hadn't seen her since The Practice when she amazing. Beautiful woman. I was so happy to see her pop up on show (I binged it all on Netflix in six weeks). as a guy, I actually turned off this show about three minutes after I turned it on about six months ago on Netflix. Then, for some reason, I went back to it and checked it out and was hooked about 2/3 way into first season (can you say BINGE watch!). As a perfectly normal male (occasionally old-fashioned and a former army officer), it amazed me to have to admit to myself that the reason I kept watching was "the sisterhood." Female strength, as you highlight, is a powerful thing and it was particularly attractive to me when packaged within army life context. Sometimes I even got impatient with the male characters not having the substance and depth of the femmes but that was the emphasis of the show - and it worked for me. Put it this way, if this had been reality, ole Roland was the luckiest man in the world being around this bevy of strong beauties bonding, fighting together, holding each other, crying often (men have tear ducts, too), getting stronger in face of tsunamis of pain and irreversible loss. brilliant concept. wish they could have gradually let it roll into inevitable newer characters and gone on for a few more years with some guest appearances (and maybe come backs if Brigid or Sally's gigs didn't work out). wasn't meant to be, I guess, but if I ever marry, I'll have a great show to recommend we watch together. Miss these ladies already.

it would have been good to give the new plot line one more year to see how it developed. It began to have promise and they had barely enough of the old timers to help continuity, but it began to work for me toward the end of season 7. If they hadn't delayed deciding on season 7, they could've kept Roxy and Trevor and they might have been able to stretch 7 into 8. Kim's loss was bad but Roxy and family going made it real hard.
