As a parent, can't say I was a fan of the ending. Leave the drama to the adults, that wasn't fun at all.

    It was boring and once again it left nothing to come back to watch for in the future. It was all garbage!

      I'm sick of Lynette's kids and (especially) her husband! Without Creepy Dave, there's nothing to see here.

            Amazing! I really wished they showed who Mike married...I kinda have a hunch that it's Susan after what happened. I can't wait till next season!

              I probably don't care too much these days if Susan & Mike have re-married; I'm kinda over them. & Ana (who looks like Miley Cyrus a little), even through one episode, is the sexiest teenage girl to appear on Wisteria Lane, in comparison to past teens Danielle or Julie, the wholesome good girl who was the more stable person in the Mayer household (& I quite miss, frankly). I'm predicting she'll go steady w/ Preston, the one Scavo scion who's had the least storylines. & one more thing: I was kinda expecting the wedding in the end to be of Andrew & his fiance. I guess they'll get hitched next season.

                I loved it! I enjoy the seens between Carl and Bree. How is it Orson has the upper hand? Bree knew Orson tried to rob that old lady and caused Edie to wreck. Why didn't she tell him ?

                I've been routing for Susan and Mike to get back together. My money is on them getting married. Katherine and Mike were boring.

                Edie will be missed. We need more of Karen and her sister (Lily Tomlin). I was disappointed Lynette was pregnant again.

                  Most people will think that Mike married Susan. However, I was watching on a 52" high-def ... and it is very likely he married Katherine. The sloping shoulders and puffier updo did not look like Susan. But, mostly - it was obvious from the sloping shoulders ... Susan has stronger "square" shoulders, and Katherine has sloping shoulders.

                  Did anyone else catch that?

                    As a 40 year soap opera watching vet, I assure you, you are wrong.  I can promise you that it was NEITHER Dana Delany (clingy Katherine) or Terri Hatcher (sappy Susan) under that veil.  It's a very old soap trick.  When you don't see the face, it's a body double designed to throw off the viewers.  Likely Cherry is waiting to see some sort of fan reaction.  I think the season ending with Mike and Susan passionately kissing is a clue but could also be a red herring.  Mike and Susan are the rooting couple and many, many viewers don't like Katherine being clingy with Mike.  The one thing Susan never was as far as her relationship with Mike was clingy.  Katherine even lied to Susan and manipulated Mike moving in with her to hang on to him.  When Mike knew Susan and MJ were in trouble, he could think of nothing else, he didn't even explain to Katherine, he let a stranger tell her he was leaving.  If it is Katherine marrying Mike,, she has no self respect and I hate her even more. 

                     

                    But the point is, don't judge the body you saw, it was just an extra under that wedding getup.

                      The finale was boring and there is no reason to go back and watch it again next season. They left nothing to really want to go back to and see what happens. The show is a flat line! I am so sick of Susan and Mike going round and round. The show is a waste of time and there is no substance at all to the show - no drama and very little humor at all.

                            I am actually a huge fan of the show. I just didn't like the MJ at risk part. I consider that a minor complaint in the big picture but really don't find plots against little children entertaining. I do wish they had more Bob and Lee though, they're pretty funny. And how many just knew Karl was going to chase Bree?

                              Here's hoping Mike married Katharine. She's classy (most of the time), actress Dana Delaney is a delight, and, really, I'd like to think Mike was sincere when he said he loved her.

                                It is possible that Cherry hasn't yet decided who Mike married which is why the episode ended as it did.

                                  I think that is very possible

                                    Pretty predictable re Dave's storyline. I'm aghast that Lynette's pg again. First, Tom is basically a child. He has a terrible time sticking to a career and can't accept that they already have a houseful of ill-raisted brats to support. Their sons are frightful. Lynette is a cancer survivor who probably shouldn't get pg again anyway. Finally, they both come off as totally irresponsible since they haven't raised the kids well, can't seem to stick to any careers, and don't know the meaning of the words "birth control." And Tom has that demon daughter by another woman who presumably needs his financial support. Please strike a note for common sense and reality: Let Lynette have a miscarriage or, possibly, explore adoption. I know that abortion, though legal, would cause too much controversy for the program. Their storyline would be better served if Tom grew up and Lynette acquired a backbone w/her sons.

                                      My daughter just watched and brought up a great point ~ why would Carl be at Katherine's wedding. And according to Assiello (sp) he knows who the bride is and hints to look at the attendees to figure it out. Most of those people wouldn't be there for Katherine's wedding.
