Big Love is over!

… for the season. No idea why I like this show so much, but I do. It’s a soap opera about a plural marriage in Salt Lake City. My kids love it, and I discovered on my tour that video magician Johnny Dekam and his girlfriend are addicts too. We would seek out hotels that had HBO so we could watch it. Tonight’s season finale was just fantastic.

Years ago my wife Kathleen starred in a big budget, full length iMax movie made by the Mormon church, telling the Story of Mormon. She is not religious, it was just another paid gig. If you go to the Visitors Center in Salt Lake, it screens three times a day, and there she is, floor to ceiling. Since then, wherever we go, someone looks aghast at her, as if she was the actual mother of Joseph Smith. A couple of times evengelists have even rung our doorbell in California, and when she opens the front door, their jaws hit the floor!

    How Awesome for Kathleen!
    or does it get oogy : /
    But it would be something to have a
    Diego Rivera type murial of her & the other
    Mormon icons in their church lobby!
    Me- I’m hooked on Dr Who-first sexy Dr Who they had!
    I like it!

    No kidding. I am always amazed at some of the connections in this little town. Next time you are in SLC, give me a ring and I’ll treat you to some quality cuisine and show you the town.

    Hey Holly, which series are you watching? Christopher Eccleston (Dr. No. 9) was pretty sexy, and the latest – David Tennant (Dr. No.10) is possibly more so. Who says Science fiction is only for dorks. Mind you, when I was 12, I was passionately in love with Tom Baker (Dr. No.4?) and my aunt knitted me a 16 foot striped scarf which I would wear (in summer and winter) with a huge hat. That was definitely dorky and thank god no-one ever took a picture!

  5. Hey Saucy Librarian,

    Christopher Eccleston is sexier than David Tennant who’s a bit foppy for my liking.

    I think Big Love is a great show! I started looking forward to watching that more than the Sopranos. Does anyone else think the middle wife is a grown up Jan Brady?
