On Television

That was one of the great lines of the evening on Desperate Housewives as the story arc regarding Andrew's coming out unfolds. I'm really liking where this is going and it was a wonderful episode to showcase Marcia Cross's and Shawn Pyfrom's acting and the development of their characters. As Cross mentioned in a recent USA Today article, Bree is coming from a place of love, no matter how misguided it might be. Bree is not full of one-dimensional one liners like "and the word is not gay, it's sodomy." She really believes that Andrew will not go to heaven and that she cannot bare it if he wasn't there with her. Cross says the lines with such conviction that it's almost beautiful, even though, in real life, I would hate that message and hate Bree for saying it.
