Two Sunday Night shows, two huge characters gone on the same night. How much more can I take?
On “Desperate Housewives” what I feared was coming came to pass … The loan shark gunned down Mike in the final moments of the episode. So unfair! After so many seasons of Mike and Susan fans being given the shaft, the show gives us the ultimate one. Boooo!
On “Army Wives” we had to say goodbye to Pamela. After her house was destroyed in the hurricane, she chose to move to California to join Chase. She wanted to let the kids finish the school year before they all moved out, but it wasn’t meant to be. Pamela has always been my favorite on this show, so I am at a loss.
So this past Sunday on “Desperate Housewives,” Roy finally learned the truth about Karen’s terminal cancer. It sure seems as if Karen is going to be the character to kick the bucket, doesn’t it? I don’t know, I always think the obvious choice never should be the obvious choice. Then again, time and time again with this show, that’s exactly what happens.
Both Mike and Renee got on Ben’s loan shark’s bad side. Killing off Renee would not really be shocking or devastating, Mike on the other hand . . . I’ve been worried for awhile now that it could be Mike they kill off. That would just be cruel!
Susan and Lynette battled it out over their grand baby. Susan came to Porter’s aid, while Lynette wanted him to learn to stand on his own if he planned to raise the kid.
Tom (and Jane) took all the kids off Lynette’s hands so she could have some time to herself. Tom was very insistant that they even take the baby . . . Jane hadn’t taken care of one in years. This . . . cannot . . . be . . . good. I swear if Tom has gotten her pregnant I will scream!
Bree finally caught onto Orson the psychopath and dumped his ass. Unfortunately he later dumped an envelope (of probable evidence) into a mailbox. Looks like more trouble is about to come for the girls!
A few more mid-March spoilers . . . in this group . . .
On “Body of Proof,” it’s another murder case, but fortunately Jamie Bamber is on as Megan’s new love interest Aidan. These two are hot!
On “The River,” the gang finds another clue that Emmett is alive, while they are stalked by cannibals.
On “Grey’s Anatomy,” Meredith returns to working with Derek, and Jackson’s mom returns! Debbie Allen guests.
On “Private Practice,” Erica begins to go downhill, while Amelia has to decide the fate of her unborn baby (uh oh, drug baby?).
On “Once Upon a Time,” Emma is forced to arrest Mary Margaret for Katherine’s murder (do they even have a body?). (Psssst! Alice in Wonderland will be coming up soon as Sebastian Stan has been revealed to be the Mad Hatter).
On “Desperate Housewives, it’s the funeral for the dead character. Rex Van De Camp and Mama Solis make an appearance!
On “GCB,” a relationship seminar causes girl (and boy?) drama.
There seems to be a whole lot of re-runs going on in early March! Here are some of the new episodes being aired . . .
On “The River,” the crew is getting closer to Emmett as they discover his camera bag!
On “Once Upon A Time,” Emma hired Ruby/Red to be her assistant. We also learn Red’s back story in Fairytale land.
On “Desperate Housewives,” Mrs. McKluskey asks Bree to help her end her life. Oh my!
On “GCB” the second episode has a lot of scheming and name calling going on.
So I didn’t write a thoughts update about last week’s “Desperate Housewives,” in part because the episode was soooooo boring and I didn’t have much to say about Lynette’s sexy time with her new guy. This week’s episode was much more enjoyable . . . though infuriating at the same time.
We’ve basically been told next month that a major character will die, well before the season finale in May (though there are only 7 new episodes left before the two hour finale . . . so I guess that means 9 episodes left in reality.) This episode heavily hinted that it could be Karen, who is fighting cancer. She’s doing so in secret, not having told the other women and also having kicked Roy out so he doesn’t figure out what is going on. The actress in real life has been going through her own cancer fight, so honestly I think it would be really sick and depraved to kill her TV character off with the disease. Would Marc Cherry be so cold?
I started getting the feeling in this episode that they might actually kill of Mike. He’s been between a rock and a hard place all season with his work for Ben. I could see him ending up getting killed off . . . which would suck!
Renee has also seemingly put herself in harms way. After getting roughed up by the loan sharks, Ben ended up in the hospital. Renee decided to pay them off to save him, even if he was an ass to her. He told her not to, it was his problem. He wanted to solve it, then give her a proper proposal. But even though they were paid off, the loan sharks still don’t seem satisfied and gave Renee veiled threats . . . . Could Renee find herself dead soon? While she’s a major character, she’s not one many have become attached to as she’s so new, so she is very expendable.
The other major story dealt with Orson “rescuing” Bree and helping her out. He rode in like a shining knight, called by the girls mind you, and then proceeded to LIE to Bree! She wanted to reach out to the girls, but he lied and claimed they were glad to be rid of her. Then in the final moments we learned what some had suspected all along . . . Orson has been behind a lot of misdoings! He has been spying on Bree for months, and he was behind all the notes in her mailbox. He pushed her over the edge with the hopes of being her hero . . . now he has her secluded in some kind of “Misery” setting out in Maine (or where he wants them to move to). Oh lord, I hope Bree wakes up and fast!
