User blog comment:Desperatehousewives14fan/Season 8 Opinion Rant ~Contribute!~/@comment-392210-20120213235047

I am loving season 8, it is definitely shaping up to be the best season since the time-jump, and I am quite confident it will eventually become my second favorite season of the show, after the first. That's how much I'm loving it. The central story/mystery is genius, tying every housewife together whilst breaking them up, and ultimately involving so many of the show's core characters, including, to some extent, Mary Alice. For the first time since season 2, the second half of a season appears to be building up to be better than the first half, which is refreshing. For the last five seasons, the first halves were always better, while the second halves lagged. But I have loved episodes 10-13 like crazy, and I know I'll love the next few ones as well. The dialogue is much better. The drama is actually dramatic, the comedy is actually comedic and the mystery is actually mysterious, which is awesome! The writers are, to me, anyway, really bringing their A-game this season. I've had my jaw dropping a lot more than I expected to.
