--- Quote from: backstagebetty on 23 Aug 2007, 12:41 ---I talked to my dad about Big Love once and he was saying that he watched it a couple of times and he didn't identify with (or even like) any one character in the show, so he decided he didn't want to watch it anymore. I think my feelings on it might be along the same lines, to a certain extent. I don't particularly like any of the individual characters on the show, either. Every character has something about them that would stop me from caring about them in real life. Most of them, while they are having crappy things done to them, are doing crappy things to other people. Maybe it is better not to care so much about the characters as, at this point in the plot, so many terrible things are happening to everyone that, if I did care about them, it would probably hurt to watch it. Maybe it's better that I can sit back just in awe of all the things happening without caring. The way I can really tell that I don't care is that some of the characters are particularly awful people (like Bill's dad) and, normally when a character on a show is like that, I burn with the desire to see that character get his comeuppance. With this show, I don't even care because it doesn't matter to me whether the people that the awful characters are doing bad things to get their revenge or not. That's just strange for me.

Mm.  Yes.  They are all sort of shitty in their own ways, but I think the main family is lovable despite their faults (though Bill is getting on my nerves increasingly more every episode).  They all seem to be really...manipulative, I guess.  But I think that's just human nature in some ways, to try and spin a situation to get what you want and what you think is best.  I do have a solid dislike of Frank, though, and definitely want him to get back just what he gives.
