This was my absolute favorite episode of the season. It gave an overall feel of drama, comedy, and suspense.

I loved all of the flash forwards though I think they might have overdone it a little bit with Gaby's. When people watch it they might think the same but I also think it really works because she has this crazed personality that allows her to be outrageous and not out of character.

Lynette's flash forward was very intense that I was in awe most of the time. They do a good job with the drama for her.

Bree's was a bit overdone but I think it's mainly because she was imagining Orson's life as well as her own when a lot of time passes.

Susan's was downright hilarious and I wish there would have been more of it because I laughed at almost every line. They did a good job on her fat suit.

Brando, great to see you here.

Yeah, this episode was great, but definitely not my favorite episode. There more episodes that are far better for me. But I still did enjoy "If...", a lot. I loved Susan's segment. I agree, the comedy was amazing there.

Bree's felt kinda rushed but I really liked the last scene with the photos in Orson's apartment, even though I'm not a BrOrson fan. At all.

Gaby's was fun, and she was always in character in the segment. But I do agree that was overdone. Also, I didn't like her "what if" question itself. We need something that could move the plot a long. Like maybe "what if Gaby and Lynette stayed in a fight?". That would be great. Could have a group scene in there.

Lynette's was definitely my favorite. It was so intense and dramatic and I loved it. Felicity must get at least an Emmy nomination this year. Otherwise, I don't know what's fair anymore.
