Perhaps... but this finale, to me, is just perfect (aside from the fact that each housewife that isn't Susan doesn't really appear much, if you think about it... they each get approximately 2 scenes, save for the ending narration and that one with all of them at the hospital). Everything in the season was going in that direction: Gaby's affair is revealed to the audience in the pilot, and to Carlos in the finale/Carlos finally goes to jail; Lynette had been frustrated over her stay-at-home life, and Tom always being away, and then they switch roles; Bree and Rex finally make amends... and he dies; Mary Alice's secrets are finally revealed, Mike's plans come to fruition (sort of) and Susan's role in the mystery is intensified by her being taken hostage... it's the perfect finale because it caps off all the main stories of season 1. Which is something that'll never happen again in the subsequent six finales, they either wrap up stories (excluding the mysteries) that began only a few episodes before the finale, or bring in new stories as build-up for the following season.
