Big Love : "Empire" 1/25/09

Spoiler:
Rated TVMA: ADULT CONTENT, ADULT LANGUAGE

Running Time: 58 minutes

Genre: Drama

Bill and his family test out the group-dating waters with Ana, with mixed results. Bill presses ahead with his unlikely courtship of Jerry Flute, despite a sizable expense, a crisis in Don's family, and an apparent gaffe by Margene. Barb anxiously awaits test results from the hospital, while Nicki goes to a fertility clinic already knowing the result. Scott encounters unexpected resistance from Sarah when he offers to join her in Arizona. Roman puts the squeeze on Bill in an attempt to track down Rhonda, one of his would-be accusers. Frankie reveals a side few expected when he takes Sarah and her friends to a crash pad for young wayward polygamists. Frank visits Lois with new sisterwife Jodean/Kathy, and ends up staying longer than expected. (TVMA) (AC,AL)

Looking forward to some group dating!

Another good episode! Obviously Barb was looking for someone (Anna) to be her replacement of sorts since she thought she was dying, and now that she's fine, she doesn't seem all too happy that these things are in motion.

I was a little confused over what was going on at that house for wayward teens. Did the government put the kids from the polygamist colony there? And who did Sarah's friend think she had a crush on? That scene confused me the most.

We're only two episodes in, but I think we may see the opening of their new Casino OR Anna being proposed to in the last episode.

The stuff with Barb was great.

They thought she had a crush on Opie.. Rhonda's Fella.

It wasn't a house for wayward teens, it was a house owned by someone kicked out of the compound. Other kids in the same situation had gathered there. It reminded me of the period where Amish kids are allowed to go crazy for a bit.

I thought it was funny that the one couple received the blessing, and then 8 months later they had twins. So, they were pregnant before the blessing.

'nother good episode.

The dinner with Anna was really good and Margie's speech to the Indian guy proved she's no pushover and it looks like Sarah's preggers. Sucks for her. Somethin' tells me that family isn't down for an abortion.

Well, twin gestations rarely go to term, so I took it to be they conceived right away. I guess it could be either.

That's what I was thinking during that scene. He is Bill's half-brother.


I thought it was a good episode.

She referred to him as her uncle at the restaurant.

Re: Big Love : "Empire" 1/25/09

That scene at the "crazy" house was a bit weird. So Sarah has a crush on her "uncle"? At first I took it to mean that the uncle has a crush on Rhonda, and Sarah's comment didn't lead me to believe she liked him that way, but then her friend made the comment indicating that she did. I figured she would be pregnant based on what happened at the end of last season. I'll also add that I think Amanda Seyfried is very cute
