Wow this weeks episode was intense. Like all family situations, when in close quarters everyone's sanity gets lost the longer they are together. And this Sunday the truth came out for everyone. Bill is trying to find his way through his family with his beliefs; Nicki's secret with her birth control came to light along with her own unpredicted crush becoming grander with the lawyer that tried to put her father in jail; Margene had naked time with Ben and she finally coped with her drunken mothers death; Ben's sexual arousal by the indescent moment is put to light; Sarah's pregnancy comes to a halt quickly after its reveal; Teeny needs a make over....and Barb is suffering for all the drama in her family.
This had been a roller coaster of a season and I cannot wait to see next Sundays episode. I was also thinking about how much of a risk taker HBO is on placing this show on a Sunday time slot. Really on the mother of all mothers of a day of religion. I really do come to appreciate the balls on the network..really bravo. I have been following this show with so much intrigue since its inception to television and it really keeps getting better and better. If you have not seen it yet I will recap it for you.
Big Love revolves itself on the complexities of religion, the main course being Mormonism. It sheds a small light on this complex religion (complex cause i dont get it, im kinda catholic) and its affect on Bill Henrickson's family. He is an outcast of sorts having been thrown out of the compound as a young boy but remained true to his upbringing beliefs. He has been trying to become a money maker and a true Mormon no matter the society he lives in. (also called the "real world" in my eyes)
If you havent seen it try and catch up you might enjoy it.
