What I'm Watching: Desperate Housewives

Desperate Housewives: Season 4, Episode 3 "The Game" (D-)

This season did not start off too well, so it is no big surprise that it took a nosedive just a few episodes in. Everything is amplified from awkward to horribly embarassing for all involved. Edie has become one of those characters who needs to go immediately (like Lynette's stepdaughter from last season). She has no purpose on the show, and serves only to irritate Carlos and make a fool out of herself, as well as not even care when Lynette uses her in a round of charades trying to describe a hanging. Why Gabrielle would so carelessly out Bree's intrusion into Catherine's life is inexplicable, especially given her token sneakiness with Carlos and formerly the gardener. The one decent part of this hour is Victor making an unknowing threat to Carlos - though that Gabrielle storyline needs to be wrapped up pronto.
