Big Love 3.05, For Better or for Worse

[krickets]

They have to win her back, right? I mean, all three, Barb, Margene, and Nikki seemed to like and really get along with Ana once they each got to know her and spend time with her. But maybe they're not right for her instead of vice versa. It was weird to me that there were certain things -- like pooling their money -- that Ana wasn't told before agreeing to marry them. Not exactly the best way to go about things!

This, my only Big Love icon, is way too happy for that depressing ending.

I expected it to fall apart, yet not quite so fast. The fact that none of the details from bank accounts to living arrangements were discussed in advanced spelled disaster for any relationship. Then throw in the special polygamy stresses - no wonder it didn't work. I think this is for the best. Ana is right about what they have is balance and her presence upset that from the beginning. I liked Ana and often was screaming "run" in my head whenever I saw her, for her sake and the others. I'm interested to see what the fallout of Ana, especially around Barb’s revelations of how she thinks of Nikki and Margie, will do to the three wives.

Yeah the lack of communication about those kinds of things seems almost improbable. There's definitely no way it could fall together so easily with no one explaining these things to her.

I also think that if Bill hadn't sent Ana to live with Nikki that it probably wouldn't have fallen apart so quickly. And Bill was pretty absent here. He says "Ana is my priority" and yet he wasn't acting like it. He should have waited to have the ceremony until he could have taken the time to really be there.

Yeah I'm really wondering how Barb's going to come out of all this. I felt worse for her than anybody.
