Big Love - why no discussion?

I loved this show. I thought there would be more buzz than
this.

Daniel Damouth...

There doesn't seem to be much discussion of the HBO shows here.
Perhaps the most prolific posters don't subscribe.

I agree with Jorabi that "Big Love" becomes more engaging with each
episode.

The Sopranos "season finale", on the other hand, was a bit of a
disappointment.

Keith Baird...

Try over at alt.tv.hbo .

Anybody know if S2 is a given?

jayembee...

Like just about every other show on HBO the last several years, the
network ordered a second season almost the moment the first episode
hit the airwaves.

Daniel Damouth...

Yes, more episodes have been ordered.

Don Weinman...

I loved the show!

I am awaiting the next season ravidly!

( I wonder what the family surives given this eps ends....)

Anthony Cerrato...

It certainly is addictive. I do wish more people were
discussing it here--a few mormons would be great. I'm still

Arthur Lipscomb...

Try starting a poll after each new episode. That should promote discussion.

ANIM8Rfsk...

That trick NEVER works.

not clear on how the LDS church looks at/lives with the
polymygists, or the history behind it all. We're learning
more all the time tho, huh. ...tonyC

SoHillsGuy...

I've watched the first three episodes so far, and I'm still a bit on
the fence. Frankly, I just don't find any of the characters that
likeable, or very interesting.

(To be honest, I can't see having three wives at one time. The mere
scheduling alone would drive me mad.)

Steven L....

Makes you wonder how King Solomon managed. He had 1,000 wives.

I'm going to give it one more episode to win me over.

Jorabi...

Keep going ... it gets more interesting as it goes.

Oh, and I think I have read that another season has been ordered by HBO.

I noticed *three* Veronica Mars alums in the show. Lily Kane,
Mac and Beaver. Same studio?

Clifford Blau...

I don't think so. There was an interview with Rob Thomas, IIRC,
recently posted here, where he commented on the same thing. He just
took it as a compliment to their casting director.

Curse you, Don Tickles, Notary Public!

Dave Roy...

My main reason for liking the show is the wonderful cast and the
intrigue between Bill & Roman.

I like the characters well enough to appreciate the domestic plotlines
as well, but Roman is just awesome.

Jorabi...

Roman's great (as in very interesting character and acting by HDS).

Ken from Chicago...

Agreed. One of the best villains ever.

Bill's mother deserves the best supporting actress Emmy. She
steals every scene she's in. She's been around forever and has
always been good.

Dave Roy...

Especially last night! She was awesome. My wife and I couldn't stop
laughing, especially at her reactions to what her daughter-in-law did.

Lava...

Especially when she said I told you I didn't do it to Bill. Great writing.

Ken from Chicago...

At least she can't blame it only alien abduction.

Lava...

Hope this doesn't offend anyone. But I just can't buy the Morman Henchmen
thing.

Ken from Chicago...

Could you be more specific?

seerialmom...

Maybe because it's on a premium cable channel that not everyone has? :)
I know I liked the premise of the show but I'm not about to fork over
another $14 a month to watch it.

Ken from Chicago...

It's first-run opposite the hugely popular GREY'S ANATOMY and it got
overshadowed somewhat by the return of THE SOPRANOS--altho the polygamy
angle did get lots of buzz. Tho that tended to be more about polygamy and
less about the show itself.

What did you want to discuss?
