I wasn't crazy about the Finale. Somewhere I read that the viewers would get a satisfying ending. I don't think we really did. It wasn't the worst finale I've ever seen (*coughcoughSEINFELDcoughcough), but it also wasn't that great. I saw a little of it Sunday night while at the gym, but I watched it all last night.Tom/Lynette: So it seems that Tom did think Lynette was with another man and didn't realize it was Lee. This was somewhat stupid to me because in the episodes leading up to it, Tom saw that Lynette was trying to hold on. I loved the reunion in the middle of the street and what he said to her. I didn't really love them going to New York. I agree with Tummy about Susan and Lynette sharing a grandchild. I also need to go back to look at it, but they showed what looked to be an "older" Lynette playing in the park with her six grandchildren. One of her grandchildren should have been Julie's daughter, and it wasn't. So I just didn't really love their ending after them getting back together. And we were left wondering what became of Tom.
Renee: Meh. I had no real connection to her. Did she end up staying on Wysteria Lane? Of all of the ladies, except for maybe Gabby, Renee was the one I saw with the penthouse in New York.
Susan & Julie: I'll lump them together since they are together. Why did they give us anything with Julie's doctor if that was never resolved? Did she end up with that doctor? What about Lynette's son? Was he ever a good father? What did Susan do after Julie finished school?
Gabby & Carlos: Agree with you. I actually loved their role reversal. I thought they had the funny scenes of the night - especially with the gardener and at the courthouse, etc.
Bree: I knew she would end up with him, and I'm glad she finally got a man who wan't a whack. I can totally see her ending that way. Good ending for her.
Karen: I absolutely loved Karen's story. I hated that she died, but I loved the way it was done. Absolutely perfect! How funny was it that Karen overhears Gabby & Carlos and then uses the same words in court. And then we had Tom sitting on the porch with Karen's husband, and he uses those same words with Lynette. I too cried. I just loved it!!!
At the end we saw all of the people, and I didn't remember several of them. The little boy with Karen. Was that the little boy Susan accidentally killed (Edie's crazy husband's kid)?
I'm sure we didn't see Edie because of Nicollette's lawsuit. Orson wasn't there, but he didn't die. Were they all dead people? Now I can't recall. We really didn't get a full Orson wrap-up.
I too find it hard to believe they would never get together again. I realize that people drift apart, but I just don't think these girls would have.
Then there's the whole new mystery. Susan was the first to leave, and her new neighbor had the secret. Gabby was there for a while after Susan, so was Bree. I somewhat get why they ended it that way, but I don't think it was needed.
