There have been many positive and negative comments that emerged from a range of people.
Six years later we thought we would have been saying goodbye to the cast and show that has captured many hearts around the world. Last week's Finale left many wondering if this was the end of the show or the end of the season. With a finale that left you hanging as to who was supposedly reported dead to General Holden we can only assume that Army Wives has a few more episodes left in it.
Needless to say, I think we know that we're saying goodbye to most of the original cast.
Army Wives has touched on many issues during its time on air that didn't necessarily give a solution to the problems that society, army wives and even non-army wives face on a day to day basis. Even in this
Finale episode yet again another "hot" topic in society was raised about sexuality. I'm not here to discuss what's right or wrong. But it is good that the show raises the issues so that they can be discussed openly. The show has allowed us to understand that you have to create a way to start the discussion, they showed us how to continue the conversation. They informed some of us of the things that happen in army life and provided ways that seemed find a solution at the time.
I started following Army Wives because of the familiar actors from some of my favorite shows; including Charmed and NYPD Blue. *I have a tendency to watch shows with the same actors.*
I grew to love this show because there was something real about the situations even if the setting was a little too perfect for reality. The writers did try to show the various situations that women at different "economic" levels go through. Most of all it showed that everyone has problems, regardless of what you have, don't have or who you are. What gets us through these problems are the people around us.
The finale of army wives was probably typical of any army unit -lots of unwanted change for many families in the Army, disruption of normal living, news of loved ones being killed and family decisions being placed on hold.
For many, Army Wives was a very cheesy, artificial show that was not realistic.
I beg to disagree - but each person has their own freedom to define anything.
Thank you Lifetime and I do hope this was not the end of a great series but just a season finale.
Looking forward to next season.
