More Big Love previews

Over the weekend, the promo video from HBO's Big Love hit the web and we shared it here... wondering if that's all there is? The video was sort of metaphorical, but not very substantive. Today, however, there's some Big Love scoop to report, plus a new poster from HBO (right).

First, about the poster; yes, the family appears to be united. But is it just me or do Nikki and Margene's heads look weird? It could be the Photoshopping, but HBO is too slick for that. I think it's subliminal advertising. They're trying to convey that something is off with two of Bill's wives. Nikki has always been a headcase, but Margene? She's been so loyal and true and... normal!

However, when we last left Big Love, Margene's new jewelry business was taking off and she seemed likely to spread her wings and fly off a little.

But get this for some big news about Big Love, when the January 10, Season Four premiere airs, Bill will be running for State Senator. There were hints that Bill was going to get into politics, and it's all for love. Not ambition or power, Bill wants to promote polygamy.

Exec producer Mark V. Olsen told EW's Michael Ausiello, "His goal, if he's elected, is to put himself and his family out there as public polygamists. He can't be impeached for that. Polygamy is technically a misdemeanor in Utah, [and a misdemeanor is not] an impeachable offense."

Olsen went on to explain that the wives are not entirely thrilled with Bill's plan. And, thus, more conflict and tumult in the Hendrickson households.
