OMG that has got to be the BEST episode of "Big Love" ** SPOILERS **
You know I know what Nikki did was wrong but damn, what about Margie's timing. Her insisting that Nikki 'fess up might tear apart the family

Edited on Sun Mar-08-09 10:03 PM by rainbow4321
I'm still having images of the ponytail in the cardoor and hearing "SNAP".
Only 3 episodes left :-( but I read that it has been renewed.

Weeds and Big Love are the only series that I watch nowadays.

On edit: well, those 2 and Lost..

4. Wow, Nikki went off the deep end
and Ray for all his strutting around threatening prosecution is in a bit of a pickle himself....damn, why did they have to kill off Kathy? She was my favorite character (and most realistic, imo, but that's another topic)...Bill getting double-crossed (unintentionally) by Don....Albie being decent to Nikki....and only 2 episodes left....yikes....

5. But Barb and Margie aren't innocent either
I realize that Margene was pissed her identity was being used in that plot that Nikki and Adaleen hatched up; however, her insistance that Nikki come clean probably put the family into deeper shit. Margene should have went to Bill first before dumping this all out in the open. Now Ray has a bone to pick with Bill & his family that could expose them.

And Barb's harsh treatment of her sister - well now her sister is getting revenge too. I'm guessing that the Hendrickson's are going to have to abandon Utah if they are to stay intact, which is probably why they wrote out Don's 2 extra wives (ironically written that it seems they are Lesbians). Bill is going to have to turnover Home Plus to Don and rely on the casino business to build his fortune.

6. But Barb's sister isn't an innocent bystander either
she's the one who treated Barb like garbage for years & then came back to Utah specifically to sabotage the casino business.

8. Yeah, Cindy might have the law on her side
but with that letter, Barb now has the Church on her side. That letter basically says that the Church never intended to abandon the Priciple. Cindy has treated Barb like shit forever and to see her beg so that Ted can advance in the hierarchy was sweet justice! Cindy can go piss up a rope! Go Barb!
That episode last night was great! To see Nikki go crawling home to Albie's house was very sad, but she got herself in a pickle. I don't recall Adaleen blackmailing her to spy. What's the story with that? Did Adaleen threaten Nikki or did Nikki just once again put Roman over Bill?
When Roman blew her off by saying that she "voted with her hands in the stairwell" I almost felt bad for her... But then I remembered that Nikki has been jeopardizing her married family all season with no remorse so I got over it quickly.
God, I love that show!!!

9. The "Blackmail" was from earlier in the show
Nikki found a bag of money at the compound and kept it. Adaleen knew about it and didn't turn her in but held it over her head. Ironically Nikki's share of the money was used to help payoff Rhonda from testifying.

I didn't realize that Adaleen was not the first wife (she's sixth). And i'm still trying to figure out Selma Green and that look she does with the mens suit. I mean Lois also cut her hair off and wears jeans but she still dresses like a woman whereas Selma pretty much crosses over into cross-dressing. I loved the irony of the big jabbing into Selma when Selma was doing that sealing - almost like the pig was reaching out to one of it's own.

And I'm finding a bit of concern that if this letter is about what Bill thinks it's about why would Alby and then the Greens want the letter. I mean Alby sold it to someone who wants to destroy the letter. Who knows what the Greens want to do with it but they are a bunch of sick fucks. And Bill hasn't read the official letter, he only read a photocopy of something written by that guy and a certification letter that verifies this same guy wrote another letter. We don't know if the letters are one and the same.

11. Oh yeah, I forgot about the money.
Nikki heard Bill say that the compound was a mess and there were tithes and other cash sitting around the UEB. When Bill called that board meeting to thwart Albie as the new prophet while Roman was healing, Nikki snuck in and stole a chunk of change. I forgot that Adaleen found out and was using that to keep her in line. I do remember Adaleen making Nikki fork it over to get rid of Rhonda.

This season has been a whirlwind! I've loved every episode so far. Margene cracks me up and Nikki continues to amaze. I'm glad they found out about the BC she was using. Sneaky bitch...
I hope Roman gets his due for kathy's death. He gets away with too much and it's time he paid. Albie needs to be outed and that horrid harridan of a wife of his needs to be taken down a few pegs.

Only two more eps and then we have to wait another whole year!

:cry:

12. But technically Roman didn't kill Kathy
It was really an accident - worst he could get was manslaughter.
