Desperate Housewives Finale was Stupid

Yes it was.
We knew Dave was the bad guy for months now, so all we needed was a climactic ending. Well we got one, Dave decides at the last second to recreate the accident that killed his wife and daughter, only this time, Dave is going to have Mike kill Dave and Mike's son! Genius!

At an even laster second, Dave gets hit by Mike but he grew a conscience and let the kid out of the car. Sweet. Dave doesn't die, goes to a mental institution, and Mike kisses Susan. Now Mike is getting married, but is it Susan (again) or his fiancee Katherine. Ooooh, how will I make it all summer?

Meanwhile, since we already knew Dave was the bad guy AND you paid Lily Tomlin to show up, why not use her and Katherine Joosten more and have them actually solve the crime with the cops? You had this interplay going all season - why just downplay it in the finale? Dumb.

Bree's divorce proceedings? Boring.
Tom going back to college / Lynette pregnant again? Awful. Just kill them all.
Carlos and Gabby taking in a teen-gabby? Funny.
Rest of the show? Awful.

Fun review of the Sunday night soaps (Desparate, B/S). Awful as they are, they provide background for Sunday night chores/laundry. Actually try to avoid B/S--it's just beyond annoying and stupid. Probably time to turn on the music.
