Honestly? This season finale was kind of tamer than I had anticipated. I think Lois chopping off Very Truly Yours Hollis Green's arm kind of spoiled me. Henceforth, any Big Love episode that doesn't end in some samurai action is kind of dull.
I'm concerned. There's only one episode of Big Love left and someone has already lost their arm to a machete. What can we expect for the season finale? Tarring and feathering? Disembowelment? A musical number? The horrific possibilities are endless.
Late last night, after taking in the latest Big Love episode, I thought back to my more innocent days. Namely, my more innocent days of last week, when I naively thought that seeing Nicki pull up to a seedy motel/creepy marriage factory in a mini skirt and side ponytail and then seeing her proceed to kick ass and take names was one of the craziest things that I had seen happen on this show. Oh, what a fool I was.
I was watching Big Love last night while waiting to hear whether or not my snow-buried city would be functional today (it wasn't) and wondered if seasons of Big Love always take place during the summer. That seems to be the case, doesn't it?
Well, it's a day that ends in "y," which means Bill Henrickson must have a New! Awesome! Fantastic! Idea that Totally Won't Take His Family to the Brink of Ruin! I swear, if I was married to him, I would have brain damage a long time ago due to repeatedly smacking myself in the head.
Confession: we still have our Christmas tree up. We're taking it down tonight, but I've been really bummed the last few days thinking about how it won't be around anymore. Last night, I was all sad-pants...but then I remembered that Big Love was starting again!
Remember a few weeks ago when I told you about the Big Love Christmas album, A Juniper Creek Christmas, and how we would be giving away autographed copies of the vinyl version?
What is the one thing that would make your Christmas season that much more awesome? What's that you say? An album of Christmas carols adapted and performed by our favorite Juniper Creek residents/characters from Big Love?
Angela Chase once mused that there was something about Sunday evenings that made you want to kill yourself. It used to be the shadow of school looming over my head. Now it's the promise of a Monday at work, literally dragging my kid out of bed and to the school bus stop, and the lack of shows to recap.
Sigh. Another blockbuster season finale for Big Love. I don't know about you, but I'm exhausted. And excited. And sad. And already starting to wonder what I will post on Mondays now!
So let's get to this big ol' recap. Plus, if you read all the way to the end, there's a goofy little surprise...
Ohhhh, kids. We're nearing the end of this season. On the one hand, I'm very bummed because Big Love is the one bright spot of Sunday nights. Like the patron saint of angsty girls, Angela Chase, once said, "There's something about Sunday night that makes you want to kill yourself." But on the other hand, plotlines are rushing at a breakneck speed and this show is just ridiculously exciting.
