BIG LOVE: SEASON 3 (3 EPISODES) FYC (FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION)
INCLUDES 3 EPISODES:
PROM QUEEN
ON TRIAL
COME, YE SAINTS
Synopsis:
A Utah polygamist who owns a chain of home improvement stores in the Salt Lake City area skillfully juggles relationships with his three wives while striving to maintain a façade of normalcy in a conservative community. Bill Henrickson, the central character, carefully navigates the challenges posed by his unconventional family structure, which must remain a closely guarded secret to avoid social and legal repercussions. Throughout the season, the tension mounts as the threat of exposure grows, putting pressure on Bill and his complex family dynamic.
Expanded Overview:
Set against the backdrop of suburban Utah, Big Love explores the intricacies of living a polygamist lifestyle in the modern world. Bill Henrickson’s three wives—Barb, Nicki, and Margene—each bring their own perspectives, conflicts, and emotional challenges to the family unit. Barb, the first wife, often acts as the stabilizing matriarch, managing household affairs and supporting Bill's business endeavors. Nicki, the second wife, struggles with her own desires for independence and authenticity, especially as she confronts her past within the polygamist community. Margene, the youngest wife, navigates her role with innocence and hope, often acting as a bridge between the family members.
Season 3 intensifies as the family faces mounting scrutiny from both the outside world and internal conflicts. The episodes chosen for this FYC set highlight pivotal moments:
PROM QUEEN: This episode delves into the family's attempt to blend in with suburban life, focusing on the teenagers' experiences in school and the challenges of presenting a normal family image.
ON TRIAL: Bill confronts legal and moral challenges that threaten to unravel the carefully constructed secrecy of his polygamist lifestyle, testing loyalties and faith within the family.
COME, YE SAINTS: Drawing upon the religious and cultural roots of polygamy in Utah, this episode explores themes of faith, tradition, and rebellion as family members reckon with their identities.
Thematic elements explored throughout the season include:
Family Loyalty vs. Personal Freedom: The balance between maintaining cohesion and individual desires.
Secrecy and Disclosure: The risks and consequences of living a lifestyle at odds with mainstream society.
Religious Faith: The interplay between personal belief systems and societal expectations.
Gender Roles and Power Dynamics: Examination of the roles assigned within this polygamist household and how they evolve.
With richly drawn characters and emotionally charged storylines, Big Love Season 3 offers a compelling look into a rarely depicted facet of American life. The series combines drama, family dynamics, and socio-political commentary, inviting viewers to question assumptions around love, commitment, and the meaning of family.
Production Notes:
Created by Mark V. Olsen and Will Scheffer, Big Love garnered critical acclaim for its nuanced storytelling and complex characters. Season 3 continues to showcase strong performances, particularly from Bill Paxton (Bill Henrickson) and Jeanne Tripplehorn (Barbara Henrickson), further solidifying the show’s impact within the landscape of modern television drama.

WHAT YOU GET:
This item is for the original media, and includes only the media (ie. CD, floppy ...) UNLESS specifically stated above and/or in the title. If more than just the media is included, it will state which items are (ie. box, manual, etc ). Items that come in a sleeve refer to a generic CD sleeve (typically white) and will be sent with shipping protection to avoid damage during transit. If available, we will also send the front and/or back CD inserts if in stock. If these are important to you, please message us to verify we have them available to send. Please do not assume items are included other than what's stated. Again, ask questions PRIOR to purchasing if you have any concerns.
IMAGES:
All images/pictures are stock photos and are for reference only, mainly to show the type of game you will be getting. Please read "WHAT YOU GET" for what is included with the media. Screenshots may vary based on your own computer system, video card, monitor, etc.
COMPATIBILITY:
Computers are like people, each one is different. Unlike console games, a computer game may install and work flawlessly on one system but may need adjustments on another. This is due to a variety of factors, mainly the OS platform running, video card you have, drivers, protection software installed, etc. Many times manufacturers release updates to games to fix bugs and add enhancements. We would be happy to help get the game going on your computer, but ultimately compatibility issues are the responsibility of the buyer. We suggest going to Google and searching for the name of the game along with the words "system requirements" to determine if your system is suitable. Ultimately, we are not responsible for software compatibility problems or publisher's errors.
PLATFORM:
Stated within the auction is what platform the game will work on (ie. Windows, Mac, Linux...) This is a generic statement and specific platform versions (ie. XP, Vista...) will have to be researched by the buyer. Games that came out PRIOR to XP or higher will not specifically state they will work on that release, but only because they came out before those versions were made. Many, if not most, will work on XP or higher with a few quick adjustments. We provide instructions with all items purchased on how to do this adjustment using the Program Compatibility Wizard. If we find out that an item will definately not work on a specific version, we will state it. For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program if the Program Compatibility Wizard does not work.
64-Bit Windows OS Systems:
For 64-bit Operating Systems, older games most likely will NOT work due to 64-bit systems not being able to run 16-bit programming code (most games prior to 2000). For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program.
Macintosh Systems:
For Macintosh programs, most older games will need to be run in Classic Environment if you have a MAC OS X 10.0 - 10.4 version. Please research Google on how to do this, or send us a message for information prior to purchasing. If your MAC OS system doesn't support Classic Environment (ie. MAC OS X 10.5 or Higher OR Intel Macs), you will have to try running it using the free program called SheepShaver, but compatibility is not ensured. Please research prior to purchasing or ask questions.
MEDIA FORMAT:
Please verify you have the required hardware in order to use the specified media (ie. CD, DVD, floppy drives, etc.) If the item comes as a floppy disc, make sure you have either the needed 3.5" floppy drive or the bigger and older 5.25" floppy drive.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A SMOOTH PURCHASE:
Ask questions PRIOR to purchasing an order to avoid any confusion.
Be patient if there are problems during installation or gameplay. Typically someone else has
already ran into that problem and has listed a solution online. Contact us and we will do our best to help.
Be sure to update your video card drivers and search for updates to the game from the manufacturer.
