I feel confused and a little dirty ....

...because I just genuinely enjoyed a show that aired on Life Time, and didn't have a vampire as a main character. I can kind of excuse watching Blood Ties cause I'll watch almost anything with vampires and I don't really like it per say so much as it doesn't pain me to watch it and Vicki's cool sometimes and Kate is hot and totally needs to break out some of her martial arts moves (Francoise Yip totally know martial arts ya'll, she's been in Jackie Chan movies I'm not being racist!)

However, I just finished watching Army Wives (starring Catherine Bell, Kim Delany, Brigid Brannagh, and a bunch of other people) and I actually liked it. *looks around in a daze*

Now, I never watched JAG, cause well it was JAG, so I never really saw Catherine Bell in much except for that really bad TV movie called Triangle, which was really bad and about the Bermuda Triangle eating people or something. So this is the first time I've seen Catherine Bell in something that didn't suck, and I do declare that she is lovely and amazing and luminous and I kind of love her. I just wanted to hug her character and snuggle with her for the whole episode. Not only that but her character has a pretty interesting storyline with a family that isn't as perfect as it seems on the outside. Note to creepy son Jeremy, you can love your mother but you can't love your mother

Next, I used to love Kim Delany, then she wasn't working for me so much, and now she's back to being awesome. This is Kim Delany is a form I haven't seen her in in a while, and I'm digging it. She plays the classy, pulled together, well-educated, caring, respected den mother of the post, and has a regal kind of elegance and grace that really works. I like this Claudia Joy Holden, in fact I even like that Claudia Joy Holden has three names and that people say it all together like that.

Brigid Brannagh will always be Sasha (Julian Luna's niece who cried tears of blood in one of the best shots ever in anything on Kindred: The Embraced back in the day) to me but I really liked her in this role, and I enjoy her characters brand of non-conformity more than the main character, Roxie's. Part of her storyline had a surprisingly quick resolution but there's definitely interest with her relationship with the other post wives, her budding friendship with Roxie, and her asshole husband.

I'm also totally interested in the storyline with the female Colonel, Joan, who just returned after being in the middle east for two years and is having trouble coping.

As well, because I'm me I'm totally already shipping Denise (Catherine Bell) and Claudia Joy Holden (Kim Delany) based one the fact that their both good looking, Claudia Joy Holden rubbed Denise's thigh very tenderly during the episode, and they hugged a lot and are best friends.

Now, somebody tell me that they saw this show as well and that I am not alone in my shameful like of it ... please ...

Also, if anyone missed it and would like to see it, comment and I'll upload it and post some links.

I love the shout out to Kindred: The Embraced. It makes me want to watch it later, maybe it'll make me forget for a moment that Rise: Blood Hunter is not playing anywhere near me.

I can't believe I missed this episode! I had written it down and everything. :(
It sounds really good though! It would be great if you could upload the episode, in rar format if that's possible? :/

(sigh)...ok...i forgive you...but you're walking a fine line missy...;)

i've seen the promos for it during my daily viewings of the "golden girls" and they made me want to wretch...i thought kitty bell was hot until i found out she's like a hardcore republican...and that pretty much felt like something akin to finding out my grandfather was actually hitler.

"Ahh, that must be the major change. Let's hope she stays on the wagon."

yeah, cuz i mean this town is already getting bad press for the whole "rising murder rate" thing...the last thing we need is to have everyone think that we're also a town full of drunks...we're just now living down the whole throwing snowballs at santa claus at the football game fiasco...thank god for tina fey...:)

See, you are allowed to like it, the show was written by the same woman who wrote the most awesome Xena ep "When Fates Collide". Femslash connection = problem free!
