  • Finalewatch: 'Army Wives'

    After a season full of big, oftentimes too big drama, the season finale of Army Wives rebounds with a nice tight episode that refocuses on the premise of the show. There are no stalkers or rapists, no motorcycle accidents or shady drug pushers, but instead the story focuses where it needs to be, on the lives of the core characters and how the constant uncertainty of life with the Army makes for a life that can be incredibly rewarding and incredibly unnerving, all at the same time.

  • 'Army Wives': It's about time we had the sex talk

    Networks tend to hide demographic data so that they can use it for their own purposes, so we have no real statistics on just how much of the Army Wives viewing audience is women compared to men. Two-thirds? Seventy-five percent? 80%? 90%? Even more than 90%? It has to be way up there.

  • 'Army Wives': Quagmire

    Pamela literally spends this episode of Army Wives standing around and biding her time, trying to keep herself busy by helping out at the bar because she's got nothing better to do. It's like a day at school with a substitute teacher, and Pamela has been given busy work. That's what a lot of this episode felt like, busy work.

  • 'Army Wives': Transition defense

    This week's episode of Army Wives is entitled "Transitions," and that's exactly what we've gotta be ready for. Trevor said it last year, and he reiterated it this week: two or three years is about as long as a soldier can realistically expect to be stationed at a certain post. So as we steamroll ahead toward the end of season two, it's only fair that we begin to consider the possibility that one or more cast members may be transitioned out of the show at the end of this year.

  • 'Army Wives': It's like your life, only better

    This was a very nice change of pace from the chaos of the last few weeks on Army Wives. It's probably unlikely that this heralds some kind of sea change in the overall tone of the show - some further giant trauma is probably inevitable leading up to the end of the season - but this was a welcome refresher, a reminder that there was a reason people were able to relate to these characters in the first place.

  • 'Army Wives': War is peace

    Here's the scoreboard entering this week's episode of Army Wives: Joan is on the verge of dying, Claudia Joy is possibly getting raped, Pamela is being harassed by a stalker, Denise and Frank are probably getting divorced, and Trevor's on drugs and just wrecked his car. In other words: good times for all! No wonder Trevor and Jeremy and Frank and Chase all have seemed so eager to go overseas. Iraq sounds like an Edenic paradise right about now.
