Big Love Discussion Thread & Casting News - Blu-ray Forum

Big Love just got a little bigger: Onetime Terminator Robert Patrick has just signed on to appear in multiple episodes of the show’s upcoming fifth season.

The actor, probably second-best-known for his stint as David Duchovny’s X-Files replacement, will play Bud Mayberry, the leader of a polygamist fringe group. Which, to my thinking, means one thing: Bill (Bill Paxton) is gonna have his hands full, what with 24 baddie Gregory Itzin also on board as the Republican leader of the Utah State Senate.

What do you think? Good hire? Is this another sign that season 5 will probably be better than season 4?

With casting coups like this, Big Love is well on its way to making up for a lackluster season 4: Legendary (and twice Emmy-nominated) 24 villain Gregory Itzin has signed up for a major recurring gig on season 5 of HBO’s Big Love, sources confirm to me exclusively.

Itzin will play Senator Richard Dwyer, the Republican Majority Leader of the Utah State Senate — of which Bill (Bill Paxton) is now a member.

Hopefully season five will have more than nine episodes. Season four felt way too rushed.

Oh yeah season 4 was complete shit. I believe season 5 is back to the 12 episode structure the show always had in the first 2 seasons, though season 3 only had 10, so I'm not sure. All I know is that season 5 should be a very different trip after being outed.

I'll merge this with the other big love thread when I feel like it.

I couldn't find the damn thing, and I knew you would find it for me, so it guarantees my laziness.

Here's a very vague promo that features the family playing in the snow to strange music and doesn't give you any idea what the hell the next season is about, even though it starts in a month. Kind of like how every promo for this show has ever been, lol.

Riff Magnum · 12-24-2010, 07:14 PM

So Bored to Death and Hung get BD releases, but a show that's been on for five years doesn't. I love you HBO, but you're weird.

Wyndam · 12-25-2010, 06:45 AM

Hopefully HBO will get their ass in gear and get some of their older stuff out on Blu-Ray (I know Big Love is still on, but it is one of HBO's longer running shows on the air). We've gotten Rome and Deadwood, but hopefully we'll hear some news on the rest of The Sopranos, Carnivale, The Wire, etc. in 2011.

Can't wait for Big Love to return! Season 4 was messy, but I'd be lying if I said it wasn't an exciting season.

Riff Magnum · 12-25-2010, 12:52 PM

I've only been watching the show a few weeks, but i was able to grab the first three seasons at Best Buy for half off.

Anyways, with the Green's arriving in Season 2 and Albie being a real weirdo, this show is developing a funky kinda Twin Peaks vibe. Obviously, i'm not the only one picking up on that? Never, ever would've thought i'd be watching a show about polygamist Mormons starring, of all people, Bill Paxton. But, i love it.

krazyclown · 12-27-2010, 02:12 PM

sad this is the last season i realy like this show

Riff Magnum · 01-16-2011, 10:07 PM

The beginning of the end starts tonight.

Riff Magnum · 01-17-2011, 02:31 AM

Solid. Seems like they're gonna ease into the crazy.

WyldeMan45 · 03-22-2011, 04:31 AM

Can honestly say that was not something I expected in the finale lol. Well they said they where going for the "shocking" ending, I had assumed it would either be

[Show spoiler]

their approach however was interesting. I watched every episode from the beginning as they originally aired even though I just never felt any kind of a connection to a single character. I watched because well there wasn't always a lot on Sunday nights so I'm not sad to see it go. It's nice for the big fans that there was some conclusion, but for me it was more of a "well that's an interesting way to conclude the series" kind of thought.

Monolithium · 03-22-2011, 09:21 PM

They certainly wasted

[Show spoiler]

Other than that, it wasn't too bad of a final season. Not as great as the first three, but better than season four. It will be missed.

I know, I was so excited for Robert's role and than I was like "really, that's it?" what like 2 episodes and of almost no importance or significance.

Wyndam · 03-23-2011, 05:41 AM

Really enjoyed the finale. I hope we hear of a complete DVD set soon or if HBO has any plans on releasing this on Blu-Ray.

I wish they'd just release all of their major shows on Blu-Ray. At least from Oz on.

I would certainly hope Oz and The Wire come along on BD long before something like this.
