Big Love - Death?
19 February 2009Remember how funny I thought it was that, after I teased two big deaths on Big Love, none of you tried to pry clues out of me? Well, now that you’ve started prying — to the point where I’m surprised EW.com’s emailbox hasn’t crashed, I don’t think it’s so funny anymore. So here’s the deal: You limit yourselves to just a few thousand letters a day about TV’s best show, and in return, I’ll run down the odds of these major characters meeting, as skeevy old Roman would say, “their heavenly father.” There’s also a supporting player I’ll be sad to see bite the dust in the March bloodbath, but that one’s identity I’m gonna leave you guessing at… until tomorrow when Ask Ausiello goes live.
Odds of the goner being Nicki: 16%. Because: Once Bill and her sister wives discover the lengths she went to on her father’s behalf, life as she knew it will be over. So perhaps, to her, it might seem less painful if life, period, were over, too.
Odds of the goner being Frank: 22%. Because: Once Bill’s parents started taking turns trying to do away with one another, planet Earth, never mind the Juniper Creek compound, was no longer big enough for both of them.
Odds of the goner being Lois: 11%. Because: See above. But her odds of surviving are better than her “better” half’s because c’mon, can you imagine an episode without Grace Zabriskie? I sure can’t.
Odds of the goner being Sarah: 17%. Because: With all hell breaking loose in the Henricksons’ increasingly small world, it would be awfully easy for an innocent to get caught in the crossfire. Plus, after Mamma Mia! the big screen is beckoning Amanda Seyfried.
Odds of the goner being Roman: 13%. Because: You don’t have to be a prophet to foresee that someone with as many enemies as wives — who’s already been shot once — is a serious contender buy the farm.
Odds of the goner being Alby: 9%. Because: You know you’re in trouble when your own mother takes out a hit on you. And if Dad were moved to do the same, something tells me the only boys “the usurper” would be trysting with would be angels.
Odds of the goner being Ana: 3%. Because: Her murder would afford the Greenes the satisfaction of taking away one of Bill’s wives without us having to lose Barb, Margene or Nicki. Of course, first the character would have to be reintroduced…
Odds of the goner being Wanda: 9%. Because: Let’s face it, Joey’s whack-job wife spends every day with one foot in insanity, the other in the grave. The only question is, would she do herself in, or would someone else do it for her?
So what do you think? I can tell you with 100% certainty that the soon-to-be dearly departed is among the contenders above. Who’s it gonna be? And, maybe even more interesting, who do you want it to be?
