The Melrose Place alumns had their first scene together on Desperate Housewives! They even exchanged two lines of dialogue! It only took a whole season!

I thought it would be a running gag they never would.

Spoiler. There is a time difference, you know.

And it sometimes happens that even people in the same time zone don't get around to watching it until later.

Come to think of it, these days, how long is one supposed to wait? It could be next year before all those TiVo-ed episodes get watched. What's polite? I think I was rude, and I apologize.

I dunno. I think I usually figure that after three or four days, anybody who hasn't watched an episode probably doesn't have it as high priority. Of course they might have been away or too busy to watch TV, but then they wouldn't have time to read LJ either, would they?

Hey, speaking of TiVO, could I ask you guys a favor? The premiere of 24 is, like last year, a 4-hour extravaganza, so for one night it will conflict with West Wing and Desperate Housewives. Since you guys already tivo both of those, would you be able to dump a copy to VHS for us? It would be this coming Sunday (the 15th?) that the conflict occurs. Just let me know if you'd be able to do this.

Thanks,
Bitty

Yup, we can do this. Hopefully we'll remember not to delete the episodes immediately after watching like we usually do.

Thank you!!! You rawk :)

Not being exactly an aficionado of Melrose Place (as in, having never knowingly watched a single frame of it), I don't know who to whom you refer.

Marcia Cross and Doug Savant. Just to get that out of the way.

Huh. I don't think I'd ever noticed that Bree and Tom hadn't interacted. Then again I didn't have any particular reason to pay attention the that combination.

Wait a second. Was I being sarcastic? Did I actually care? We'll see.

Just consider it one of those momentary lapses of sanity. Or instanity. Or whatever.

I'm glad someone resuscitated the writers for an episode.

No kidding. This episode was finally back to the fun of last year's episodes.

And the boy-on-boy action didn't hurt either...

[identity profile] pinkfish.livejournal.com 2006-01-09 02:12 pm (UTC)(link)
There was a rumour last season that they were going to pull their punches on the boy-on-boy issue - you know, Andrew really was just 'experimenting'.

I'm glad to see they thought better of that.

[identity profile] rsc.livejournal.com 2006-01-09 05:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Indeed, I'm impressed and pleasantly surprised by how far they're willing to go along those lines, in prime time on a broadcast network. And with underage characters at that.

Of course, there are hints that Andrew is partly doing it just to piss off his mother, but still, he is doing it, and the fact that his interest in boys predates his rage at his mother is a good sign.

For now. He was very passive during the final kiss.
