Edie being killed off the show due to drama on set has to be the worst case scenario for the fandom. I would rather them kill any of the main 4 before her because that is how much I loved her. 😭

[@katerinaconnor6472]

I understand why people don’t love this season but Dave is so camp in episode 14 when he slams the door after Tom confronts him and he is standing like a triangle is just so silly and I love it and I love him.

[@AbbyByrne]

HELP you're so right 😭😭 he aaaabsolutely gets points for that

[@folklorelp]

YES. THE LESBIANS FOR BREE COMMUNITY IS READY

[@winraw6113]

Susan calling Katherine menopausal when Dana Delany is gorgeous 🙄 if susan has no haters I'm dead

[@AbbyByrne]

sorry that some of this video came out looking like I filmed it on Dave's video camera

[@atlantictiger]

Back in the day, my high school friends & I watched this live on TV and truly our roman empire was Blue Odyssey. My favorite was Orson on keyboards, it sent me every time it cut to him. Thank you for your service, I’m sure KZbin has some creepy way of telling you I’ve been tearing through this series

[@AbbyByrne]

Blue Odyssey forever 🙏🤘💙

[@almondity5278]

[@AbbyByrne]

[@Lily_of_the_valle]

SHE HAS RETURNED!!!!

[@lilxamryn]

This is my personal favorite season (I literally don’t understand why) so I’m excited to see this recap!!

[@wikstr18]

Same here!

[@mattduffy1462]

I’ve watched all of the DH recaps several times & I realized I’ve never told u that so yes, these r my fav thank u

[@AbbyByrne]

awww yay I'm so glad you enjoy!!!

[@benzu79]

After watching your recaps I'm fully convinced that Bree's a lesbian and should have ended up with Katherine. Also Eddie deserved better.

[@AbbyByrne]

propaganda works!!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@juliescrochetpieces]

I enjoyed the video so much, as always 🥰 thank you for putting so much effort into your work!

[@caseyobrien4831]

Omggg I have been refreshing your page all week!! Can’t wait

[@orly3004]

omg this video just made my day Thank u, I love the series, sending you love !

[@1appletree]

Dave was one of the best characters. Roberta is an icon. Katherine and Mike together I liked. Gaby story progression is interesting, this season has so many gems (all of them, but this felt so fresh with the time jump and everything)

[@AbbyByrne]

omg this is so interesting to me bc I completely disagree (except that I also love Roberta!!!) All season I felt like "we jumped five years but nothing *really* changed?" 😭

[@1appletree]

@@AbbyByrne I felt like at the beginning of the season, they had room for a lot of episodes to get the viewers used to the new environment, kind of like a soft reboot, since we jumped to a new starting point with a lot of things that didn't have previous buildup, like Bree's career, Susan being divorced, Lynette with teenage boy problems instead of children, and of course Gaby's two children and new lifestyle.

[@fredrikbermhed2529]

I clicked the notification so fast! Before watching the video: Thank you for your hard work!!!

[@vee1545]

Love the Megan Hilty appreciation, I too had a big crush on her in high school 😂 I used to look up clips of her in this and sweet life and tell myself that I was Very Straight and this was just me admiring her talent 🤣 bless

[@avii332]

I BEEN WAITING FOR THISSSSSS

[@sharorviktor]

This was a great recap, thanks so much for all your work!

[@AbbyByrne]

thanks for watching!! 😁❤️

[@yourstruly9013]

Your wall is INSANE I love love love the commitment

[@madifoley2743]

my favourite series is back thank god

[@fugitive_]

Well time to rewatch all of these!

[@heidifrost3943]

Cant wait for season 6 and looking forward to see what the new series is too

[@Dylan-zm3ht]

Not exactly the sort of content I’m interested in but I saw the thumbnail and saw how much work you oh put into this so I gotta stop by and like and comment.

[@AbbyByrne]

So sweet, thank you 😭❤️🫡

[@ryderhoustonx]

love how jackson is also brian kinney in queer as folk

[@ryderhoustonx]

i gagged when you mentioned twin peaks content. definitely do a series on that.

[@user-qi4xd5nv7o]

The “Dave” mystery was too obvious. I wish there were one last twist in the end. The Mike and Susan swapping seats was a weak reveal

[@AbbyByrne]

agree! It was much less of a mystery and more... slow burn thriller with no actual payoff

[@user-qi4xd5nv7o]

@@AbbyByrneMoreover, I was more so curious about all the mysterious neighbors who moved into the street inbetween that window of time between season four and five. I have a theory that Mary Alice’s death opened some sort of hex or Pandora’s box on the street. Since her death, a mysterious person or family moved into the Lane every year from 2004 up until however long life goes on offscreen on Wisteria Lane

[@Eva-mo6jl]

She is back

[@fugitive_]

Oh no im here now i have to wait another month for the next one 😭

[@fugitive_]

Back on season 5 again! How many times can i rewatch all of these before you post the next one? These have been like podcasts i listen to throughout the day as im washing my face or doing chores. Desperate Housewives is surprisingly motivating!

[@AbbyByrne]

I'm hoping to film season 6 while my roommate is gone at a super bowl party tomorrow! 🙏

[@fugitive_]

@@AbbyByrne yes!! Hope it didn't seem like I was trying to rush you! I just really enjoy this series ❤️

[@izzyjoshuadavis]

Thanks!

[@AbbyByrne]

thank YOU! ❤️

[@srimightbeshady]

Season 5 spoiler Apparently Edie’s actor complained and got written off like that! 😭

[@fugitive_]

Honestly i think i might need to watch this show after you finish your recaps just for orsons klepto plotline.

[@TJMalana]

This was my least favorite season because of how boring some of storylines were. Mystery was too predictable from the very first episode. The best part of the season was watching Lynette’s storyline taking a dark turn with Porter the affair with Anne and the Fire. and colliding with the Dave Williams mystery. What I also liked was the Steve Jablonsky’s score was brand new. Fresh brand new music scores to represent the 5 year jump rejuvenating the series. 😍❤

[@jacintareed8506]

The way I yasssseddd when I just finished season 4 vid and saw this one was up 😮😮

[@kerimanasilasila174]

I couldn't stand Susan and Terri hatcher please

[@Coolusernamekitty]

I’m blanking who is the lady in the wire image interview meme

[@AbbyByrne]

Gillian Anderson 😂😭 from some X-Files interview

[@apedanger]

X-files please :) you’re great :!

[@Rosalyne-20]

You mention Carlos firing Lucy but you made it seems like it was because she was overworking the employees when it’s because she was racist

[@AbbyByrne]

I summarized it that way because Carlos' dialogue when he fires her resolves the conflict with Gaby from earlier on the episode when he fires her, which is given more narrative weight ("I wanna build a company that treats its people well and lets them go home at night to see their families.") You're totally right, her racist comment about the girls was the final straw for Carlos, and by "treating its people right" he means... Don't be racist 😭 bar is so low it's on the floor I fear

[@Rosalyne-20]

@@AbbyByrne I understand but I think the racism should have been mentioned because she got fired for this reason not only because he realized Gaby was right about him working too much. He drew the line because of it , he might wouldn’t have been so radical if she hadn’t revealed her true colored , it’s link to employees working too much when it’s not necessary and in top of that they’re being disrespectful by the hierarchy because of their race and ethnicity.

[@AbbyByrne]

@@Rosalyne-20 totally fair!!! I appreciate you bringing it up ❤️

[@GeorgeBreg]

i’ve been waiting for thissssss
