George? Don't you mean Andrew? Do you even watch the show? You called 'him' George twice. Anywho, I like the Homosexual aspect of the show. And since this isn't a famnily show, no need for sugar coating. It's OUT there people. Live with it (or simply fast forward or turn away.)



Yeah the Applewhite story is sooo boring. They need to pack up and leave. I dunno what in the 'H-E-Double Hockey sticks' the writers were thinking when including them. "I didn't do it."



Tom and Lynette bored me. i wanted to slap Lynette for being such an insecure freak. We got you didn't like it. It was a joke, get over it. :o)



All-in-all, a pretty good show. They need more Edie Brit.

George? That's pretty bad that you are writing an article about the show and can't even get the names right! You mean Andrew, right? As a gay guy - and there are quite a few of us gay guys watching this

show - I think the storyline between Andrew and Justin is HOT! Since Marc Cherry is gay, I really hope that this storyline will only continue and become an even bigger part of the show. If people have a problem with it - too bad. I watch the heteros kiss on the show all the time, and it does not gross me out in the least. So, the people who are possibly so homophobic that they cannot even watch a simple kiss without being uncomfortable - I say get a grip and

welcome to the 21st century!

Yes, I agree the Applewhite story is boring and needs to end. Even with the new actor in the role of Caleb, this whole plot twist just seemed too stupid -- even for DH. I know Mark Cherry got smacked around by Oprah for not having any African-Americans on Wisteria Lane, but is this the best he could do? Alfre Woodward is deserving of so much more, especially after her brief appearance, and death, on the totally horrible, and quickly cancelled, Inconveivable.



I actually disliked Lynette in this episode. This psychopathic insecurity of hers is just getting on my nerves this season. Was she like this last year? Gabi's a slut, a loveable slut, but come on it was just a kiss. As for Bree, I think she just needs a good role in the hay.



I have to say I'm also disliking the gay story line. Not because it's a "gay story line," but because of the history behind it. Didn't Andrew tell the family minister last year he was doing this just to piss off his Mom and drive her nuts? If the writers wanted to have a gay story line, couldn't they have chosen a better way to present it? It may be in keeping with the show, but it's just getting old because you can tell Andrew's not really into it (as shown by the final make-out session at the end of the show). I will give them credit for pushing the envelope for a broadcast network show.

Jimmy, I think Andrew told the minister he wasn't sure what he wanted. The main goal is probably to tick off his mother, but he does seem to enjoy Justin. Some people think he looked bored in the last makeout with Justin, or he wanted to get away. Do you think that was the case? I'm not sure.



I do wish they didn't have to make a story which so easily conflates homosexuality with being a bad person, but I guess that is not going to happen on TV anytime soon.



I'm surprised I haven't heard any negative comments yet from any of the "family" groups about those makeout scenes last night.

sorry about the momentary name screw-up, Ben, I DO watch the show. I'm just terrible with names. (and funny that you agree with me on my analysis even though you don't think I watch the show ;)



and I'm glad the gay audience enjoys the storyline - Andrew's series of boytoys certainly seem luscious from a hetero woman's perspective. with his attitude, though, I've got to agree with Jimmy - something seems way wrong about him.



and yes, Lynette is becoming insufferable. I think she was better last season 'cause she was by far and away my favorite. that scene where she melted down in the soccer field was a landmark one for mamas everywhere. this season, she's overbearing and one-dimensional. I also agree that Alfre Woodward - and African-Americans everywhere - deserve better! couldn't we have had a more interesting black family on Wisteria Lane?



the one subplot that has potential is the Applewhite son + Bree's daughter. they've not really developed that one though... hmm...

I agree Lynette was a bit psycho last night..BUT Gabrielle I feel crossed the line. You do NOT kiss another woman's husband right in front of her. I think Carlos and Gabrielle's marriage is in serious trouble.Because it doesn't seem like Gabrielle realizes the hurt and pain she caused Carlos by cheating on him. As for the gay storyline..I agree that it does seem like Andrew is using Justin. However, remember when Andrew talked to Justin in the last episode while playing video games? Andrew was very hurt and angry his mother said he was going to hell. Andrew I believe is definitely gay but I also know he is using his homosexuality to piss off Bree and its working. As to the making out with Justin...I disagree it definitely looked like Andrew was enjoying it. He definitely likes Justin a lot..but I think Justin loves Andrew but Andrew is indifferent to him..

This was the best show all season, minus the gay makeout scenes. I'm sorry, that's just frickin' disgusting. I'm wondering how far the writers are going to go with that story line. If there are sounds or images of the two boys having sex, I'm gonna stop watching. That's why I stopped watching Six Feet Under.



The whole storyline between Lynette, Tom, Carlos, and Gaby was a riot. I wouldn't go so far as to say that Gaby's a slut (so she had an affair, so what), but, she's a huge flirt.



Lynette is just becoming more of a bitch. She goes too far to prove her points. Remember when she went wild in the club to get back at her boss? She lacks a sense of grace when she gets frusterated with adults. It works fine when her kids get out of control, just not with adults.



Carlos may have an affair on Wisteria Lane. If he does, it won't be with Lynette. My money is on Edie.



I'm guessing that last nights events with the Applewhites is setting the wheels in motion to really get their story going. When the death of the mystery guy is investigated, surely, they'll find the son's fingerprints on the trunk lid. As of right now, we know nothing about them and their story line hasn't advanced since they moved in.



Is anyone else thinking that most of the kids are going to be written off the show or just fade away like the youngest daughter on Family Matters? Andrew, Juli, and Zach are the only child characters that get any actual story time.

I heard a rumor that DH wants to kill off Bree.



I would hate that!



Kill off Susan, she's so stupid.
