'Desperate' finale

I think 'Desperate Housewives' has officially lost its mojo ...

The finale was good, it was suspenseful (somewhat) ... but it wasn't great.

The flashbacks of the housewives moving onto Wisteria Lane and becoming friends were entertaining, and it was great to see killed-off characters Mary Alice, Rex and George ... Lynette remains far and beyond my favorite character (... as insane as her kids driver her sometimes, most of the time, it seems she's the only intelligent and halfway decent person living on the block ...) ... and the climaxing scene with Bree facing a gun-pointing Matthew was gripping ...

But ...

... Susan's on-again, off-again thing with Mike and her do-nothing-right personality and constant ditzy, whiny heart-breaking is getting a little (ok -- a lot) annoying. ... And where the heck did Mr. Creepy Dentist guy come from!?! Suddenly he appears after Susan's house burns down and becomes the new creepy guy on the block ... and to make matters worse, Bree appears to have some affection for him.

sigh.

... Another 'Desperate' story being recylcled for a 'Desperate' cause. ... I'm actually contemplating not watching next season, but I'll probably watch anyway out of habit ... I hate good TV.

I'm tired.

This story says it all ...
