Yeah, it will be interesting to see how this plays out. I doubt she's ever ask Margie to have a baby for her. I got the impression she was seriously revolted by the idea. She's pretty judgmental.

Also, and I'm just throwing this out here, I HATE Rhonda!!!!

Who doesn't? Considering the kind of background she came from, I'm amazed at what a spoiled brat she is.

(My husband swears he's picking up a lesbian vibe from Heather, Sarah's LDS friend, and he thinks something might go on between her and Rhonda. Since I really dislike both of these characters, I really, really hope not.)

LOL! Heather really bugs me, but I don't think she's a lesbian. I could be wrong, though. That show comes up with some really interesting twists.

I'm a fan, too, although I'm not familiar with the names as much as you two.

The show really surprised me. I didn't think it was going to be as good of a storyline as it actually has evolved into.




Peace,
Mystic

It surprised me, too. I actually don't even have HBO, but like most LDS, I was pretty much opposed to it when I first heard about it. Curiosity finally got the best of me and I rented the first three episodes from Netflix. Bam! I was hooked. I ended up renting the rest of the first season, and now I go over to my daughter's place every Monday to watch it with her. The storylines are great, the acting is excellent, and there is absolutely no way these people could be mistaken for LDS. If I had any complaint at all about it, it would be that most of the LDS who are portrayed in it are portrayed in a kind of negative way -- very judgmental, trying to convert everyone they meet, etc. The polygs in the show are supposed to be living perhaps within five or six miles from where I do, so I know what LDS people around here are like, and they're not the the ones in the show. Other than that, I think the show is great.

Oh, my gosh! It looks like he might be right! What on earth was it that gave him that impression? It didn't even occur to me, but that's what it's starting to look like.

Just a vibe. A few of our closest friends are lesbians. It's the way she words things, mostly, how attentive (and at times, bordering on possessive) she can be with Sarah, and the things that seem to upset her about Sarah, like the boyfriend. It all seems very familiar.

Have I mentioned how much I hate Rhonda? I forgot to mention that I hate Frank even more.

Woo! So totally called that one, too!

Damn! You're good! I never thought in a million years that that would happen!

Unfortunately, I have no other theories at this time. Except for the fact that I'm almost 100% certain that the only reason Ben's dating the twins is to upset Barb, but I think that one's pretty obvious, so it doesn't count. How about Wanda reaching for the Comet while she was powdering the top of that cake, eh? The minute I saw her sifting the sugar I said to my husband "Oh man, is that sugar or arsenic?!" and then she reached for the Comet! Cripes...

I am frightened of the next episode.

Yeah, I thought it was obvious, too, but my daughter didn't and she usually picks up on stuff I miss. Those twins are too much. Once again, the casting director is a simply a genius.

I know. I totally thought she was going to do it.

I am frightened of the next episode.

It's going to be great, though. Do you think they'll be writing Roman out of the series or do you think he's going to live? I'm almost dreading next week. I don't know if I can handle the withdrawls!
