ORIGINAL EPISODES, SUNDAY'S @ 10PM ON LIFETIME
Now I know not everyone who reads this has seen Army Wives or else the show wouldn't be averaging only 4 million viewers a week. And if you haven't seen the show yet you better start. Don't let the fact that it's on Lifetime deter you either (it almost kept me from watching it). This is one of the better shows on television and easily the best show of the summer (next to Damages on FX).
With my little plug over with, the season finale was incredible! I admit that at times during the season the episodes felt a little long in spots but this episode was action packed and the ending a huge surprise. They actually kept the ending hidden pretty well for most of the episode which I was very impressed with. Usually I can spot the secret's pretty quickly.
It was very touching seeing how those who fight for our country leave their homes and families. Each of the leading ladies had a chance to show off the different ways they say goodbye to their husbands (or at least most of the them). I felt the most touching was Roxy and Trevor's goodbye. I couldn't imagine saying goodbye to my wife at all and she had to say goodbye to Trevor only a couple months after meeting him and getting married. Having her stay in the wedding dress while she was saying goodbye was a great idea. Not only is Sally Pressman gorgeous (a.k.a. Roxy) but she has shown all season that her talents as an actress are going to take her very far.
Who else can't believe that Chase can be called off to duty without ever being able to tell his wife or kids? I'm sure it actually happens but I can't imagine what that's like. Could you imagine coming home and at any time your husband just isn't there and you know you can't ask questions or ever find out where he is? Life is hard enough without this being your life. But Pamela is very strong, far stronger than I think I would be.
The only bad thing about the way they ended the season was that we know all four of leading ladies and Roland can't possibly die. So it begs the question, can they come up with a plausible end to George coming into the bar strapped with a bomb without sacrificing the trust the writers have built with the viewers this season? Here's hoping they can...
