"Army Wives" mini-cap: touched by an angel

I, for one, appreciate reading your recaps. I hardly ever get to watch the show... which I generally like to do. However, with this new sappy turn I think I would rather just read your comments. Especially now that the story line with Renee O'Connor doesn't seem to be happening... tear... So, thanks!

I agree that Army Wives does suck now but I am with you. I will contine to watch just because I have the biggest crush on Catherine Bell (I can't help it... she is cute) so you can contine to recap if you want to.

about the show just not being the same. And yet, I cannot give up on the show yet. I think it is the strength of the cast that pulls me back. And I am liking the recaps because I like to read your take on things and read others' comments.

The angel thing was too much and confusing...and not in a good way. The little boy could see him and yet I guess the angel was leaving for other parts and so both CJ and Roxy's son would no longer be seeing the angel.

I liked seeing the other part of Roland with Emmalin and I hope they develop that with she and her friends coming to him...that might be interesting.

Bottom line is that I really like the cast; I am not giving up on the show yet; and yes, please to the continued recaps! :)

 

i was so looking forward to ROC appearing. I'm actually stuck watching Army Wives because my wife loves it. Still she even admits that so far this season is lacking in the same caliber of story lines as last season. But I definately like recaps because of the hilarious comments made about the subtext between CJ and Denise which my wife swears doesn't exsist.

I started watching because Renee O'Connor was to appear and now that story line  died and with it, some of my interest.  But I got my partner wactching it now and there is really nothing on 10pm Sunday night.

I like the Denise gets a bike thing and the XO who is now pregnant could be interesting (maybe).  So, I vote for more recaps to make the watching more fun! 

 

I watch Army Wives to see Catherine Bell (anything with her in it is worth my time).  I enjoy the re-caps because I can get another lesbians veiw on the subtext between CJ and Denise. 

Well, sure, the whole angel/messenger plot was pretty much beyond the pale for Army Wives. But there's no need to take it out on Earl, girlfriends.

That's to say, yeah, right. "Harry" was some kind of Xtreme display of the cloying sweetness were're apparently stuck with on AW this season. But Earl is something else entirely. And "bubba" doesn't even begin to cover it.

If you need a reminder, try DameRhetorica's recap from early last season. Now that's an example of TV's "touched by an angel" theme at its most sophisticated, with apologies to Bill Cobbs. He's a fine actor who happens to have a JAG connection, for those of you keeping score.

But back to the subject a hand. Starting here and now, it's on :: the first annual TV angel smackdown. That's FAT AS, with a nod to Dorothy Snarker, who made today smackdown day.

Next up :: the season premiere of Saving Grace on 7/14.

You say hellraiser like it's a bad thing.

 

 

I keep forgetting to watch it or I get distracted by another show. lol I keep catching it at the end where there's just 10 minutes left. I read your recaps to figure out what happened in the first 35 minutes. And so far your recaps are far more better then the show it self.

Tiny rant: Why the hell can't Betty just not like children? I for one love kids but I understand those who just don't have the patience for them. Why couldn't that have been something weird or quirky about her instead of making her into the already super depressing character that she is. First she has cancer, then her bar gets blown up, and now we learn she's mean to kids because she's always wanted one. Goddamn it give a break here.  I can only take so much bullshit at a time. First they kill off the hot sister, then they turn Roxy into the whinest character alive (I thought that title belonged solely to Meredith Grey but I was wrong), then they have what's-her-face keep her baby even though we all know it's not something she really wants to do. Why couldn't they have had her be strong about her decision to put her career above making a family with her cheating husband (I love Roland but it still doesn't change the fact that he cheated on his wife  and then lied about it), and now they've given the awesome bar owner with cancer the"I hate kids cause' I can't have'em" storyline. I didn't want to like this show at first but after watching the first couple of episodes I was hooked. And now I'm pissed because I feel like they're quickly destroying a good thing.

*exhales* I feel better.

I know that this is just supposed to be a tv show, but I can't help but feel that people who watch this really think that this is how the Army is. I mean yeah we all have our ups and downs, and the Army can sometimes screw you over, but the problems they show seem to  made for tv. I mean we should see more of how Roxy and Denise deal with the fact that their husbands are overseas, or they fact that Denise's son has a great chance of going to Iraq, or the fact that Joan has to deal with  her preganancy  being a glass ceiling for her. As a former solider in the Army I was excited to see a show that was willing to show just what Army life was like, but now it seems they just want good ratings. I do have one compliment though, the berets they are wearing now looks like one a solider might actually wear, unlike last season wear it looked like they were just put on there heads and away they went.

I just started watching this show. I like most of the characters (especially Claudia Joy and Denise)...but I find Roxy to be extremely annoying. Seriously, I keep wanting to strangle her. The angel thing seemed a little weird but I was willing to go with it. I agree that the Denise and Mac interaction was really great. I hope they do more stuff like that.

Still watching because it's Catherine Bell and now she has a bike on the show and I'm THAT easy. So yes to the recaps.

As for last episode, it sucked. It was worse than the one before and I fast forwarded through it. What more is there to say? Denise, flirting with that guy, kinda cute I guess, in a (yawn) heterosexual way.

Katherine Fugate, please give RoC her lesbian part back, mmkay?
Much thanks, me.

i love your mini-caps!(and other blogs too!)

Army Wives is such a great show! I hope everyone else starts watching it too! Here's to CB or KD making it to AfterEllens top 100 next year! ;]

The angel thing with Claudia Joy was a bit much. For a minute I thought I was watching the PAX network and it's was an episode of Touched by An Angel.

Though, I will continue to watch Army Wives and read your recaps.

I watched one ep of this show only because I was preparing to care since Renee Oconnor was going to be joing to cast. Since she's not now, (anger issues ensue here) Ill no longer be wasting my time. This is a little too "Lifetime" for me, and without Renee, I just view watchiing that one ep as an hour of my life Ill never get back.  

 

Leisha, sweety, I mean Miss Hailey... call me. 

With my crazy work schedule, I don't always get home to see the show.

So these mini-caps are a great way to keep with the show, so the next time i see I wont be like, what the heck is going on!

 

just my .02 cents

OK - you got it - mini-cap is on. Thanks for the feedback!
