The beginning of the end.

Warning: Spoilers
But not in a bad way. Eight years is more than enough, for a TV show to address all sides of its premise and protagonists. For its finale season, Desperate Housewives writers have the story come full circle. The four friends are put in Mary Alice's shoes, and share a terrible secret, like she did during the pilot's opener. I love it, the show is back to its roots, with a premiere written just as tightly as the pilot episode was. True it gets back to more run of the mill storylines, the following episodes. But they were just as funny, dramatic and full of revelations, with unexpected returning characters (The episodes with Sara Paulson and Joy Lauren, were great). « The Art of Making Art » have interesting moments, mainly regarding Lynette and her journey back to single life. Which is a big fiasco, but made it all the more funny and touching. Of course, Gabby getting in trouble for opening her big mouth, is still as entertaining. But I hope the mothers committee thing won't last too long. And that Carlos won't become the new lush of Wisteria Lane too. Speaking of which, Bree does really contradictory things lately. First she dumps her cop boyfriend, leading to him becoming an enemy (wrong move). And now she volunteered to work at a soup kitchen, turning it in a cafeteria, so hipsters can leave good comments about her cooking on their blogs... Miguel Ferrer playing Susan's new art teacher, made her own side of the story more interesting. Because you guessed it, she's still the wet blanket of the group. And I think Mike became a bore with her. Of course, no DH episode can be complete without a Renee apparition, and her scenes with Lynette at the bar, are the kinds I'm always here for. If things keep being this good, I might consider putting season 8 second or third on my ranking list. It's like a new beginning for the show, more in tune with the first year's goodness and excitement.

Susan's story should continue

Warning: Spoilers
So Susan had go to Art class nude and nothing happens after her walking out, like Andre just allows her to quit despite she laughed at the nude model, her punishment should been she had to be the model for the class or Susan should had her Cardigan stolen which would been the more logical way to have continue the story for two so ways to ended, The First one: Susan would just model for the class, Which would would got a chance for payback The Second way: Susan had to streak home (Mike probably drove her) without getting caught until she was in Wistera Lane then she would be compete embarssed.
