Big Love not going to be Recaped by Television Without Pity
Submitted by SiteMod on Mon, 01/19/2009 - 08:07.
Television Without Pity (TWoP)is a large tv forums site where much good conversation about not only Big Love, but polygamy in general, has been going on the past couple of years. As of last week Big Love has been put on PH status, for Permanent Hiatus. This is really a shame as that leaves just one board under DRAMAS for all Big Love post. Last season each episode generated hundreds, if not thousands, of posts.
If any of our members here would like to post a recap of the ten episodes this year, we could start some back and forth discussion on the show.
Thoughts?

I watch it...Big Love is literally the only reason I pay for HBO .
Anything I can do??
don't know what TWoP is, though, sorry:-(
We would like to have a recap
Holy2:
Can you post a brief description here of each episode as you watch them, so we can discuss and stay up with the show?
It would be most helpful to this idea for a forum if someone could do that.

Big Love forum
Hi, I think a forum about Big Love would be great, I saw the first two seasons and love them. Unfortunatly, I no longer have HBO, but I would enjoy everyone telling about the new season
good idea
I for one would welcome this forum, as it would generate a place/topics for discussion. Unfortunately I can not initiate such conversation as I do not get HBO, put I certainly would enjoy participating.
Season 3 - Episode 5: For Better of for Worse
OK, even though I came into this late I am going to take a stab at it. WOW, what an episode and it hit so close to home with what just recently happened in my own big love life.
Ana, so sweet and so sexy but tough lady too - you can tell she has not had a sheltered life. And at long last the much anticipated and expected nuptials have taken place. All seemed to be going so well, but alas it was not to be. As often happens also in the real world things did not mesh right and Ana left the family. You could see there was a lot of sadness with her departure, for her, Bill, and the other wives too.
What was the cause of it? There seemed to be a build up of tension through out the whole episode until its conclusion with her leaving. Nicolette certainly had a hand in it with her instigating and being difficult about sharing a real room in her house. But personally I place the most blame on Barbara, here was a situation where someone new had come in and needed support and love, instead there was a laying down of the law about Consecration (all things in common, a common pot as they like to say in the show). This was a blow to Ana, coming as she did out of communism she had some bad memories of something she does not want to go back to. And rather than being a good first wife and helping Ana to find her place in the family and the other wives to adjust to this change, Barbara put on a big power play and singled Ana out as the object of her attention and new found friendship. This caused jealousies to flare up and insecurities to mount about loosing some status among the other wives. In all I don't see how Barbara could have done much more to wreck this marriage of Ana to their husband.
Ok, I have said my piece. Anybody else have a comment?
Barb
While many people say Barb is their favorite, she's my least. Nikki, for all her mess ups, would be committed to the family if she was ever shown one iota of respect for having a brain. Margie is coming in to her own, is still young, and needs to learn. But Barb - she insists she is "THE WIFE". In all the families I know, and it is a bunch, I've never seen this "THE WIFE" attitude. I can imagine it would only serve to wreck a family. Some groups may do the 1st wife, 2nd wife, but I don't see how that would ever foster a strong, loving and trusting family.
