So, last night's double-sized Season finale of Desperate Housewives finally resolved the season-long Creepy Dave storyline, while introducing a few new ones. For starters, Bree and Karl are hooking up, because apparently Bree's life isn't complicated enough. Also, Lynette and Tom are pregnant with another set of twins, because they apparently don't use birth control while on a monthlong relationship-strengthening sex marathon. The most preposterous development in all of this, however, is that Gaby and Carlos have taken in Carlos's orphaned niece, Ana, who's been staying with Carlos's aunt, because his aunt has a heart condition and can't take care of her anymore. Except the girl turns out to be a manipulative flirt, who gets the Scavo twins to do her chores, her various boyfriends to buy her nice dresses and Carlos to take her side when she cries after Gaby yells at her. Does any of this sound familiar?
It should. Last season -- granted, that was five years ago in show years -- Tom and Lynette took in Kayla, Tom's illegitimate 12-year-old daughter from a one-night stand, and she turned out to be kind of a monster. She convinced the twins to burn down a restaurant, gave one of them the idea to jump off of the roof and convinced Child Protective Services that Lynette regularly beat her and burned her with a curling iron, getting her thrown in jail. Granted, Kayla was a lot younger than Ana is (although she'd probably be the same age now, in show years), so I can't imagine this is going to go down the exact same road, but it certainly isn't going to end well. Doesn't Gaby remember Lynette's troubles? One day in the house, and Ana has already accused Gaby of being jealous of her. It can only get worse from there.
Also, how gullible are the Scavo twins? They get talked into doing stuff by women all the time. And I hadn't even noticed that this season was the second time Lynette lied to the police to get them off of an arson charge. Yeah, the first time she didn't know it was the twins, and she only lied to get Tom off the hook for it, but it's not like she told anybody the truth once she found out. And this season she lied about Preston being Porter when suspected arsonist Porter had to appear in court. I'm surprised that the police didn't bring up the Scavos' history of getting accused of arson.
What did you think of the Housewives finale? Let us know below.

This finale SUCKED, and this was the worst season ever! Everyone on the boards figured out everything for the 'mystery' in the season premiere. I predicted everything that happened in this finale because THEY ARE ALL RECYCLED STORY LINES FROM PREVIOUS SEASONS. This show sucks now! Season one was brilliant, and now I feel embarassed to call myself a fan of Desperate Housewives. More like.. Desperate Writers Who Must Be a Bunch of Twelve Year Old Girls.
Or monkeys. They're probably all monkeys.
It was a good finale for a good season. I disagree with Tim, this is still a fun show to watch.
I totally agree, Tim. Very disappointing season indeed.
We absolutely loved it!
WORST SEASON EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
this was a wonderful season i think that bre ans susans ex is a big mistake...he's been with susan and edy now bre...thats dumb and makes him look bad. I also dont agree the Scavo's having more children and the fact that kathrine and mike even got together was dumb as well and now him and susan MIGHT be back together????????
This was the worst season and season finale EVER! I think they should just end the show now instead of waiting until 2011. Get it over with because the storylines are only going to get worse. I mean everything was predictable. You know that is Susan that Mike is standing with at the altar, so there's no surprise there. You know Carlos's niece is going to be repeat of Tom's daughter. You probably figured Bre was going to start sleeping with Susan's ex-husb who happens to be the divorce lawyer, don't they all? I'm still not over Edy's death :( But what can you say?
Hmmm I actually liked the Dave storyline I thought it was well done and I did find tears almost brewing. DH can still do poignancy well I think. I liked the season overall except for some big things: Tom is so annoying (and it looks like now they're playing him for 'laughs' which is not funny, come on he acts like a 12 year old..) also Gabby and Carlos had no storylines. Are they trying to make a point that no one really changes? ALSO the neice coming to stay: I ALREADY hate that storyline so much. As pointed out it is so old. Not looking forward to a season of that.
Finally I hope it is Katherine under the veil-- that would be a nice surprise. I still love the show and they have enough very good moments to make up for the (admittedly) very bad ones.

I REALLY hope it's Katherine with Mike at the alter. I've been over the Mike/Susan drama for years now; I adored Ian and I admit that I'm still bitter over how that ended. And she had Jackson, for goodness sake! He's the only thing that makes it bearable for me to watch Susan's story lines.
I really hope it's susan under the veil. Their story line keeps going and the story with Katherine and Mike seems so fake. SUSAN is a much funnier character than Katherine who seems to be a face without a personality.
