Okay, so if you want to take my headline literally - it's only partially accurate, since in reality, it was the last episode (pre-New Year) that ended with a bang. But if you're more the figurative type as I was hoping, you'll recognize that tonight's episode was full of drama and excitement that we've yet to see all season. Yes, the New Year was started off with a bang, though perhaps not the most optimistic way to welcome a New Year. While everyone else is pledging to make 2010 a better year, the guys and gals of Desperate Housewives were struggling with some harsh realities.
It wasn't all negative, however. With lives hanging in the balance, many of the show's major characters reflected upon their lives, and the good fortunes that they've had even amongst all of the bad. It was an episode filled of "what could have beens" with Susan questioning what might have been had she stayed married to Carl. Or what the outcome may have been if Bree had married Susan's deceptive ex husband. Or the future of Gabby's daughter. The "what could have beens" shed positive light on everything that the characters have today, regardless of how their pasts, presents and futures could have changed if they had made different decisions.
Tonight's episode was everything that Desperate Housewives should be. Especially after a hiatus, and when nothing else has returned to TV. So maybe that's a bias talking, but I liked it!!