ACK! POST NOTE: I forgot the entire storyline with Susan, Julie and the baby! Susan learned that Lynette’s son Porter was the father. Porter wanted to step up and raise the kid, Julie wanted to put it up for adoption. Knowing her son, Lynette was on Julie’s side, while Susan was on Porter’s side. For once I actually found myself on Team Susan! I know, shocking. She usually does NOTHING right on this show, just causes more problems. Maybe that is what she’s doing, and I did feel for Julie as she told her mother “she took this choice from her . . . ” In other words Susan’s meddling has made it more difficult for her to give the baby up and not have to see it again. I still oddly find myself on Team Susan . . .

Some previews before the full releases . . . .
On “Grey’s” Adele’s Alzheimer’s is getting worse. Are we looking at another big death coming soon? I’m thinking so.

On “Desperate Housewive,” the father of Julie’s kid is revealed, and it’s someone close to home!
“GCB” premiers on March 4th!
A bunch of spoilers for Mid-February here . . . of note there are two weeks of “Private Practice” as the spoiler release went out a bit later for it than the “Grey’s” episode for the same date. Previews for this bunch include . . . .
On “Private Practice,” Sam reconnects with his estranged sister.
On “Castle,” the first of a two-parter guest staring the one and only Jennifer Beals and “Drop Dead Diva’s” Jason Stamberg, both who play agents that work with Castle and Becket on an international conspiracy case.
On “The River,” the second episode finds the family/boat crew face to face with “guardians of the jungle.”
On “Body of Proof,” a body is found dead in a freezer of an Italian restaurant . . . I swear I watched this already? Or did “Castle” do a similar story?
On “Revenge,” it looks like we are finally nearing the present, where Daniel gets his at the engagement party?
On “Grey’s” and “Private Practice,” a two part cross-over as they turn to Derek to help Mason’s mom Erica with her brain tumor.
On “Desperate Housewives,” if you suspected Orson is the person who killed Alejandro . . . you may be right as he is back!
Desperate Housewives: Don’t Call My Name, Alejandrooooooo . . . Just call me Ramonnnnnnnn
Posted by Dustin on 01.25.2012 at 10:31 pm
So the latest episode of “Housewives” had Susan and Gabby scrambling to clean up Susan’s mess with Alejandro’s latest wife, who came to town thinking Susan had stolen her man. This all happened as Gabby was having the room Alejandro was killed in redone before Carlos came home, so he wasn’t further reminded of what happened. The blood stain on the floor and carpet she claimed was a wine stain.
Alejandro/Ramon’s wife showed up and met with Gabby, when Gabby decided it was time to tell the truth after Susan let her know another step-daughter had been molested. Gabby never said she killed Alejandro, but did point out his name was not Ramon, that he had a family before his new one, and disappeared on them . . . She said Alejandro returned to find her when she revisited her old home town and said some not nice things about him that got him angry. She told the new wife he was a child molester, which at first she wouldn’t believe . . . until her own daughter claimed it was true. All this coupled with the “Red Wine Stain,” well the new wife seemed to fill in the pieces. It seems like she’s keeping the secret . . . but who knows. I’m sure something will come out eventually and get the girls in hot water again. Ben’s construction site is in big trouble, I’m sure that cement foundation Alejandro is hidden in will break open at any moment! Knowing this show, it will crack when a tornado hits, and crashes a plane into it! Have they done an earthquake yet? That could be an option too!
Lynette attempted to move on by dating Renee’s hairdresser. Of course it was a huge disaster of a first date, because she did what she does best . . . critique and micro-manage. Apparently that’s what this guys ex-wife did, and it ended their marriage. Oops! But there must be something there, as it seems they give a second date a try. Frankly, I’m not sure I want to watch another date!
Bree, however, was a very very very fun date! Bree continued her drinking binge, along with her string of men. Her Reverend became concerned with her, even suggesting . . . no telling her that she wouldn’t be running the bake sale this year as it was for her own good. Bree didn’t like that, showed up, and got into a huge fight with a woman who happened to be married to one of her one-night-stands. Bree decided she liked being bad, the town slut, and walked out of the bake sale with her head held high. Honestly, I loved it! It was shades of Kimberly from “Melrose Place!”
Finally Ben proposed to Renee, who accepted. However his conscious got the best of him and he confessed while he loved her, he proposed because he was having money problems and she had money. Renee was devastated and ended things, unsure if Ben ever really loved her. Poor Renee! Why do I feel like Renee might end up with Tom in the end?
Some February 2012 ABC Spoilers, Including “The River”
Posted by Dustin on 01.24.2012 at 8:25 pm
Some upcoming ABC Spoiler Releases for their shows, including the new show “The River.” I definitely plan to give this one a try. I also STILL have to catch up with “Revenge.” I keep forgetting to watch that one.
