User blog comment:AndrewVDK/Season 7 - Your Thoughts/@comment-1586735-20110517162915

Overall, Season 7 has been a massive improvement over Season 5 and 6, but there were still too many things wrong with it, in my opinion. These include: the season's lack of mystery, Bree's boring romance with Keith, and Lynette's lack of a general storyline. Put these aside, and it's a winner. I loved Paul and Felicia's confrontation, Beth, the riot episode, and not forgetting the juicy season finale - which is the best the series has ever produced. Apart from my few niggles, this season was pretty fantastic, and very much reminded me of the darkness of the earlier seasons. If Season 8 can continue the storylines set up the finale (and give the characters the epic send off that they deserve, if it is the final season) then I will be more than happy to say that the show went out on a high note! Keep it up!

Talking about Season 8:
 * 1. Yes, I am very much looking forward to the Tom/Lynette storyline that has been set up. It's giving the writers more freedom with the characters. Freedom is good.
 * 2. I adored the dinner party, and the season finale was epic!
 * 3. I am most looking forward to seeing Gabrielle and the other housewives dealing with Alejandro's body and keeping it a secret from Chuck (who I'm also looking forward to seeing more of!).
 * 4. God, yes! I adore Renee. She isn't exactly a clone of Edie that we were all expecting, but still, she's a wonderful character who's had hilarious scenes this season. I hope she gets more heavily involved next season - possibly getting caught up in Tom and Lynette's separation?
 * 5. I'd love the show to go on forever, but I don't want it to try and compete with The Simpsons and get worn out. I'd love a Season 9, but I'd be more than happy with a Season 8 - as long as it's quality is equal to Season 7's, or better!
