2-6: "Dating Game" 2007.07.16 - Big Love TWoP Forums p12:
-Barb does not really believe in plural marriage, which is why she's so intent on 'helping' people - it compensates for her unhappiness. But she does know how to be the Boss Lady. Nicki believes in it, but in warped way - everything with Nicki is about power and manipulation, which reflects her upbringing. Margene really does believe in the ideal of it - sisterhood, family, sharing. It's touching. But ultimately I think she will get her heart broken, because none of her spouses - Bill, Barb and Nicki - take her seriously.

p12:
-Margene didn't feel insecure or threatend in part because she is open to true sisterhood in this type of arrangement.
-My current theory: Margene is living in the 21st century. Barb is living sometime in the late 20th century. Nicki has one foot in the 19th and one in the 21st. huh, that's apt. Bill is firmly planted in the 19th century, but on a completely different planet.

-"Remind her that earthly increase is the due of every righteous man"
It's odd how genuine I find Don even when he's spouting such BS as this.
-Count me in on the Don fans here. His character has an innate kindness that comes thru.

-As much as I did like Ana and Margene's interaction, and I really would like Margene to have a healthy friendship, I was pretty sure nothing would happen with Ana. After all, the show has three clear representations from various factions of wives. First there's Barb, who acquiesced to Bill's desire to live the principle, possibly because of love for him, possibly because she feared losing him too. Then there's Nikki, who was brought up from moment one being taught this is the life to live (and for the flip side, had her exposed to the most toxic forms of it, what with her father leaving wives at Conoco stations, so she reveres and fears) and then Margene, who represents what any outsider fourth wife would. The only wife present who chose solely on her own terms. She wasn't pressured into the situation, she doesn't have a religious calling, she chose this.

-"holding in anger causes cancer" Hee! Only Lois.
-Also I'm loved how Lois gave a tidbit of information about Sarah and Scott to Barb and then abruptly hung up. The entire family is manipulative, I love it.
-Lois is so manipulative she meets herself coming and going on who to stab in the back next.
walking in fr the car (few episodes back). Joey: Where's Wanda? Lois: I had her committed. state psychiatric. somebody had to. it was very hard on me.
-Joey had the best line of the evening: “I’m just trying to be practical, not celestial!” Joey's sweet, isn't he.
-Lois will live to be 100 if someone doesn't get pissed off at her and shoot her. Helpless old lady, my ass.
