Subject: Well, another amazing episode of "Army Wives" last night...
First off, who didn't love Denise last night. I'm sorry folks, but Frank still doesn't rank very high on my list. While yes later on when he saw Denise in action he had a change of heart, he was a complete (pardon my french) prick to her most of the show. Man that guy is so self absorbed and selfish. Everything is all about him. I was so proud of Denise for the way she handled him and did what she wanted and needed to do for herself. She is just so coming into her own and explaining and expressing what she needs and wants. I have to say that after watching all the other husbands, Frank is about as warm and loving as a cold dead fish...LOL. I was glad that he told her he wasn't going to fight her and that she looked so different, vital and focused he almost didn't recognize her. And that he remembered why he fell in love with her, what would it have taken for him to get off his chair and take her in his arm and hug and hold her and tell her that stuff and maybe kiss her. I will give him credit for stating that Jeremy was gone because of him and he didn't want to be the reason Denise left too, but man that guy needs to lose the military protocol at home and treat his wife like the woman he loves and show her. They way he left the message on her cell phone just irked me. I'm thinking Denise isn't gettin any at home, only on Franks terms...LOL. Hence the comment "I'm speechless" at the Hump bar in the previews when Roxy's talking about her and Trevor not having sex for the first time one night. I laughed my butt off. Well I'm proud of Denise again for taking matters into her own hands and trying to spice things up and taking on a new look with her new attitude and is going to seduce Franky boy. I just hope he's receptive...LOL. "Go D Girl".
O.K. Lenore Baker, what a bi***. The actress who plays her does the character so well. I knew what Claudia Joy's secret was beforehand, but it was really played well and Kim did a wonderful jobs with the emotional scene at the end. And I have to say I'm starting to like Michael a little better each week. It's very obvious he adores his wife and he starting to smile a little more each week and show he takes care of his own. I like the way he has Joan's back.
Roland and Joan I have a feeling are in for a bumpy road ahead especially when he tells her. I think the patient in his office talking about his cheating wife gave Roland some food for thought and about coming clean. I see struggles ahead for these too, but maybe it'll go better than I think it will.
It was nice to see Pamela and Chase being a family unit for the 36 hours he was home. I think Chase is really realizing what he has in Pamela and is trying to be that guy she was talking about to Roxy whom she first married. Loved his plan of not going out, not letting anyone in and it just being the four of them until he had to leave again. And I also loved how he told Pamela she was his rock and he didn't want to lose her. I'm starting to like Chase better as time goes on as well.
Again just another amazing episode which went entirely too fast and look forward to next weeks episode. Can you belive there are only 4 left :o(.
Take Care! :o)

Great post KH, love your sense of humour LOL! I just noted only 4 eppys to go, on the CB board! I am so looking forward to CB's comedic side next week. I'm smiling just thinking about it. Frankie boy (love that moniker) is not going to know what hit him! D-girl really ran that code like a pro. Glad that Frank got to see it first hand. His wife's desire to pursue nursing should have been enough, but some people need visual aids. (A picture is worth a thousand words, and Frank got a doozie!) CJ again nailed the scene recalling that horrific event. I am so enjoying this series and love the fast pace of the stories. Life often comes at you from all directions and many balls are being kept airborn. Just love the cast. The acting on all fronts is SUPERB. The storylines week after week, are gems! -- Jubellant, 08:41:05 07/30/07 Mon [1]

