Season Six will premier on March 4th! That’s only a little over a month away. Woohoo!

*Update* Below is the new trailer for the season which leaves a huge question . . .

Will one wife not survive? Who could it be? I can’t see them off’ing one of their core characters. Perhaps just some random wife on the base we’ve never met?

This trailer is different than one I just saw tonight in a movie theater (I have searched, I can’t find it online). In it we learn a hurricane (I believe they call it Nadine) is headed for the base and surrounding area.

The army is working to help evacuate the town. Roxy is shown trying to get to shelter with her boys. It seems her car flips. Pamela is first on the scene and calls it in, two boys and a female seriously injured.

Trevor is desperately searching for Roxy (who he told to get to shelter). He gets to their house and she’s not there. It seems he gets a call . . .

We later get a glimpse of Roxy in the hospital, she’s pretty badly hurt. We also see Denise standing in front of a window in the hospital which explodes and she’s thrown to the ground.

So last night was the season finale of “Army Wives.” There is going to be a sixth season, all be a shorter one at the moment based on the initial episode order (13 episodes). Last nights finale probably was supposed to serve as a series finale, should it have not been picked up.

Witt returned to help Roxy fix issues with the Truck Stop. It also opened up a conversation Roxy and Trevor had with the boys about their biological fathers, after Finn overheard the truth about Witt. A touching scene, which does open up the possibility of T.J.’s father being seen at some point . . . even though Roxy told him the guy was not a nice man.

Joan and David finally bonded in this episode, with him calling her mom.

Denise helped Tonya accept that Jeremy was gone, and that it was okay to move on with her life and be happy. She never said she was pregnant . . . . but with another season there is still time!

The main story was the trouble General Holden and Pamela ended up in after a disgruntled police employee in the evidence room released a partial tape from a cruiser dash cam which appeared to show a drunk Michael having trouble walk the line. After a lot of drama, Michael and Pamela were both cleared. Michael was not drunk, the short clip was out of context, his troubles were due to a back injury acting up.

The show ended with the news that Fort Marshall would be closing and their division was being disbanded and reorganized. The final scene all involved the wives (and Roland) agreeing to meet once a year no matter where they ended up. Pamela revealed she and Chase would be moving to California, Chase had a job offer there. Frank had been put up for a job in Italy. Claudia Joy pointed out the base wasn’t closed yet, it would be at least 6 months before they really had to say goodbye . . . .

My guess is the sixth (and maybe final?) season will deal with the closing of the base and the wives going their separate ways.

So next week is the season finale of “Army Wives.” I’m not sure where they are going with all the stories, but have some guesses.

Denise returned to work at the base hospital and was stunned to see Tonya there. Tonya claimed she decided not to leave the army and go to college as planned, she had been assigned to finish her current rotation out here. Denise kept trying to get her to come over, or go out to dinner. Tonya made excuses, but at the end came to see Denise crying how all alone she felt. I am just waiting for her to reveal she’s pregnant. I have felt that’s been coming this whole time.

Pamela’s evaluation with Boone continued, and she aced it. She also let him know, finally, she didn’t like this new girl he was seeing, he could do better. A tense shoot-out at a drug house made the news, and Chase got worried about Pamela. He “finally” understood how she must have felt this whole time with him on Delta. He has been offered a job in LA doing private security stuff, and suggests they move out there. Of course this probably won’t fly with Pamela. The first time she’s in danger and he wants her to give up her job? She never actually wanted Chase to leave the Army, just Delta so he could actually be home more than he was. I have a feeling things aren’t going to be left pretty for these two come the finale. Feels a bit like Deja Vous!

I’m not sure where they are going with the Burton’s and David. I’m going to guess that he’s going to get beat up by the kids at school, leading to an HIV scare.

Finally both Michael and Emmalynn are struggling at work and school. I wasn’t that interested in their storylines. The left things with a shocker in the last episode, having it appear that Michael was about to be busted for a DWI. However he wasn’t. Where is their storyline going? I am guessing Michael will consider leaving the army. I also wonder if Chandler will be back for the finale. What was the point of creating that drama, when it went nowhere?

So here are my thoughts on Sunday’s “Army Wives” episode . . . .

Roxy, and the rest of the base, got the news that the men and women were coming home. Roxy realized real fast she was screwed and quickly made up with Pamela after their fight last week. She did her best to get rid of Whit, but her partner wouldn’t have it. Before she could tell Trevor, he of course found out. He exploded on her, and decked Whit . . . who finally left. While Trevor had a right to be pissed, I think he went WAY over the line. He was calling her a slut in her place of business, and frankly I thought he was about to hit her honestly. Something else is clearly wrong with him, as even before this he was unable to perform his duties in the bedroom.

Michael learned the truth and the whole truth from Claudia Joy, about the cancer scare and what Grant did. He too was pissed, but with Grant for taking advantage of his wife at a delicate time for her. He warned Grant that he’d be watching him! I hope Grant doesn’t end up dead in the near future!

