Big Love "Where There's A Will" 5/21/06



Spoiler:
The Henricksons' public stock is rising, as Barb finds herself a finalist for Mother of the Year, and Bill is asked to become the newest member of the Salt Lake City Leadership League. Meanwhile, the three wives mull over custody scenarios in their separate wills, but are chastened for their subterfuge when Hatcher spills the beans to Bill. Rhonda arrives from Juniper Creek for a histrionic spring-break stay, prompting sympathy from Sarah and Heather. Finally, Holloway finds that keeping secrets from Roman carries both risks and rewards.

I really enjoyed this one. Kept the Roman storyline, but gave same amount of times to the wives.

Even a guest appearance from guy from Chips.

I'm not gonna hang around for the lynching party, but this show has now lept past The Sopranos, Gilmore Girls, and even Veronica Mars as the show that I most look forward to watching.

Another excellent episode that has me both sad and excited about the upcoming season finale.

I hope that if Tina Majorino gets the full time job with VM next season that they want to give her, that her schedule will allow her to still do this show. She makes the most of very little.

They certainly do keep teasing us with the idea that the son is gonna hook up with Margie. He took a look at Brynn's short skirt and then looked in the front seat to the same short skirt on his "mom."

That's who that guy was. I knew he looked familiar but I couldn't place him.

I keep wondering what's going to happen on the season finale. It said "a family shattered" and Bill saying "what's happening to my wife". I keep thinking maybe someone will either get badly sick or someone will get arrested for polygamy (maybe Niki because of that neighborhood crime watch or because of Wendy finding out at Bill's work) and sent away to potentially break up the family. It has to be something bad as they'll want everyone hanging on their seats for next season.

I was sad to see someone in another thread say this show has lost 1/2 the viewers since the beginning. I think it's one of the best shows out there right now.

It is a shame if it lost viewers, but even I wasn't hooked until episode 3...now it's easily one of my favourite shows. Really liked the Rhonda storyline (if that bitch stole my iPod, I'd beat her ass...) and everything with Margene. She is easily my favourite character on the show. Can't wait for the finale.

I've stuck with it and I am glad I did. It just keeps building and building, and suddenly I realized there is more tension in BL than there is in the Sopranos these days.

Can't wait for the finale.

Yeah, Im more excited about this season finale than the Sopranos...I hope the next season does focus more on the family, because to me thats where the greatness of this show is. Before I started watching, I thought the Bill vs Roman thing would be what would carry this show imo, but now I wish they would end that plot and just stick with the family. In fact, Bill could just leave the show, and I could watch for hours the wives and they way they deal with each other and their respective families.

The wives are so much better then Roman/Bill crap right now, even the stuff with Barb's kids is better.

Love this show. Like it better than Sopranos which I never though could happen. It is so rare to find a show that is original and different and this is one. Also, for a family drama it has real suspense as someone mentioned. The characters are incredibly well drawn and interesting and not just the main characters but all the smaller players as well. And Romans 15 year old wife to be is just creepy. No, make that ultra creepy. No Melora this week though, but I hope this show builds an audience next year and stays around for a while. It is truly excellent and very interesting.

This was a great episode. I think by this point in the season, the writers and the actors have a real feal for the characters, and it shows. I still think they need to do a better job creating sympathetic characters who aren't in the family proper.

I popped in to say just that! She is hot on a few different levels. I think her naivety does something for me as well.

Not sure about the show, but I have my DVR set to record it still. I fast forwarded a lot last ep. It's good, just not gripping IMHO.

Hoping for the chick at Bill's work to cause a lil ruckus.

I've liked Ginnifer Goodwin since I saw her in "Win a Date with Tad Hamilton". I think I could watch an hour of Margene plant grass.

I think this show has that other blend of suspenseful drama that isn't found in anything else currently on TV. There are so many pitfalls in living this kind of life, and so far it hasn't gotten old yet.
