Home Shopping Success, State Senate Bid, Rolling Dice W/Casino All in a New 'Big Love' Trailer

This first substantive Big Love season four trailer was released by HBO yesterday and it was loaded with potentially intriguing and explosive stuff:

Bill (creator of the backyard Church of Bill during last season's finale) wants to move forward with his scheme to become a casino mogul AND run for state senate? That's a lot of work he's got on his plate: Running two home improvement stores, launching a new casino, having three wives, parenting tons of kids, running your own church AND running for statewide office. And this guy doesn't even use caffeine. Marg is doing well with her home shopping business, there's another trial involving polygamy and, in the wake of Roman Grant's death, there's a struggle over that white prophet's hat at the Juniper Creek.



The new season begins on January 10.

HBO Releases Artsy 'Big Love' Promo, Premiere Jan. 10

Big Love is slated to return for a fourth season on January 10. The season three finale concluded with Bill Henrickson flying by the seat of his pants and forming his own Church of Bill in his backyard, handing out trays of bread and water for communion to his three wives and their offspring, as Nicki introduced the family to the daughter from her first marriage whom she'd left behind.

So what are we to draw from this promo, that the characters are free-falling through the air and can't quite reach one another, that everything's just a bit out of their grasp. Hmmm.

I also came across a disturbing season four spoiler recently about Margene and a Henrickson kid. (Don't read the Michael Ausiello report from Entertainment Weekly if you don't want a plot turn spoiled.)

'Big Love' Season 4 Teaser: All Talk, No Scenes

Big Love returns for its fourth season in January, in case you're in the market for a new show to help fill the vacancy of Mad Men. And HBO's starting to drum up anticipation by releasing a new promo. What's disappointing about it is that it contains no new scenes, only audio. I'm anxious to find out what happens with the new Church of Bill and Barb's fears about "outer darkness."
