"Dec 2 episode - Yo, Ho, Blow the man down" |
Don't you hate when they do those festive feel-good episodes for the holidays? I mean come on, nothing says "happy holidays" like a being impaled with a picket through the back.Quite a show last night. Susan and Mike fighting over the pills and then the tumble. I tell you one thing, if I was ever cast as a pregnant woman on a TV show, I would stay away from stairs. Those writers love to make the prego ladies tumble. Wasn't there a way for them to save the baby and NOT save Susan??? Lynette's family in the old lady's basement. Are we to believe that all these monster houses don't have basements?? Stay in your own basement, Lynette. That whole thing with the cat and asthma was way too contrived. All that was missing was for the cat to get sucked up by the funnel cloud. Which brings us to the psycho-stalker. Granted, I don't care much for Katharine, but the other lady was way over the top psycho. And getting scooped up at the end un-noticed? Let's see where the whole Katharine story line goes. She seems to have more skeletons than even snoopy Bree. Do you suppose that wind storm will finally have dislodged the note from under the dead grandmother's bed?? Gaby jumping Edie was funny, but judging by their size my money would be on Edie to throw Gaby with one arm. The lost offshore $$ will have a huge impact, even with Gaby officially single again. I actually found that show quite entertaining, and the special effects were pretty good. Wow the destruction shown at the end. thoughts?

I don't think they destroyed it because of the strike.I think the tornado was supposed to be the pre-holiday cliff hanger type episode (a lot of shows go into reruns in December anyway) and it also just happened to be the last episode they had shot before the strike hit. I'm guessing the plan is to see the set get rebuilt over the next couple of episodes. They just can't even start the rebuild until after at least the start of the next script. We need to have the Lynette finding what happened to her family scene and probably a couple of episodes of houses in various states of repair. To just walk away and sit and wait and not know when you can shoot the aftermath/rebuilding episodes has to feel a bit funny. I will say doing the actual destruction of the set rather than just CGI-ing in the damage probably helps make all of that seem more real both on film and for the actors. If it were me directing I would have put the actors in their hiding places blindfolded after the "storm" and done at least one ad-libbed reaction shot before shooting anything scripted. Sometimes get in character and react works really well.

My ignorance on this just proves that where I live EVERYONE has a full basement (though many are not finished). Lots of cold weather and need for the deep footings.

The Tom/asthma/cat storyline was stupid. So contrived. Poor Carlos. No more money. You could see that one coming a mile off. Stalker woman was truly weird. Why he'd ever sleep with her in the first place is the true mystery. Orson and Bree are quickly becoming my favorite two of the series.

LAST EDITED ON 12-03-07 AT 04:14 PM (EST)I agree that it did leave the viewer with some questions. But I believe we can acurately assume Victor is dead. He had a picket fence sticking through his chest. Not much recovering from that I'm afraid. Plus they had to do away with his character or Carlos and Gabby would have been forced to leave town. Much better for the show to have them there than Victor. Overall I really enjoyed last night's show. As I was watching it I figured Victor would be the husband meeting his demise. I guess this means McClusky will have to come live with Lynette and Tom now that she has no house left. I think it is also safe to assume we won't be seeing anymore of Adam's pyscho-stalker. Looks like she was whisked away to never-land! I wish the new girl (Julie's friend, I can't think of her name) would hurry up and find that note her relative left her already! I would like to know the scoop on her dad. Oh, and do any of us doubt that Bree's house will be cleaned and polished within a day after the tornado!?

27. "Couple of links" |
Here are some other links that also say it was McClucky's house that was blown away. Guess we will have to wait to find out for sure but I think it was McClusky's....http://tinyurl.com/2xy7bx "I said Lynette’s terrifying scream post-hurricane would have to do with seeing something that suggested Tom and/or her kids were dead. So after we saw Mrs. McCloskey’s home reduced to rubble in the last minute, it can be safe to assume that the Scavos are at the very least very injured." http://tinyurl.com/2yl3z8 "Finale Most Likely to be Stolen from a Very Special Disaster Edition of "ER": This one, which ended with Wisteria Lane blown to bits and Lynette screaming, "Noooooooooo!" when she sees that Mrs. McClusky's house no longer exists. Which means that her family may have joined Sylvia the crazy stalker in that great funnel cloud in the sky. Like that will ever happen." http://tinyurl.com/yrquo9
"At the end of last night's episode, we were still uncertain whether Lynette's (Felicity Huffman) family survived the ordeal, and we have no idea what will become of Mrs. McCluskey (Kathryn Joosten) now that her house has been obliterated." Snidget rocks! Friday Night Lights Rules!
A good friend will come and bail you out of jail...but a true friend will be sitting next to you saying, "Damn... that was fun!"

Exactly. That's what I thought, too. But this is what the recap on ABC's site says:The door blows open and the cat runs out, so Karen runs after him and Lynette tries to get her back inside. Karen only agrees when sees the ominous funnel cloud at the end of the street. They rush into the bathroom and hide in the tub under a mattress. Finally all is quiet on Wisteria Lane. Bree is shocked to find her house has been badly damaged, but Lynette screams in horror when she sees that hers has been completely destroyed. That was really confusing. They didn't do a good job at all explaining what was going on. Here I've been thinking that Tom and her kids are dead!  Drinkin' with Ahkie!

26. "RE: Dec 2 episode - Yo, Ho, Blow the man down" |
LAST EDITED ON 12-04-07 AT 04:55 PM (EST)NOPE! NOPE! and DOUBLE NOPE! (I guess that would be TRIPLE NOPE!) I'll wait to see what wiki says  eta if it were Lynette's house, she would have been overjoyed that she forced Karen to take them in. And the irony of her surviving in her house with everyone else suppposedly wiped out in the "safe" house would be too good for the writers to pass up. So until the producer of DH comes out and says it was Lynette's house that was demolished, I will not believe it. My vote it was Karen's.

Wouldn't Gabby get set to inherit Victor's $$$$$? They were still legally married. (I missed several shows so don't know if there was a pre-nup or not) It would be fun if he had written her out.I did think it was a little too tidy the way the loose ends (Victor, the psycho-nut job) were resolved -- deus ex machina, anyone? And I wonder what Lynette's Christmas letter will look like. Gees, she must have been really bad in a previous life, because she sure has been smacked around by the fairy of hard knocks. It was entertaining, but it bugs me that they (screen writers) do not run the details of the special effects before a science/meterological advisor.
Doors tend not to blow inward during a tornado, if they can, they blow open towards the outside because of the extreme low pressure (been there, done that). The heat and humidity leading up to the tornado is oppressive and it is very still. But that is being my nit-picky self - sometimes I can out-analretentive Bree

This episode I think set certain things up for next time. the only question i have is when exaclty is the next new episode. I was ready for victor as well to go, and i couldn't have imagined Gabby and Carlos going away. They said a friend passed, but is does the new neighbor's mistress really count as a friend or is there someone else? I was thinking Linette's kid's and husband get out, but the other land i always forget her name with the cat will not be alive. I just don't know how long i can wait till the next episode but i guess i can focus on finals.