Frank still has a long way to go to redeem himself in my eyes..After that 1st scene with Denise & Frank, where he TOLD Denise she'd better be with him at the dinner & it was all about him, I called my Twinny & we both said at the same time what an a** Frank is! Then we proceeded to stay on the phone for the rest of ep taking turns at the commercials complaining about Frank, LOL!! I was satisfied to see Frank at the end acknowledge Denise's desire to work, but would it of killed him to give his wife a hug or tell her how much he loves her & respects her? No he still made it about him, I don't want to be the reason you leave...Give Denise some credit! Quit treating your wife like a subordinate! I know Frank is acknowledging certain things, but he still has a long way to go. Inside.. -- Jennifer, 08:55:31 07/30/07 Mon [1]
I'm glad Denise didn't back down, & told him that she had to do it for HER! Frank needs to quit taking everything as an attack against him, & realize that Denise's self esteem is important. I'm glad Michael has faith in Joan, its nice to see her as his XO....I'm not sure what's going to happen with Roland and Joan, Roland seems standoffish & closed off, whereas Joan is really trying to communicate.
I'm glad it was Chase who sent the flowers to Pamela, and not the teacher. Chase has sorta redeemed himself, and I was glad at least this time he got a chance to say good-bye to Pamela before he left.
I really felt for Claudia Joy...who amongst us hasn't driven when they are really tired? I know I have, and she had a stupid, horrible accident because of it. Something obviously she's lived with for every day, and to have someone like bitchy Lenore Baker try to use it against her makes me mad. And Marilyn really has room to talk, considering she's cheating on her husband with her holier-than-know attitude....
Next week looks interesting....Not sure if I feel Frank is worth the effort that Denise is obviously going to go to...I know Denise loves him, but I'm not sure with his recent attitude he's worth it....I don't want to see the show turn into a sex-fest, its not necessary IMHO, and I hope I'm wrong but don't want to see this kind of stuff week after week...If I did, I'd watch Desperate Housewives or the daytime soaps LOL! I like the friendships, and you could tell the bond between Denise and Claudia when Claudia told them her secret.....
Oh well that's about it! I'm really glad to see Denise standing on her own, and loved the way she took charge in the ER and saved that woman's life....

Frank drives me nuts. When he ordered Denise to go with him, I literally choked on my ice tea. He tried the diplomatic approach but when that didn't work as he expected it to, and probably as it had worked in the past, he resorted to pulling rank. Well, I hate to break it to you Frank there is no rank in your house. I love how Denise didn't fight him or back down, she just simply stated that she was going to work, then kissed his cheek and left. He was shocked. I can definitely see where Jeremy gets his abusive tendencies. Frank doesn't hit Denise, but he tries to over power her just the same. I wonder what would have happened if Frank had dragged Denise out of the hospital like he said he was going to. That wouldn't have boded well for his career now would it. -- Theresa, 09:52:20 07/30/07 Mon [1]

I don't know enough about Frank's background to judge him, nor do I know what age he went into the army. In his case he may be just parroting what he has lived. When he knows better hopefully he will do better. I'd like to have faith in D-girl's choice of a life partner. Hopefully she saw in him what is not so apparent to us. I found it strange that except for Roland saying CJ's experience could have happened to anyone, Denise was the only other person that showed support. Roxie and Pamela looked dumbfounded. I can't believe they said nothing. At first Roland seemed to relate well with CJ when they were rocking Pamela's babies but lately Denise seems to be whom he is relating to. Michael sure has done a 180 as far as Joan is concerned and I'm glad. She really needs someone in her corner. -- Jubellant, 09:30:54 07/30/07 Mon [1]

Ok I am w. Jubes on this ... yes Frank was not exactly being all sweet and all at the beginning- I loved loved D-girl's response of a kiss on the cheek and leaving. But I think Jubes is right-we dont know Frank's background and why he is so rigid-was he brought up this way? Who knows? But I did see some redeeming parts to Frank last nite inside for length.... -- Kristen, 14:38:11 07/30/07 Mon [1]
he told Denise he was proud of her and that he saw who she was for the first time in a long time-yes he sooo could have gotten up to give her a hug or kiss -but this is progress that Frank seems to be making... as for D-girl- SOOO PROUD OF HER!!!! You go girl!!! The previews look HYSTERICAL- I was crying w. laughter when they showed everyone's response to Roxy and Trevor and then they pan over to Denise and she says "Im speechless" I LOST IT LOL!!!! CB AND COMEDY GOOD MATCH!!!! :-) As for CJ, I am sorry but she needs to get Denise to try her new boxing skills on her- what a BIT%$!!!! CJ made a mistake-yes a fatal mistake but it wasnt out of spite or hate- I mean I know when I was younger and would stay out late I was stupid and would drive home- even have closed my eyes twice- now I make sure I have another driver or I crash with friends. As for Chase- I like hime so much more now :-) GREAT SHOW!!!!!!!! KEEP IT UP!!!!!!!! :-)

