Which brings me to the finale. I'm sure it will be eventful and action packed, but I'm not sold on the stakes here. Nicki's sick of being a sister wife, but she's never going to get her way and have Bill all to herself (though my god, why would she even want him?). Maybe she'll leave the marriage in the finale, but I doubt it. And what, exactly, is so scary about Sissy Spacek's character? What's she going to do? Expose them as polygamists? They were already going to do that themselves in like five minutes anyway.

Whatever happens, I'd love for it to end Bill's idiotic and selfish political campaign. I just hope no parrots are harmed in the process.

Big Love airs on HBO tonight at 9 PM, but if you've also noticed that Bill Paxton is the worst actor on the planet, and the fact that Ginnifer Goodwin and Jeanne Tripplehorn are brilliant just doesn't cover that up enough for you, our Week in Preview has other viewing options for tonight.
