TV Review: Big Love - "Reunion" Part 1 - Page 4

Part of: Big Love

UEB Meeting. Roman is describing the company he wants to buy, which distributes “touch-screen gaming devices to six states.” Bill, sitting in for Joey, correctly assumes they’re talking about gambling machines. He asks if it’s moral for the UEB to promote liquor and gambling. Roman explains it away as taking money from people who live unholy lifestyles. Hee. He also says that the company is fully aware of their “background” and has shown no hesitation. Bill looks thoughtful.

They vote. Bill is the only one to vote “nay.” After the meeting, Bill and Roman discuss the state of their affairs. Roman says he has no control over what the state police do with Joey, but Bill just tells him to figure it out.

Sister Wife Central. Barb calls her sister and gets one of her kids. Kim-Li puts her on hold, and music starts playing. Oh, man. Cindy won’t come to the phone. Barb tells her to tell Cindy that she loves her and that they can make it better. When she hangs up, she turns around to find Margie standing in the doorway. She definitely heard enough to know who Barb called. Barb looks a little abashed and Margie just smiles and leaves.

A tattoo parlor, where loud, screechy rock music is playing. We see Ben sitting with a shirtless someone, who is getting a tattoo on his lower back. From the depths of the couch, the Adorable Princess Sammie (the sisterly unit) squeals, “Nekkid Beaver!” and points excitedly at the screen. Yes, Beaver is getting himself a Straight Edge tattoo that looks like this: sXe.

But I know that what you all are really interested in is his hair. It’s quite a bit longer than it was last season. He asks about the Brynn situation and if they’re still “doing it all.” Ben says yes, but not as much. Beaver stands up and checks out his new tattoo in a mirror. I’m kind of surprised that Kyle Gallner takes his shirt off as often as he does, given that he’s quite a scrawny fellow. I happen to like scrawny guys, but I imagine that’s not the mainstream.

He asks Ben if he thinks his father is leading him down an unrighteous path. When Ben says no, Beaver admits that he believes that his father is. Oh, so he’s become disenchanted with polygamy and the Principle. I’m following. “Most people believe you should only have one wife. Smokers, drinkers, sex, fags. What our dads are doing — you and I, we can’t have it.” I have no idea what he’s talking about. Is he saying that smokers and drinkers believe in having one wife? And what can’t they have?