Finally Joan and Roland decided to try and foster an older child, with Roland having a boy in mind. However as his mother was a patient, sent away for rehab, there was a conflict of interest. The show ended with Roland and Joan surveying the local foster home playground and seeing all the boys and girls who needed good homes. My fear here is they will get one, fall in love, but the parents will come back before they can adopt him or her.

The news broke today that Lifetime has renewed Army Wives for a 13 episode Season 6!

Posted by Dustin on 05.02.2011 at 5:37 pm

“Army Wives” has been a little slow lately for me. Hopefully the upcoming return of the men, I.E. Michael and Trevor, things will pick up a little.

Oh *Spoiler Alert!* It looks like Tonya Gabrielle will be returning before the season ends. Can we assume she’s pregnant?

Anyways, in this episode Roxy and Pamela went head to head over Whit’s increased involvement in Roxy and the boys life. Pamela felt Roxy was feeling confused with Trevor gone and with the problems over the truck stop, and Whit’s presence was making it worse for her. She convinced Whit to leave, which infuriated Roxy.

I gotta say, I’m annoyed with how Trevor is acting, and I am liking Whit a lot. I hope he sticks around, no matter how complicated it makes things. Oh and Trevor may be a soldier, but he is scrawny compared to Whit . . . so if he tries to pick a fight . . . Things could get really ugly!

Claudia Joy finally got two pieces of good news in her life in this show. She doesn’t have cancer and Michael is coming home. Of course if comes on the heels of Grant Chandler laying a big smooch on her at the office. Oh dear!

The other story in this episode dealt with Joan learning to get pregnant again could be high risk, so she and Roland finally decided to adopt.

So this is a quick post on last night’s TV shows. I watched so much TV last night it’s quickly becoming a blur.

On “Desperate Housewives” the revelation about Andrew killing Mama Solis came out. Carlos forgave him as he was a kid, and blames Bree. Oh dear! Bree just keeps getting one blow after another this season. How long before she’s back on the bottle?

Felicia moved back to the lane and has tried to fool Paul into thinking they can put the past behind them, but she has big plans for him. Paul better watch out. The show only has 3 more episodes left, and then a two hour finale. Supposedly we’ll be left with yet another death on the lane!

On “Brothers and Sisters” they dropped two bombs on us. First, Brody lied and in fact may be Sarah’s father! William put him up to it, and Brody fled town not wanting to hurt Nora anymore than he had. Justin found out and wanted him to come clean. Oh my! The second bomb was predicted, Scotty and Kevin’s surrogate had the baby it seems.

OMG! If we now have to deal with a kidnapped kid and them searching for baby that may or may not be theirs I’ll scream!

“Army Wives” was pretty much a filler episode. Pamela and Chase got married again, which was the majority of the show. Roxy and Trevor’s marriage remains on the outs thanks to Roxy pushing forward with the Truck Stop. I hate the way Trevor is acting honestly, though Roxy brining an ex back in to help her is a bad move too. I hope they don’t wreck their marriage.

The OMG moment of “Wives” was when Claudia Joy got the news of a tumor on her ovary. Seriously, how much crap can this woman take? Poor Claudia Joy!

Finally I tuned into HBO’s new show “Game of Thrones” last night. WOW! I was really impressed. Love me some epic fantasy shows. I actually have the first book and meant to read it, but only got through the first chapter. I’ll just add it to the pile of books I have to read that I now watch the shows they are based on!

So the latest episode of “Army Wives” had the various families reacting to Jeremy’s death.

Tonya has, we guess, returned home to her parents, as she was nowhere to be found. Denise meanwhile couldn’t take it anymore and split with Molly. She blamed herself for giving Jeremy permission to reenlist. Claudia Joy found her checked into some B&B she mentioned she liked a lot. Denise told her she was not coming home. Oddly enough, and I know this is kinda horrible to say, but I’ve been feeling more for other characters on the show and not Denise. I don’t know, maybe she’s still in shock and hasn’t let herself break down the way Frank has, or the way Roland did in this episode.

Roland cracked in this episode. He too felt to blame, and was trying to keep other soldiers from returning to duty by denying their clean bills of mental health. At the end of the episode he lost it when his daughter put on mommy’s beret. It was the heartbreaking scene of this episode.

Michael, talking to some civilian contractor who was assessing the readiness of the Afghan army, mentioned that he didn’t think they were ready and they needed a larger American Forces presence here. They guy talked to a paper about this, and though he didn’t name Michael, everyone in the top brass knew it was him. Michael lost his promotion and says he doesn’t think he’ll get anymore opportunities in the future . . . he’s hit at far as he’s going to go in the Army . . . OUCH! I almost am worried they might be writing Michael out of the Army soon.

Roxy went against Trevor’s wishes and invested in the Truck Stop with another guy. Trevor was not happy, saying they don’t know where they’ll be in 6 months, so why invest in another business? I think this was Roxy’s way of dealing with her fears about losing Trevor. This at least gave her some sense of security, which Trevor’s job could not.

Finally Pamela and Chase decided to reunite and even remarry, which they told the kids. That makes me very worried honestly . . . . I get they have a history, but this is coming on very fast. Maybe a little too fast.