I'm not sure how background really makes that much of a difference. Either you're someone who respects your spouse or you're not. Look at Trevor. How many of us are exactly like our parents? Or have houses set up exactly like our parents households? I know mine's not. People choose to be the kind of people that they are. -- Theresa, 15:10:37 07/30/07 Mon [1]

Background does make a difference as to what we model or don't model our lives after. My Dad's parents moved to the States leaving two children behind and intending to send for them once they got settled. (My Dad was around 5) His parents went on to having 5 other children finances were tough and his father died young and they never got sent for. My Dad, left to fend for himself was not thrilled with the situation he was left in and felt he would have a better opportunity living and working with someone else. Needless to say certain family skills were lacking on his part. Growing up there were certain behaviours I wasn't thrilled about but knowing what was lacking in his formative years at least allowed me to be more forgiving. So yes, background can make a huge difference! -- Jubellant, 09:23:10 07/31/07 Tue [1]

Okay, someone's background can affect people, but they can choose whether it affects them positively or negatively. Frank chooses not to be respectful and an ass to his wife. Just like Jeremy chose to be an abuser regardless of his background. Background may make a difference, but it doesn't dictate your life. You're either strong enough to rise above adverse things, or wise enough to cling to the things that are good about your childhood, but every choice is yours. -- Theresa, 10:11:25 07/31/07 Tue [1]

Frank is delusional, he actually believes he knows what's best. He almost acts like a parental figure to Denise instead of an equal. I love how she handles him though. That kiss on the cheek was priceless. It said it all. I care about you but I am doing this. I definitely would not have been so cool headed!! Your statement about clinging to what was good about your childhood (that's if you had one). Some kids are forced into being responsible at an early age. If you have been used to fending for yourself and making your own decisions the idea of collaborating seems foreign to you. You would probably have to suffer a few hard knocks in life to realize that this might not be the best way to get what you want. -- Jubellant, 10:52:21 07/31/07 Tue [1]

Maybe Frank isn't such an a$$. Maybe he was just used to making all the decisions without question from day one. Maybe this was Denise's first time making waves and he's not used to that. On some level Denise must know that because she handled him with unheard of patience and calm. LOL! So just as Denise had to adjust to the changes within herself, Frank needs a minute to come up to speed and make the same adjustment to now having a real partner. Bet he'll eventually find he loves the new Denise all the more. I'll give him two episodes to catch up, and then decide what I really think of him. Now Roland? He gets one more. LOL! -- Carrotts, 13:33:46 07/31/07 Tue [1]

I would agree that Frank isn't such an ass if he hadn't ordered Denise to go with him and say she has to. And if he hadn't come to the hospital intending to drag her out of there. I can see him not liking it because it's not what he's used to, but even after she talked to him about it he didn't accept it because it wasn't what he wanted. That's being an ass. Frank and Denise don't really know each other very well. She seemed surprised when he said he was going to drag her out of the hospital. He seemed surprised that she was vital and active and good at being a nurse. He was right to realize that he would drive her away too if he didn't back off and let her be herself. -- Theresa, 16:45:13 07/31/07 Tue [1]

I think he may have switched to work mode and what he would do when orders weren't obeyed in the field. That might have been his only point of reference. He might have intended to drag her out in his head but in reality I doubt even in his state of mind he would have done it even if she had been on a coffee break.. well, okay maybe it would have gotten ugly had she been on a coffee break. Whew, glad she wasn't. :-0 -- Carrotts, 17:29:19 07/31/07 Tue [1]
