Big Love, Big Mess!

The way too early season finale of Big Love was on last Sunday & I of course tuned in for it & was pretty shocked by the whole outcome of it.  First of all, I'm so happy that creepy ass JJ & his freaky ass wife are dunzo...I was so sick of looking at him & when I found out that he was involved in the incest in Kansas I was even more creeped out.  So, basically JJ was taking his sperm & the eggs of others & placing them in women who could carry the babies & so this spread of cross breeding was taking place unannounced to these women.  These women thought they were pregnant with their own babies but really they weren't.  Nicki was trying to get pregnant & JJ was about to impregnate her with the egg of I believe her own daughter & JJ's sperm...JJ is Nicki's daughter's father!  Anyway, Nicki's mom took care of all of that by burning down the clinic with him & his crazy cancer wife inside.

So, Bill won the election for State Senate and really this whole plot line has me kind of annoyed...the family has so much on their plate & then he does this, runs for Senate & wins?  Let me clear that the only reason he won is because his opponent conceded for whatever reason (I'm sure we'll find out next season & I'm sure it involves Marilyn).  When Bill won he made his speech & announced that he's a Polygamist & introduced all 3 of his poor wives who had to stand up there on stage & pretend to be proud of who they are.  Once he made this announcement the room went silent & most people left while the ladies stood up there holding hands dressed appropriately one in red, one in white & one in blue.  Nicki cut her hair & modernized herself prior...probably because she didn't want people thinking she was "that kind" of Polygamist, you know, the kind who live on the compound!

I don't understand how they didn't get arrested, is Polygamy not illegal?  Bill thinks that just because he's Senator he can make it ok because I think he's in for a world of hurt.  He's got a baby on the way with Anna, Margie is married to Anna's boyfriend (but leaving the marriage), I guess Sarah is leaving the show not just the state, Barb told the press about Anna's pregnancy to try to get Bill to lose but Bill stopped it (thinking it was all Marilyn's doing), the casino is a disaster after Bill got rid of Tommy, Nicki doesn't want to share Bill anymore & Margie's business couldn't be better (but I'm sure it will fold now).  I can't wait to see what next season will bring but I can't believe I have to wait until January...WTF is with the short ass season? I'm irritated, maybe they will do a bonus season between this & the next like they did with SATC!  I won't be holding my breath waiting for that one but it's ok True Blood is back in a few months.

Margene & Ben?

That kiss was no big shocker to me, I don't know about you guys but I've been waiting since day one to see this go down.  The sexual tension between the two of them has been thick as hell since episode one!  What I thought was dumb was the fact that the network lady actually thought that he was Margene's husband.  Ben is obviously young, he doesn't wear a wedding ring, and the kiss was not sexy...he could have been Margie's gay friend or something; all she did was kiss him on the lips & the kiss was slightly longer than your standard peck to your mom.  When they showed him during the show & claimed he was her husband the look on Barb's face was priceless but I don't know why she looked so shocked especially as "tight" as she is she would have known it was a misunderstanding...it isn't like they showed the kiss.  If I were Margie I'd be pissed at that woman, come on what kind of boss is going to claim someone is your husband without ever being introduced to them?  That whole debacle was just a little too Three's Company for me.

Joey digging up Roman's body was disgusting, Nicky's daughter is just annoying me, Nicky actually is really annoying me...there is no way she would have even been able to get into that building with a gun in her purse! 

How long was Teeny away at camp?  Apparently long enough to be played by an older actor who looks nothing like the original girl that played her.  I don't have a major issue with them replacing the actor since Teeny wasn't on the show much but they could have replaced her with another girl who is near the same age...this is getting like General Hospital, you miss 2 episodes and the kid that was born last week is now getting married!  According to the HBO site (last season) Teeny is 8 or 9 when in reality the first girl who played her (Jolean Wejbe) was 11 but the new girl playing her (Bella Thorne, no age noted on HBO site) is 13 in real life so how is she supposed to be 9 or 10?  She's going to be getting boobs any day so I'm curious to see if maybe they have a b-day party for her & suddenly make her like 12 or if they just tape em down for the time being. 

I think Bill running for office is really dumb, come on he owns numerous Home Plus stores,  just opened a casino, has 3 wives & 7 or 8 kids but he's got time to run for political office, as if!  I am happy that it brought Sissy Spacek to the show though!!  Oh yeah, JJ creeps me out, the guy who plays him is actually the one that creeps me out & has on every single show I've ever seen him on.
