    Well this is not related to the show's storyline, but it is Big Love-related, and thought that I would share.... A few weeks ago, I was at a local resturaunt, and this group of people were sitting at a table across from me and my wife, and there was Jeanne Tripplehorn, along with her husband...

    This is exactly it. It's not just "bad press"... being "outed" as a polygmist would totally destroy him and his family, and that's the big trump card that Roman can hold over him.

    This is exactly as I saw it. His "mission" was to break into Home Plus, and then possibly get caught on purpose, so that he can basically confront Bill and let him know that they will "out" him to the public, so to speak, if he doesn't play ball. The whole gay drifter thing that was just a...

    I don't think anything specific has been mentioned. I just take it as he is a rich and powerful man and he wants what most rich and powerful men want -- more power and more money. Interesting on the preview for next week that it implies Roman will be upset with his son for mis-handling the...

    DeeF, On the polygamy front, it seems to me that they are showing both sides of the coin. On the one hand, we see a well-adjusted, successful example with Bill's family, and then the screwed-up version with Roman, et al. However, that - to me - is mearly the backdrop of the show; like the...

    Plus, they had the disclaimer at the end about the Mormons officially forbidding the practice in 1890 or whatever. I actually thought that the show was quite good. As someone else pointed out above, Bill Paxton was fantastic. I've always been a Bill Paxton fan, and it's good to see him get...