These spoilers are mainly for the second week of February. Many shows are on a short hiatus from now until then. In this edition . . .
On “Castle,” Castle and Beckett go back in time with an old school hollywood-like mystery.
On “Revenge,” William Devane guests as Conrad’s father, who comes to town as Daniel and Emily’s engagement party nears . . .
On “Grey’s Anatomy,” It’s Valentine’s Day and the doctors are all trying to plan the perfect romantic evening with their partners.
On “Housewives,” Julie returns, very pregnant; and Lynette has her first time with a man since her break-up with Tom.
Read on for the full spoilers . . . as well as info on “The River” and its premier.
Info : Please, resolve the addition below before post any new comment...
Dustin : I agree, they are gonna have to kill CJ for it to be a shock, but I don't think they will
Guest_3468 : Found army wives ending really blah, been done too many times by them especially with that character
Dustin : About to sit down and watch the Army Wives! They return June 24th, long ways away
Dustin : Gunna write a post this weekend about which shows I'm looking forward to this fall! I'll try and add in all the promo videos for each as well.
Guest_3468 : This just might put me off the show for good, can't believe it was her, Shonda sucks, crappy addison sam obsession and now this
Dustin : I have some major issues with this one, as . . . . well I'll save it for after the show with my write up
Jay : So sad!
Dustin : Well this sucks!
Dustin : No it's been said its a real and permanent death, so I don't think it's one of the people whose contracts were up in the air. I heard they all would be in positions to stay or leave by the end of the season and that's how they'd be written out if they left
Guest_4669 : I heard that Shonda wrote the finale before contracts were resigned, so I'm not sure if there will be a clear answer tonight as to who dies. I think that there will be a lot of potential victims. I know this sounds morose, but I'd like to see someone come out of the accident with long lasting injuries. With the exception of PTSD (and other mental problems) it seems like people on this show bounce back from injuries too quick.
Guest_3699 : After watching the 6 min preview I'm wondering if they aren't going to do someone stupid like the captain of the plane.
Dustin : I hate that they failed April too. So lame!
Guest_4669 : I don't want Adele to die, but I think that will be too easy. I'm still angry over April failing, but will wait to comment on your thoughts to voice that opinion. (This is the only GA board I comment on so I have been holding onto these thoughts for a few weeks ha ha.)
Dustin : Though I also think there is a possibily the plane crash is a fake out, and it's still Adele who dies
Dustin : I think Arizona or Mark is gunna kick the bucket. I am thinking it will be Arizona, as then who will Lexie have?
Guest_4669 : Hey Dustin - any predictions for the Grey's Finale?
Dustin : I'll get my Once Thoughts up tonight. Have a draft. But now I'm off to see Dark Shadows My main questions really are about the haze, and also when the heck did Regina figure out who Emma was? This episode?
Dustin : I didn't think the queen looked that happy? I'm gonna have to watch it again. I am also not certain when Regina figured out who Emma was? Was it in this episode?
Guest_1607 : Like how they ended Housewives but hated the whole ghost thing.
Dustin : I'll get thoughts on both finales up a little later.
Guest_2158 : I think the purple haze is going to bring magic to storybrooke, hence the reason Gold wanted the love potion and the Queen looked happy/devious when she saw it.
Sean : I think DH went out on a very high note. The stories coming out about Terri and her bitchiness are really piling up.
Sean : Once was great tonight and really satisfying and tied up most story lines and set the tone for next season.
Sean : I only watched Once (LUV IT) and I would have dropped Grimm if it had been on any other night but enjoy it now, the second half was very strong. I gave up (mostly) on Network shows because they have such a high mortality rate. I'll commit to Cable and Premium shows because they usually go for 3 season minimum and although a shorter season they air all the eps in a row. Besides, with network shows only doing 20 -22 thats not much more than the 13 of cable et all.
Dustin : I wanna slap Tom, even in the finale.
Dustin : Wow what do we think the Purple Haze does? Make them high lol
Dustin : Last Housewives tonight! Gunna be sad Finale Once for the year too!
CGinCA : Dustin, I too had bad luck this year on new shows to get hooked on. And a few of the shows that I tried one or two episodes and gave up on as being short lived are returning..... Not fair.
Guest_1633 : Me too on circle and GCB. I really like both of those shows.
Dustin : I'm still upset about Circle and GCB! I am glad Body of Proof is coming back though
Guest_3468 : Ringer really made it too confusing for people to stay tuned in I was surprised at The Secret Circle, I thought it would make it after it's surges at the end
Guest_3750 : So sad about Ringer and GCB!
Julie : I can't believe they cancelled Ringer! I loved that show!
Dustin : I think every new show I picked up save for Grimm and Once has gotten canceled! This SUCKS!
Dustin : A lot of people suspect Arizona, because that paves the way for Karev to take over Pedes
My main questions really are about the haze, and also when the heck did Regina figure out who Emma was? This episode?
