Army Wives Season 6 Premier Thoughts!
Posted by Dustin on 03.05.2012 at 9:28 pm
So last night was the Season 6 premier of “Army Wives.” What went down? Well here are some bullet points to sum it up . . . .
A hurricane was headed toward Ft. Marshall, which was in the process of closing up. Everyone was supposed to be moving out, they had their new orders.
Michael learned he was being given a desk job at the pentagon. He decided to simply retire, letting Claudia Joy take her turn and pursue her career.
Roxy and Denise were both going to Ft. Hope, but Pamela and Claudia Joy were moving on elsewhere (Chase was absent from the episode).
Joan and Roland got the all clear, and their son’s adoption was formalized.
The hurricane hit, and wreaked major havoc.
Denise was seriously injured when a window in the hospital shattered on her face and blew her across the room. She ended up in a coma with brain injuries, and Frank was faced with transferring her to John Hopkins for better treatment.
Roxy drug her feet in cleaning her house, and selling the truck stop. Trever scolded her, but in the end it worked out for Roxy.
Ft. Hope was badly damaged, many people were killed, and ultimately the commanding general stepped down taking the blame for being ill prepared. The army changed it’s plans and closed Ft. Hope, and keeping Ft. Marshall open.
Michael was up for a possible promotion to a three star general. However Claudia Joy’s career once again took a backseat.
Pamela’s house did not weather the storm well, so she and the kids are staying with Roxy and Trevor. Tensions are already running high . . .
Denise imagined what life would have been like should Jeremy had lived. She played out the fantasy in her head, with them all growing old. It appeared Denise was going to live in this fantasy world forever, but at the very end woke up and came back to Frank.
No “Army Wife” was killed in the storm, or at least not one of the major cast members.
So my thoughts . . . .
I sat there wondering, worrying, through the two hours about who was going to die. Who would it be? Then nobody died! I guess on one hand I’m glad we didn’t lose a wife, but on the other it boils my blood when shows promote or tease the death of someone major . . . then they don’t follow through. I guess all they really said was “One wife won’t weather the storm” and we read too much into it.
All last season I expected Tonya to be pregnant. I guess Denise on some level hopes so too, as her fantasy world with Jeremy still alive hinted at them having kids. Perhaps Tonya will finally be revealed to be pregnant?
I felt horrible for poor Claudia Joy. Her career, her dreams, continue to take a back seat to Michael and the army.
I hope we get to see more of Finn’s dad this season! I really like him.
I don’t know what else to say? I love that my girls are back, and if this is the final season (as many expect) I will be sad. I guess the one story I’m really worried about them possibly doing this year is Michael’s David’s HIV status developing into full blown AIDS. I think it will destroy Joan!
Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
By Michael do you mean David?

I don’t think she will be pregnant, as it’s been 5 months now. She would at least have a small baby bump.
