Army Wives (Season 2)

As I watch the season series 2 of Army Wives I notice more and more that the story line is veering off the path of the typical daily life of a true Army Wife, and more into the drama loaded byproduct of Hollywood.

Hollywood's "perception" of what Army Wives are, versus what they truly are...the simplicity of a military wife verses the trumped up version that is now taking hold in the new season has lost my attention.

We have the cute perky Roxie who is newly married into the arena of being a military wife all wrapped up in opening a Bar that was previously blown up by a disheartened GI who found out his wife was having an affair. She still doesn't grasp her husbands HONOR and DUTY or OATH to serve in the MILITARY, nor the anxiousness within him to GET BACK to Iraq and finish his tour of duty with his unit.

We have the Commander's wife, Claudia-Joy, who is still dealing with the loss of her child (same bar explosion) and helping others deal with loss when a soldier is a KIA.

We have the Cancer Patient-Betty, who gave the Bar to perky Roxie--who is obviously going to be cut from the show soon, probably by death...which will lead to some long lost stranger of a relative making the scene into Roxie's life because at this last episode, Roxie's husband made mention that eventually they will PCS, and THEN what is Roxie going to do about the BAR---yea, we all know where this is going...Roxie will probably DX the hubby to keep the bar and find a new love interest in previous mentioned stranger via Betty's death.

Then we have the ever rolling drama of the secret squirrel club of SPEC OPS wife, and here comes the Hollywood drama for what it best at trying to depict. Good lord in heaven. Supposedly there is some theft ring going on with the SPEC OPS guys, a few arrests were made, and the SPEC OPS team are now dual CIA operatives to boot! ta da! Hollyweirdos. This does not happen. Sorry. Your writers were smoking something, and it wasn't cigarettes.

Finally the HOLD OUT for hope. Denise, the Nurse. I was really hoping that the relationship she had with Frank, would be the long standing no holds barred no affairs type, and Denise would be happy re-inventing herself and Frank would be happy to come back to a GREAT wonderful PERFECT special wife with all this new talent! He would champion her and bless her with praise and adore her for learning so much and being so strong!
Ahhhh nope. Frank is a control freak. He doesn't like the motorcycle, he doesn't like her going to Nursing School, he doesn't like her taking care of herself physically to stay beautiful, and he doesn't like her looking into her past and trying things she once liked to do....Frank is an ASS. When Denise tries to see that perhaps spending time with ye' ole young doctor is a bit much--she does pull back though! Got to give her that.

Finally the love birds with a baby on the way. WHEW. Some saving graces. A couple devoted to each other, and kicking butt and taking names. Roland and his wife are AT LEAST a couple to depend on for something solid in this program.

I can say I have honestly lost interest in this season's series, so much that I wait for it to upload online, and then catch it when I am utterly BORED with not a single thing left to do on my plate for the day. Not even play a game online. Or sleep. However, I made a promise to watch it to completion and blog my thoughts, so there you have it. My solid commitment.

Watch something else. This show is 5 thumbs down.
