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.

See, surprisingly good! lol

And yeah, it was a twist that it was the son. I kind of saw it coming when he ordered her away when she wanted to see her husband off (seriously, Jeremy is proof that spanking is a necessary parental tool when used properly and in moderation), but it was still shocking to actually see it. Jeremy is way creepy in any sense. On another message board people were saying that he seemed almost jealous of his parents relationship and probably has some oedipal obsession with his mother. I'd say they wouldn't go there, but then again it IS Lifetime and they live on melodrama so who knows.

That is actually what I was thinking too. lol Watch it play out that way.
