lynette scavo

I lapsed on Desperate Housewives for a while there (like, a year or two), but recently started watching it again. It's pretty good! If you haven't kept up to speed with it, the last episode of 2009 ended with a plane crashing on Wisteria Lane. Tonight's episode picks up with Susan learning the details of the crash.

The clip below indicates that Karl is in surgery and it doesn't look good, and that Lynette saved Gaby and Carlos' daughter from certain death. At the hospital, Lynette starts experiencing some pains and worries that something is wrong with the babies. According to the episode synopsis, the gang starts pondering what their lives might been like had they made different choices, and it looks like we get a glimpse of what they'll look like in the future.

Are you watching Desperate Housewives? And if you lapsed like I did, what brought you back to the show?

The folks at our sister site Cinematical are working hard to give you news and reviews of the best -- and worst -- the silver screen has to offer. Here are some of their musings on the latest blockbusters, indies, and everything in between:

• I love Friday the 13th and am totally psyched for the new one that just came out. If you need to catch up on the franchise, check out Cinematical's Obsessive-Compulsive Guide to the Friday the 13th Movies.
• I never saw the recent Brandon Routh Superman movie, but if they recast the role of Superman with Jon Hamm, I'll be there in a second. Cinematical asks "when do you recast a character?"
• Felicity Huffman playing a role other than Lynette Scavo? I'm in. Check out the trailer for her new movie, Phoebe in Wonderland.
• Remember how I said I love Friday the 13th? Well, I do. If you do too, check out Cinematical Seven: Jason's Greatest Kills.
• ...Nightmare on Elm Street, on the other hand, doesn't quite do it for me. Cinematical's Scott Weinberg, however, does not agree. In fact, a new Freddy Krueger is totally cool with him.
