Eight years, the end.

From October 2004 to May 2012, "Desperate Housewives" finally ended, and I followed it every week for eight years. I watched the last three episodes in one go and burst into tears. I thought, I need to write it out and get all the memory fragments.

In eight years, they have grown old and I have grown up.

Eight years, some romantic feelings, it’s time to end.

I remember going home during the break of my sophomore year and staring at the computer while eating sunflower seeds. My mother asked from behind what she was watching. She was so focused. The scene showed TOM and LYNETTE chatting about their children in a restaurant. I pressed pause and turned around to introduce the plot to my mother: the background of the story is set in a fictional town in the United States - Meijing Town. It depicts the married life of five housewives in Wisteria Lane, Fairview Town. Single housewife Susan, longing for love, her daughter looks more mature, stable and sensible than her; perfect housewife Bree, her hair is always tied up, and the lawn in front of the house is always the most beautiful in town; beautiful housewife Gaby, a former model, husband She makes money outside and hangs out with the gardener at home; and Lynette, the strong housewife, was a strong woman in the workplace before, but she goes home to be a housewife for her children. She is the happiest housewife I think, (pointing to the picture on the screen), here, this is She and her husband~~

SUSAN & MIKE

This silly lady, from Superman to Desperate Housewives, has always been dumbfounded. I really doubt that she is in her true role. But I have to say that from the moment she met Mike, she really felt that they were a perfect match... I always thought that every time Mike looked at her, he should be happily saying "Idiot~" in his heart... This way A silly elder sister who can raise a reliable and mature child like Julie may only appear in TV series. Mike is my favorite man. Although he is only a plumber, he is a tough guy and loyal. If it weren't for being too upright to stand by and watch bad things happen, I wouldn't have been shot... I also burst into tears after Mike's death...

"They're Susan and Mike. What on earth can make them separate.""Well, death."

GABY & CARLOS

Gaby stunned the audience from the moment she appeared. Not only because of her beauty, but also because of her mess with the gardener. Especially in the first season, the scenes at various times and places... made me think it was a pornographic film... In eight years, this woman, who can be called the most selfish and ignorant woman in the show, has also matured. When Carlos lost his sight, she raised a family by herself and took care of her two fat daughters who were as ignorant as she was. Whenever she acts up and Carlos shouts "Gaby!" wordlessly, I feel so warm. I once tried to imagine the scene where Carlos was with other housewives, but I thought it was completely impossible. For example, he once got very close to Susan because of guilt, but that was just friendship. Only Gaby, who is willful, cunning, lazy and suddenly sensible from time to time, is his destiny.

LYNETTE & TOM

Among all the housewives, I think she is the ugliest strong woman... I have never been able to figure out what it is that Tom loves about her that she can still give birth to a bunch of children... ...But maybe even Tom didn't realize that he loved her enough to give up his job and go home to be a housewife; he loved her enough to move to another city for her. In Season 7, the two people who I have considered to be the strongest couple from day one had a rift and Tom moved away. I have been feeling that it is not possible, but many things happen by mistake. For example, when Tom wanted to get Lynette back, he found that Lynette had already started dating someone else, and when Lynette wanted to win back Tom, she found that Tom had already started dating a new girlfriend. Living together. Even the last time, when Tom mustered up the courage to go back, he saw a man taking off Lynette's dress while smiling outside his home. Heartbroken, he turned around and left, signing the divorce agreement. But he didn't know that the man was Lee, and he was laughing at Lynette's dress. At that time, Lynette was telling her dear gay best friend how much she missed Tom. However, communication is important. It is important to say what you doubt and what you want. When Tom was about to leave town, the two passed each other for the last time and communicated, and then they realized how much they loved each other. Lynette is a strong person, but Tom just doesn't like to make decisions. Perfect, just right, no more, no less.

BREE &...

It is really appropriate to say that she is a cuckold...or maybe it is because she is too perfect and the screenwriter loves her so much that she loves every man who appears in her life. Jealous, so everyone writes to death... Bree is the most perfectionist person in town. Because of her personality, the most ridiculous things happen to her family. In order to cover up her daughter's pregnancy out of wedlock, she herself goes there every day. She stuffed a pillow into her belly, and when Grandson was born, she actually introduced her son to her sisters... In fact, Orson was a perfect match for her. They had the same pursuits, the same tastes, and they had the same passion. They have the same values ??and have the same dark side, but Orson's love is too poisonous and terrifying. But having said that, the men she has officially dated are from all walks of life, including doctors, pharmacists, police officers, lawyers... not counting the dozens of one-night stands she brought home in the last two months... and finally with Trip We are together, do you still remember what Trip said about his own embarrassment before... I am too embarrassed to write it here... It is better for everyone to go to Baidu.

Renee & Ben

This pair only appeared in later seasons, but they are a couple that I love very much. At that time, Ugly Betty was off the air due to low ratings, and I was quite surprised to find this female devil appearing in DH for the first time. Renee is also a person who seems cold-blooded and selfish but is actually very loving. Although she didn't get along with the other housewives, it was she who impressed Bree with her almost overbearing thoughtfulness when Bree was ostracized and ignored by all the housewives and attempted suicide. Ben is my favorite man besides Mike, he is a tall, handsome and rich tough guy. At that time, I had just returned from a trip to Australia, and I was obsessed with Aussie's rich interpretation, and Ben appeared~somewhat mysterious but very humorous and meaningful. In the final court, in order to protect Bree, he would rather go to jail himself. Facing Renee who was extremely embarrassed and yelling at him at the wedding, he just walked straight towards her, looked at her affectionately, and said that she was the most beautiful bride in the world. Perhaps it is such a gentle tough guy who can truly conquer such a fierce woman like Renee.

The ending part is very clever. When Susan drives around the town for the last time, the souls of all the dead people reappear (but not Edie, she was said to be written to death because of a lawsuit with the crew), accompanied by Mary Alice Yang's last confession, all the old residents have left. The first thing the new housewife did when she moved in echoed what she did 8 years ago, which was to hide a small box, which should contain a new secret.
