I don't think that they did a very good job of that in the beginning. My sister (not a member of my church) called me one day after watching BL for a while and asked when my husband gets to choose his next wife. So, clearly, they were not explaining it correctly. It didn't bother me too much then, because most of the LDS characters on the show were good people - at bit nosy & bossy - but good.<BR/>This season however, almost all of the LDS characters on the show are greedy, manipulative people and they seem to attribute this characteristic to their religious affiliation. This I find upsetting. I also am not pleased that they showed stuff that is sacred to us. HBO claimed that it was integral to the plot, but it truly wasn't necessary. <BR/>There is much talk on the internet that HBO and the $ behind the show are taking revenge on the LDS church for it helping to fund the campaign in California to ban gay marriage. I have no idea if this is the reason behind the show seeming more and more anti-mormon or not. Seems a bit far fetched - but who knows.<BR/>I just think that it is unfair to bash peoples religious views. I'm not looking to convert anyone - just as I wouldn't want someone to try to change my views. We are lucky to live in a country that allows us to practice whatever religion we choose - and sometimes I just wish that we all (society) had a little more respect for each other.<BR/><BR/>Wow, long comment - sorry.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12645593290682739665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14165748.post-80333954102710275862009-03-16T12:41:00.000-06:002009-03-16T12:41:00.000-06:00Friday is the Frakin' End! as they say on space. ...Friday is the Frakin' End! as they say on space. This season of BSG has been really weak but I will still be glued to my TV.<BR/><BR/>I watched season 2 of Big Love and liked it. I kind of lost track of after that. <BR/><BR/>Nice to hear that your hubby made you a nice meal. That sounds sweet! :)Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04057072597891871908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14165748.post-24054463419175296582009-03-16T12:26:00.000-06:002009-03-16T12:26:00.000-06:00Wow, hubby cooked - thats awesome. The only thing ...Wow, hubby cooked - thats awesome. The only thing my hubby cooks is BBQ, so I always look forward to the summer for that.<BR/><BR/>I watch Big Love - although I have been more bothered with it this season. I think the stories are great, and the characters are really developing well, but I have issues with it religiously speaking. I still watch it, but I find myself getting more and more upset - maybe I should just stop watching.<BR/><BR/>I don't know what BSG is, must be out of the loop - lolJenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12645593290682739665noreply@blogger.com
