Additional Comments: I was rather suprised that Kim would tell Chris to extend an invitation to Alison for dinner, and then proceed to put hurl all of those catty remarks at her about 'the Stewart women". (Even if she is still bitter about Susan's long-ago fling with Bob, it was definitely not the occasion to bring it up, and Susan's affair with Bob was certainly not Alison's fault; her comments obviously made Bob uncomfortable too.) Yes, Kim is protective of Chris, but she also has always been extremely fair and gracious. It's one of her most admirable qualities, so it seems out of character that she would have made those comments.

Message: I read somewhere that men, as they get older, lose the ability to control impulses. And I've seen evidence of that. So maybe it's the same with women. However, I think it was just some writer who didn't think it was necessary to keep Kim true to her character.

Message: I was proud of her, especially when she asked, What's the appeal? Kim has had to deal with Susan and her kids for a LIFETIME, starting when Kim was married to Dan Stewart and Susan made their lives hell. I don't blame her for just putting it out there--what is she, a saint? Good for you, toots!

Message: The sad part is that Kim was great in the Bratie wedding episodes, but catty Kim is better than no Kim at all, and who among us have not had unexpected witchfest? Get on my last nerve on the wrong day, at the wrong time, and I will the witch flag fly.

Message: I agree with what you wrote. As you stated the affair was not Alison's fault. It was between Susan and Bob. So, if Kim has forgiven Bob maybe she should forgive Susan. After all, those of us who have watched this show since the beginning of time know that Kim has done some things she is not proud of. How would she like to go out to dinner and be assaulted by some of her crimes of the past? I found her comments to be rude. It made me like Alison even more.

Message:
Ungracious is definitely the word for what Kim did. Ungracious and out of character. I was stunned. It seemed to "slip out" so naturally, too, as though she's accustomed to making remarks like that. Perhaps Bob lives with that all the time?
