IN SRI LANKA, ALL NINE MEMBERS OF THE ASIAN DAWN: Well now, who'da thought that there would be polygamists creepier than Roman Grant, Frank Henrikson, and the ladies of Little House on Juniper Creek? These last couple of episodes of Big Love (the Anna and Ginger episodes) have been quite marvelous -- a dramatic improvement over what was already quite a good show. The depth of the dramatis personae is increasing every week, the acting is excellent (props to Ginnifer Goodwin for a couple weeks of fabulous work) and I will admit once again that I was dead wrong to suspect that the writers had prematurely exposited at the end of season one. Big Love was always HBO-worthy based on subject matter alone, but it's really becoming a desirable wife all by itself.
