Trivia
The season 2 finale was originally meant to set up a different story arc for Orson Hodge in season 3, where he would be revealed to be a con artist and Amanda was his accomplice. When Kyle MacLachlan asked if he could become a long-term cast member rather than a single-season villain, the mystery for season 3 was retooled, and Amanda was written out of the show, with no mention of her after her single appearance in season 2.

Goofs
When Karl sees Mike going into the jewelry store to buy Susan a ring, on the wall behind Mike is a large municipal seal that says "CITY OF SOUTH PASADENA CALIFORNIA - INCORPORATED MARCH 2, 1888." (The show takes place in the fictional town of Fairview in Eagle State.)

Quotes
Mary Alice: The trick is to keep moving forward, to let go of the fear and the regret that slow us down and keep us from enjoying a journey that will be over too soon. Yes, there will be unexpected bends in the road, shocking surprises we didn't see coming... but that's really the point, don't you think?

Alternate versions
While "Remember: Part 1 & 2" aired as one continuous 2-hour-special on ABC, international broadcasters like German pay-TV Premiere showed a 2-part-version which has several scenes moved from the first hour to the second and vice versa (e.g. Zach's last phone call to his dad appears much later in the 2-part-version). The scene where Gabrielle takes Xiao Mei to the doctor is missing completely in the 2-part-version, probably due to time constraints.

like and admire

Just wanted to express how much we like Desperate Housewives down here, and especially how much we admire Nora's talent and beauty. The show points straight into the everyday realities of many real housewives, thus providing an easy, relaxing outlet for so many inner feelings and emotions continuously experienced by the audience. Kiersten's personal transparency and charm fits in perfectly for a genuine interpretation of Nora's predicaments, in such a way that one has to immediately identify with the character's actions and reactions. This identification lingers on for quite a while, and the character thus acquires a life of her own, that remains in the memory of the audience, not as a person that one knows, but as if you had gone through the experience yourself.
