. The friends however planned a riot and trashed the neighborhood and the halfway house. I couldn’t help but think the guy who was the leader was a plant and friend of Paul’s. It all worked out in his favor way too easily.
The show ended with what I’ve been expecting to happen for weeks. Someone shot Paul Young! Now we have a new mystery. I’m sure he won’t die, but I don’t think he knows who shot him either. This would be a great way to bring back Zach and have him be the shooter though.
Info : Please, resolve the addition below before post any new comment...
Dustin : I'm gunna finally watch season 1 and 2 of scandal over the summer, but I'm afraid to get drawn into another Shonda project lol
Guest_4700 : I agree with Grey's. Saw that ending coming about 1/2way through. This seems to be the season for lackluster finales. But SO GLAD to see Rookie Blue starts next week!!!
Guest_3912 : This is gonna sound bad, but I really wasn't shocked by the way they ended it...I hope they really didn't just kill him off
Dustin : Well that grey's finale sucked! Jeeze!
Dustin : I will be getting my OUAT thoughts up soon, want to rewatch it again. I am grading all week, so I'm doing a lot of multitasking. Also the new schedules for Fall are coming out, will post them soon. I think I'm gunna start moving more toward cable shows. I already know the shows I wanna see on Networks won't last lol
Dustin : Yeah I thought that at first too, but then I think he was talking about the shadow figure?
Guest_3215 : They said Peter Pan at the end of the finale. The blonde "lost one" mentioned it but he made it seem like he was Pan?
Dustin : Will get them up tomorrow. Thinking Neil went to Wonderland, good way to introduce that spinoff. interesting way they went around the Peter Pan copyright. I don't think they said his name? Hate this organization of Tamara and Greg's, too much like Lost. Doubt that was greg's dad he dug up, a regina trick.
Guest_4957 : Dang it OUAT! Curious to hear your thoughts about tonight's show!
Dustin : No I don't think so either.
DNA : I think Smash won't be back
Dustin : NBC renews Parenthood! So happy!
Dustin : I had noticed he had lost a lot of weight recently. I thought it was him just getting into shape. Now I guess not.
Dustin : Yeah Very sad.
Guest_1711 : Did you see that Cory Monteith (Finn) entered rehab again? They will be finishing the season without him.
Dustin : Yeah it's likely not going to get another season. The ratings have been pretty bad. I'm sad because just now the show has finally gotten good again!
Guest_3085 : Apparently NBC wants to kill Smash. What else explains the move to Saturdays???
Dustin : i have 90 emails in a folder, most are true blood news i just need to compile into one big post lol
Dustin : Woo hoo I'll have to go look. I know they just revealed the date the other day
DNA : True Blood Season 6 promo is out!
Dustin : Yeah I got to write up the second show still. Behind. Just watched Dallas last night, still have to see if I can watch Revolution again lol
Sean : I was just about to ask you to start reviewing Bates. It is so good and creepy. After watching the second show I see a lot of Twin Peaks in it.
Dustin : yeah i just saw that today. 3 weeks of behind the scenes episodes. Lordy!
Guest_1603 : Actually OUAT is in 4 weeks. In 3 weeks is a behind the scenes episode.
Dustin : 3 weeeks till the next OUAT! Ahhhhhh!
Dustin : Will try and get some posts out tonight and tomorrow Glee, Smash and Grey's
Dustin : Yeah I'm sadly growing bored with smash. You can see Ivy will go back, and this new musical of Karen's is boring
Guest_3355 : On one hand I hate what Derrick is doing but on the other hand, I don't see Karen's relationship with the broody, temper tantrum, man whore going well so I'm all for it. When will this story line be over???
Dustin : Really enjoyed Bates! Will do a write up today
Dustin : Gunna watch Bates soon.
CGinCA : Yeah. I so agree Monday nights are overloaded. Thankfully a lot of the shows I like are not on main network only show once mentality. So can grab themat later times. LOl
Dustin : I'm gunna set my tivo for it as well. There is already TOO much on Monday nights! Can't we find other nights of the week for TV
CGinCA : I am Tivo-ing it. Wondering why there seems to be two episodes back to back. One for 55 minutes and the other for 66 minutes I think....
Dustin : I plan to!
CGinCA : Is anyone going to give Bates Motel a try
