Desperate Housewives: Season 4

[PeppyGPhiB]

I'm loving this season so far. Actually, I thought last season was good, too, but the season before that (with the Applewhites) was terrible.

Susan is still driving me nuts, though. I can't stand her. I like the addition of the gay neighbors and the one guy's line last night about throwing "a gingham throw" over the top of the fountain was so funny. I was happy to see them pull the "I know what you did in Chicago" trick out of the bag...hopefully that will tame Katherine a little bit.

Have they ever explained why Orson ran over Mike? I keep wondering if I missed it somewhere along the way.

Hmmm...I don't think so. Orson still has some secrets.

I don’t think they actually said why Orson ran over Mike. I figured it was because Mike had seen Orson at Monique’s house the night she died.

yeah, that's probably it...I had forgotten. The stories on this show are so complicated.

I just wish they'd focus more on the characters we like and care about. I am sick of Katherine getting so much air time.
At least if they are going to show her, then I wish the show dealt with her daughter and not the "other" Chicago secret.

^^^ I love Katherine. Give me her over Lynnette's cancer, more Gabi and Carlos (and Edie) or more Susan and Mike anyday.

And I wouldn't be surprised if the Chicago secret and the daughter secret are the same or connected.

I feel the same way. Mike and Susan are plain boring, as is Tom.

I keep thinking that Katherine did something traumatic to the daughter's brain -- like a extreme hypnosis, a lobotomy or ECT-gone-wrong.

Sure, we all think that Katherine's hubby had an affair with a patient (or at least that is what they want us to think), but I'm sure there will be a twist in that story too. Remember, we all thought that Orson killed is ex wife, until he appeared last season.

BTW...I thought that Orson riding the motorbike and crashing was hysterical.

Thank you! I had completely forgotten that Mike had seen Orson there.


Here are my theories about Katherine's story line...

• I think the real Dylan died somehow, in the same room the aunt died in.
• Somehow, her real dad (and Katherine's aunt) were involved in Dylan's death, but I haven't figured out how.
• Similar to Zach's story line, a girl Dylan's age was taken from her real family and "transplanted" into Katherine's. This is the "Dylan" we see now. (I'll be disappointed with the lack of creativity if this turns out to be the case.)
• "Dylan" told Julie that she remembered a man grabbing her... ?? Maybe Dylan's dad kidnapped this "Dylan".
• Perhaps this "Dylan" was taken from a family in Chicago?

In addition to getting this plot fleshed out, I'd like to know what happened to Dylan's real dad. I'm guessing we'll find out in Katherine's aunt's letter.
