Hi guys! Remember me? I got permission from super fabulous inmyheadx2 to do a weekly Army Wives discussion post. It's Tuesday, but I figured since we're three episodes in, a couple of days late couldn't hurt, right? Besides, I'm itching to talk about it.

WARNING: This post discusses the newest episode of the hit Lifetime TV series, Army Wives. If you are

I loved that Finn's imaginary friend was also there for Claudia Joy. When he first appeared outside the church I thought he was going to be an angel, but I liked the imaginary friend slant a lot better.

Has Pamela gotten a new radio show? Since the season started she's been doing emotional talk shows, which wasn't what she was hired to do... did I miss somewhere that she has a new thing going on, or did they just stick that in there to be a narrative for the episodes?

In the last couple of episodes of season one, we see a super-stressed Pamela driving into the PX parking lot, only to be cut off by a guy who does NOT look military. She goes off, and he asks her her name. The next day, she greets him in uniform and he tells her to meet him at the post radio station. When she gets there, he said she has a big mouth and wants to offer her an unpaid position to be on-air. She haggled him a bit, got herself some pay, and day-care and food benefits.

So that's why she's sort of been narrorating. She's been doing it for, oh, probably four of five episodes now, including the newest three.

I like the imaginary friend slant too :)

Oh I know she had the old radio program. But that one was more about ranting and getting call in ideas for improving life for wives on post. Her new program is all talk and much more touchy feel-y. I was wondering if the whole slant of her program has changed to give the writers of the show a way to narrate, or will she go back to her old program eventually? Anyone know?

I think the this seasons' radio shows started with the hump bar boombing. I can imagine that something that big happening on post would be the talk of the town. I'm pretty sure she'll lighten up some as time goes on, unless another crazy tragedy happens.

emotionally involved is correct!! it's kinda like taking pleasure from pain. lol i watch because what my civilian friends can't give me is similarity in relationships, you know, the whole "oh my guy does that too!" bond. anyway it gets me through the week.

and pamela's radio show, wasn't she given that job to liven up the day to day news? but on the first episode of this season she mentions that she's talking during odd hours, not during her regular time. i think they've managed to mesh the two together at this point. i'm not too sure.

i really thought that the whole crush on claudia joy was really really cute. and i can't wait for next week's episode! holy crap!

Watching Arm Wives makes me want to go have sex with my husband haha.

[dreamer1985]

i have to second that , i thought i was the only one

[hello_blondie]

OMG agreed!!!!!! Well not with your husband...With my boyfriend... hahaha

[sinonmybody]

haha me too... and yet at the same time, it also manages to calm down my frustration at NOT being able to have any...

I thought Finn's crush on Claudia Joy was so adorable! I couldn't even help from laughing when he asked her out and when he was calling Roxy over during their date to give him money.

I loved the whole idea of Harry being Finn's imaginary friend. I knew that he'd end up being some sort of figment of imagination sort of thing, but I think it tied in really well with Finn's crush and all.

As a side note - am I the only one who thinks Claudia Joy's actress has had some collagen injections in her lips? Or her top lip at very least. It looks like it to me and there's definitely a difference from last season.

[moderndayhippie]

yes on the collagen! that was one of the first things I noticed. I think Denise got it done too. They look better without it.

[immaturity]

Yeah, Denise looks like she's had some too but her results aren't as noticeable. Claudia Joy kind of looks like she has a permanently swollen upper lip.

[moderndayhippie]

You're right, Claudia Joy's is way worse. She is beautiful without it. i hate how all the actresses are pressured to look younger than they are.

atleast she didnt' get it anywhere else!

[stefbino]

Finn asking Claudia Joy out was the cutest thing ever.

The whole Harry thing was creepy at first but I liked how it played out. I'm glad Claudia Joy is finally dealing with the death of Amanda a little better.

This episode was a little slow and for once I didn't shed one tear. lol
