Big Love "Home Invasion" 3/26/06
Spoiler:
And yes, this episode has been on Comcast all week On Demand. I'm waiting for the HD feed tonight, though. Let's keep spoilers out of this thread until the epsidoe airs tonight. Thanks!

I thought this was a pretty good ep as well. I watched in last night. This show has certainly been a great showcase for Harry Dean Stanton. I can't remember for sure the last thing I saw him in, but I've thought that he has been so great on this show.
But I have really mixed views on this show. It's definitely done well and I think the acting is really strong. But most of the characters really creep me out, and yet I'm still drawn to watch it.

I should have just waited to watch it in HD tonight, but I have 0% self-control...This show just gets better and better as they continue to flesh the characters out more.

Is divorce even an option?
What, exactly IS the marital status in regards to polygamy? I'm sure THEY would insist that marriage is a religious institution, and not a legal one, but I have to wonder if marriage licences were filed. Is it just a case of ceremonies bening performed without papers being filed? If the church recognizes the other marriages but the government doesn't, is there anything a lawyer can do to claim alimony?
So what's the official consesus here - was the iPod stolen or given as a gift? (Would she even know how to use it without someone showing her? Does she have access to a computer to download?)
And who else is impressed to learn that Tower sells DVDs AND videos!

I think she stole the ipod. Earlier in the episode she was talking about New York and stuff. Also, Chloe's mom on the series said something about materialism, so I think Harry Dean Stanton doesn't give his wives shit while he's driving around in a hummer with gps.
Also, did anyone else think of Aliens when Bill Paxton was freaking out because his second wife was throwing the party at a hotel? It's just reminded me so much of his whole "we're screwed man" speech.

I get the feeling that there may be something going on with The youngest wife and the oldest son. Or that it may be headed in that direction.

Ok, so now we know that the Prophet has 15% of the business because he bailed Bill out of financial trouble when Wife #1 had cancer.
Wife #2 is a fuck up, who was brought in to babysit, and wanted a family so bad, that she begged to be in on it

you mean wife #3 was a babysitter...
Finally this show is really working for me. I didn't HATE the first two episodes, but they didn't grab me...now after this episode, I'm in for the ride. The look on Wayne's face at his birthday was hilarious... "did my mother invite any children to my party?". Chloe Sevigny still bugs the shit out of me and her character, like her mother said, really does deserve a good beating, hopefully Bill will give her one sometime.
Margine is HOT and something may be brewing with the son (I mean, come on, if that was your stepmom, you'd hit it). Looking forward to next week.

I thought it was silly though to have the pony set off the alarms at the end.
So we are expected to believe that the people (looked like that lady in the cowboy outfit) that brought the pony for the party just forgot about it and left it there?!

I keep watching the show, but am not sure I'd watch it if it wasn't on right after the Sopranos. Cox on Demand had episode #3 available and I didn't bother with it until the regular broadcast.

I kinda thought from last weeks episode that he(the oldest son) and his friends were secret partners. Since his friend became so jealous of the girl at the drive in. He does seem very interested in Margine though, makes sense since they can't be that far apart in age,and I apologize for sounding sexist, but is one fine piece of ass.

When the show started someone said that the show was a non-judgemental look at polygamy. I think they lied, because if what Bill Paxton went through last nite doesn't say do not have more than one wife, I don't know what does.

I just don't get this show... I like it & I get the storyline. But I'm just finding myself not really being entertained. I've watched all 3 episodes twice, but it just seems, blah.

I tend to agree.

Either way, I will keep watching though, as it is at least something fresh, and because there aint a damn thing else on in that time slot that I would watch (7 pm here with DirecTV).
