"In the equation E = mc⬧, c⬧ is a pretty big honking number." - Scola

Oh, I know. I actually thought Barb would give in after the church meeting -- I breathed a real sigh of relief when she just walked on by.

I know this isn't where it's going, but my happy-ending-seeking brain wants Bill to give the whole thing up and just settle back down with Barb. Margie's nice, but I don't feel like she's ever going to be an equal partner. Plus she's completely an outsider anyway -- was she even a Mormon to start out with?

Confession time: I've only started watching this season.

I don't think she was Mormon. She was the family babysitter. Now that's a backstory I'd like to see.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Margene wasn't religious at all before joining the marriage and only got baptized (by Bill in their pool) last year or so.

Juts the practicality of unsealing with Nikki - what will they do with her house, how will they raise the kids, who will do all the household stuff she used to do (roofing and fixing appliances and whatnot) - I don't see how it can happen. And the dynamics between Margie and Barb aren't going to be easy. As abrasive and just plain wrong as Nikki generaly is, she had actual relationships with both of the other wives. I think, to Barb, Margene is still the babysitter, mostly.

I predict that that business with Alby selling other documents will be important.

She's not particularly religious now! Yeah, -t, that's what I think about the Barb/Margene relationship too. And how to handle the kids -- not to mention, how could Nikki possibly support herself? That's definitely a mess in the making. But the woman is narcissistic, manipulative, and a total mess. I wish she could just go back to work in the law office and marry the DA. Or, you know, something.

Compassionately intolerant

Rome: the Movie?

I heart Titus Pullo in a big way. I'll line up for that one.

True. What I really meant was that she wasn't even nominally any religion.

Nikki was apparently quite competent at the office in her immodest clothes, she could've been happy if it wasn't all based on lies and in the service of evil. But, really, if Roman unseals them he'll just assign her to someone else on the compound. Now I feel bad for her, with her creepy first husband hanging around all handy like.

Our wings are not tired.

Emily, I watched most of Season 1 and lost interest, but when I was sick in bed a few weeks ago, I started watching Season 3 (love "video on demand") and became engrossed. I've loaded Season 2 into the Netflix queue.

I love JT too. I don't know if there is a more beautiful actress on television, either.

JT is totally one of those actors who has gotten better looking as she ages. To be completely crass about it, she's a total MILF.

Always Anti-fascist!

You guys know me, if I watch more Entourage, will I like it? because I can't decide from disc one.
