Right now, I'm just gonna comment on your own suggestions, I might add some of my own later on.


 * 1. I agree that Mike's death was uncalled for and I was extremely sad and bitter when it happened, mainly because I thought Susan wasn't going to get her happy ending. To make us become invested in that couple for 8 years and then have it destroyed so close to the end is aggravating. That being said, I did love the way Susan's story ended, and I just can't factor alive Mike into it. Her leaving the lane with her kids and grandkid, and having Mike and other ghosts looking upon her... it was perfect. And the whole thing did give Teri Hatcher something else to work with, other than screwball comedy, and I honestly think she was pitch-perfect. Besides, Mike's death scene and flashback sequence were awesome. So I'm torn on that one.


 * 2. I wanted Orson to die on that plane crash so bad, but seeing as how he left at the end of the season anyway, I don't really care. I wouldn't have wanted Bree to marry Karl, I knew that story couldn't go on for much longer. And seeing as how Orson made kind of an awesome turn in season 8, I'm also torn on that one. :P But no Bree/Karl marriage, definitely.


 * 3. I think Lynette's cancer lasted for such a short amount of time! It started in 3.22, and ended in 4.06, albeit with minor repercussions in later episodes. So, really, she had cancer for 8 episodes. Half the amount of episodes Carlos was blind in. It doesn't seem like such a short time because season 4 was so short itself, and there was the break between seasons 3 and 4, of course, but it really didn't last very long. I was actually surprised she got rid of it so soon. Had the season run for 23 episodes, it'd be kinda weird how her starter storyline lasted for only one fourth of those.


 * 4. I agree, Grace and especially Kayla should had gotten better closure than they did, those stories were not handled very well following the departures of both young ladies.


 * 5. I liked that Katherine was gone after 3 seasons as had been originally planned, because I couldn't picture her staying. 3 seasons was good, even though I kept praying she'd return and guest star in seasons 7-8. :P


 * 6. That I agree with. A lot! The way he said Katherine meant nothing to him in 6.05 and 6.08 (that sex was all they ever had)... that rubbed me the wrong way. They were together for almost a whole season, he told Dave he loved Kathy... he could had just been trying to fool himself, and when he told Katherine in 6.09 that he didn't care about her, obviously it was just to throw her off cos she had kidnapped MJ... but it was still rather douchy of him. Totally unlike the Mike we've come to know. I felt sorry for Katherine.


 * 7. THIS!! What a wasted character... so many great things could had come out of her appearing more. Especially in season 7, not THAT was a misfire. Seriously, Paul was back and all we got all season long was the teaser for 7.01? Shame on you, Marc Cherry. Shame.
