Ever wonder what the recurring characters on Veronica Mars are doing in the their free time? Instead of watching the re-airing of last week's episode on UPN, flip over to HBO on Sunday nights and watch Big Love.
Does polygamy make for good drama? Three women sharing one man will definitely create some drama. The concept of the show is interesting enough to keep my attention but I found myself laughing when I should be caring. It's quirky and occasionally cute. I keep watching because I want to know how some of the characters found themselves in this family, and how those who did not have a choice--the kids--feel about it.
The eldest daughter, played brilliantly by Amanda Seyfried who played Veronica's dead best friend, admits to not agreeing with her parent's practice to a friend. In an odd bit of casting, her friend is played by Tina Majorino, who currently is Veronica's friend Mac. Also from Neptune High, Kyle Gallner plays one of the son's friends.
In the world of Veronica Mars, we are getting more clues to this season's super villain. Is mayor Woody Goodman too obvious a choice? And what if the reason the bus went over a cliff has to do with someone else on the bus? Could Meg's mom have hired Curly to kill both her daughter and the boy who knocked her up? (That's my long shot guess. The Manning's are more fucked up than any of the families on Big Love.)
