Okay. This season finale was a little overwhelming. I love the fact we got to hear the secret about Katherine Mayfair, Dylan and Wayne Davis. Of course, once we saw that Dylan didn't have the scar from when she was little, we all knew she wasn't the old Dylan. All the little things from this season added up to that. So that really was no surprise. And with Desperate Housewives background? Of course the little former Dylan died. And then the secret was, no pun intended, buried, until of course, Katherine spilled the beans.

I love the fact that near the beginning, Bree was sticking up for Katherine. Then when Bree was taken hostage by Wayne, Katherine put her life before Bree's. That said a lot to me, about the friendship that is still going around after all these seasons. The suspense when Wayne was going to shoot Bree in the knee was just unbearable for me, I was chewing on my nails, and my eyes were wide. That was shocking for me.

Still on the subject of friendship, at the end, everyone helped Katherine. Of course it was the right thing to do. But the looks they all gave Katherine at the end... I just personally can't wait to see more of her. At the beginning, I didn't like her, but she's grown on me. Also, when Dylan ran up to Katherine and hugged her like that. I found tears forming in my eyes.

Okay... This "5 years later" Business. I'm not buying it. Firstly, Gabby is my favourite character. She's sassy, glamorous and funny. I can see her being a mum turning out to be a funny process, but I just won't feel right with her being the regular soccer mum. With Lynette, well, we all saw her the twins becoming rebels, but Preston? That's just a little weird. We all knew Bree was going to become successful, that's just her. She's strong willed. So that's really no surprise. But I do love the fact that Dylan got engaged under the Eiffel tower. Katherine's face when she hears that just tells you they've gotten through the rough (really rough) patch and now they're both holding it together and doing fine. Last, but not least... Susan. And a new man. This is so not settling with me, no matter HOW hot he looks. Mike was this rugged, sexy plumber. Who's this yummy looking entrepreneur? And what happened? Jeez, come on DH. You can do better then this. Who said people got wise in their old age? Silly...

Out of 10? 6. Not the best. I found most of the episodes in this season more then pleasing though.
