Big Love: Pretending To Be Something You're Not
LatestOn last night’s episode, Alby continued to play it straight, except when behind closed doors, while Nicki attempted to shed Cara Lynn of her fundamentalist ways through a new wardrobe. But faking it isn’t easy or fun for anyone.
In one scene, Margene was watching TV with the kids, where some kind of minstrel show was on. While confusing and WTF at first, that little “cameo” began to make sense as the episode unfolded, and we watched how offensive it can be to: 1.) Be told what/who we are; 2.) Try to be something we’re not. Alby, obviously, has been going through some shit with his sexuality. And now that he’s met someone with whom he connects, things are about get more intense, particularly because both men are leading double lives due to the fact that they’ve been told that being gay (or “doing” gay) is sinful.
Despite what they’ve been taught about homosexuality, they still can’t quit each other. BTW, an afterlife without gay guys actually sounds like hell to me.
Guess what prop the show used again?
And now that Roman has been dug up out of the ground, he’s Six Feet Under.
