Army Wives, Ashes to Ashes

Army Wives

Title: Ashes to Ashes

Season 7, Episode 1

          The episode begins where the last episode began, with Michael Holden (Brian McNamara) saying “Oh my god!” In the next scene we find out that it wasn’t the plane going down, but that his wife, Claudia Joy Holden (Kim Delaney) had died. He goes to inform Denise Sherwood (Catherine Bell) who in turn informs everyone else.

          This was a very sad episode as you had to watch everyone come together and deal with the loss of Claudia Joy. The scenes between Michael and Emmalin Holden (Katelyn Pippy) were heart wrenching.  They could barely speak to each other half the time because of the high emotions.

          Great episode, but sad. I enjoyed seeing the old faces and getting to know the new people. I don’t know if I’ll continue to watch, I rarely do until the end, but I do hope they continue with the series.

          However, I foresee the end of Army Wives at the end of this season.

Bates Motel, Episode 1

Bates Motel

Title: First You Dream, Then You Die

Aired: March 18, 20

Stars: Vera Farmiga as Norma Bates

                    Freddie Highmore as Norman Bates

          Okay, so I couldn’t even sit through the whole episode. I had to DVR the episode because of the time it was on. I was working at the time and I wouldn’t be able to watch it, so I had to fast forward to get through to the end of the episode.

          It started out with Norman (Freddie Highmore) waking up and finding his parents missing, at first. As he goes through the house, he finds his father laying a pool of blood in the garage and he can’t find his mother. Norman’s mother, Norma Bates (Vera Farmiga), was in the shower. I figure his mother killed his father so that she could have Norman all to herself.

          That’s all I can say about this.
