Sleepy time...
-
Is that the writers no longer allow the characters to have any dignity. Bill and his wives have become fools. There has been a change on this show, beginning gradually over the course of last season and continuing to this one, where the characters are treated less and less like people, and more and more like objects of scorn and ridicule. It's a shame, because once upon a time, Bill Hendrickson was a complex character who wavered between the dark and the light. Now he's simply a dumb Utaw bumpkin for other, more worldly characters (and the audience) to snicker at. Pity.
-
Bill has become a bad writer's creation who is yanked hither and yon by the whims of storytelling without any regard to his personality or character. I really don't like the turn of this season's plot. Bill running for the State Senate is a ludicrous plot device. Bad, writers! Bad!
-
The titillation factor is gone. When an HBO show about a guy with three wives stops being sexy, you have a problem. I don't expect the sex to be front and center but it's barely even the subplot it used to be.
-
but is it more rediculous than having a guy believe that it is gods will that he be able to bang his babysitter? best parts of this season were the roman popsicle and alby saying he wasnt gay...just likes to fool around
-
Good actors, but it's not enough to carry this any further. The high-concept premise would have worked great as a mini-series, but it's been stretched far too thin to watch anymore without dozing off.
-
No House talkback, yet there is one for Big Love? AICN continues to be a big joke...
-
...that continue to save this show. Multiple homicidal women, cameos and compromised gevernment employees are what make this show click. Ramp up the sex a little and this still works. Jumping the shark is not always a reason to stop watching.
-
..all three wives get buck ass nekkid and have nasty cable sex. What the hell is the point in having there wives if they don't? Too much trouble.
-
I first read that as "polygasmic", which sounded a lot more fun...
-
kicked his son right out of the house...what a bastard
-
The protagonists (Dexter and Bill) need to get caught. This is the main way these two shows can become fascinating to me again. Big Love has gotten too big (no surprise there), and having Bill on trial for poligamy (rather than running for political office) would be much more interesting. Maybe this is where they're headed, since the politics plotline is so fucking stupid (and I can see getting dragged out already).
Dexter on trial isn't worth a whole season, but how awesome would it be if he got caught halfway through next season. SPOILER ALERT: The single father serial killer who only killed bad guys. Would he elicit sympathy from America? How would his children, coworkers and family take it. Could be an awesome way to go out...
Which brings us to what both these shows really need. An end date. For Big Love it should be this season (though honestly, I might be just done with it altogether). Dexter as well, one (maybe two). Lets learn from Lost and what will hopefully be a great last season due to the fact that the creators knew it was coming. When will US networks finally learn? -
for me to pick up on this season or should I give it a rest. I have all the episodes this season on the dvr. Just need to know if I should invest some time to it.
-
...by the writers' insistence on keeping the status quo from ep to ep at any cost. Bill gets wife #4 (the Serbian waitress), she's gone in a couple of eps. Daughter gets pregnant and decides to go to ASU in Phoenix (my alma mater), but that interesting development gets nixed in a couple of eps too. Hell, Margene dyes her hair blonde and they won't even let THAT minor change last more than a couple of episodes. It reminds me of the old days of broadcast series when producers avoided allowing any really substantial changes into the plot, maybe (I speculate) because they could never be sure in what order the eps might be aired and didn't want to confuse the audience. In these days of DVRs, whole series on DVD, and series-long arcs, that logic makes no sense. As it is, I lose any commitment to what's happening when I know everything gets reset to square one eventually.
-
Bring back Daveigh Chase wherever the hell she went. It's not like she suddenly became an A-lister after "S. Darko" and they can't afford her anymore. I miss that crazy little bitch Rhonda. (BTW I've missed the recent season so pardon me if she's been killed off and I don't know about it.)
-
god bless bill paxton.
-
or all the Indian assholes in this show. I fucking hate all of them. It make me want to destroy their stupid culture all over again.
-
Even though thats a pretty harsh statement to make which makes me believe you're probably a white American who's ancestors were directly involved in massacring native americans...I still can't help but agree. The show paints these Indians in horrific light. Do they all have to be methheads, crackheads, cranky bitches and asshole chewers? Gotdamn...
-
It's not Indians but the make believe Indians on the show that make me feel that way. I only no one real Indian(not the 1/16 BS everyone says they are) and he is a cool guy. As far as me bearing some responsibility to what some honky’s did hundreds of years ago is just fucking retarded. If I am only responsible for my own actions and not for some bullshit that happened before I was born.
