That is the theme of this season's premiere of Desperate Housewives. I for one am glad for a fresh start this fall. Having begun the complete overhaul/remodel of a much persecuted house we bought cheap at the end of last season, my life has been thrown into chaos since March. But, in less than one week, I get the privilege of moving all my thingsfalseMelinda Ledman2006-05-13T18:48:00-07:002006-05-14T02:45:26Z2006-05-14T02:06:54Ztag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13616205.post-114757241469799649Episode 20: "It Wasn't Meant to Happen"The dialogue at the end of this episode is fantastic! Let's take a look at Mary Alice's comments and the actions that follow (transcript compliments of Ultimate Desperate Housewives at http://desperatehousewives.ahaava.com/ )

I have to apologize for my absence lately. We have been moving and it has been NUTS!! Anyway, enough excuses. Thank you for checking back in! Now to the review for tonight's show:
"Yes, Louisa Pate knew about the power of shame. She also knew that when people have it, it's a shame not to use it."
Lynette battles whether or not to use shame to quiet Parker's curiosity about thefalseMelinda Ledman2006-02-09T21:30:00-08:002006-02-10T06:24:06Z2006-02-10T06:23:39Ztag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13616205.post-113955261904376575Episode 13: "There's Something About War""Everyone understands the nature of war. We also understand that victory depends on the cards that we have been dealt. Some, when faced with a bloody battle, simply give in."
In the poker game at the end of the show, Susan folds, Gabrielle folds, Lynette folds, and finally Edie folds. These actions describe the way they behaved in the battles before the game.
Susan folds - Keeping up thefalseMelinda Ledman2006-01-18T20:41:00-08:002006-01-19T05:42:37Z2006-01-19T04:41:47Ztag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13616205.post-113764570700653915Episode 12: "We're Gonna Be Alright""Illnesses can take on many forms. Those of the body are easy to treat. Those of the heart are maladies more difficult to control. We need to find that special someone who can heal us..."
I love this show! They give me so much stuff to work with! Maladies of the heart...
I come from an alcoholic background and I can attest to the fact that diseases of the body are easier to cure than those offalseMelinda Ledman2006-01-15T18:55:00-08:002006-01-19T04:43:58Z2006-01-16T02:57:32Ztag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13616205.post-113738025273409721Episode 11: "One More Kiss""Kisses mean different things to different people. Ultimately the meaning depends on the one who does the kissing and the one who sees it happen." In this episode, three kisses are significant.
First, when Gabrielle kisses Tom, she means only to kid around and playfully repair all the insults of his youth, claiming the kiss is for all the cheerleaders that didn't kiss him when he was in highfalseMelinda Ledman2005-12-09T13:12:00-08:002006-01-19T04:43:42Z2005-12-09T21:27:09Ztag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13616205.post-113416362972927431Episode 10: "Coming Home"
"The story is as old as time itself, the prodigal son returns home..."
Now this is an interesting thought: The story is as old a time itself. As I heard the words of Mary Alice, I thought to myself, "No it's not. It's as old as Jesus. After all, he was the one who told the story." But after some thought, I realized it IS as old as time itself, because it's a parable of the human condition. Andfalse
