marigoldmama, After I read posters pointing out the position of Nikki in the fetal position in the opening credits it did make me start thinking. It could be true that Nikki will die because the creators / writers of the show wrote the show for five seasons. In an article with an interview of the creators / writers that came out before this season started one of the writers said that he wante to stay with the five season format. Apparently they wrote all of Big Love before it started airing. When HBO picked up the show, HBO has a six season format. The other writer / creator of Big Love says that he wants to do a season 6 but his partner in this is hesitant as they wrote out the show for a five season series.
That being said, the show is wrapping up. If Nikki's character is killed off the person that plays Nikki will not suffer professionally. She is a very gifted actress and I'm certain will go on to do great things. I would also think that all of the characters are lining up work for when the show ends in either one or two more seasons.
My questions marigoldmama is what do you think the purpose of killing Nikki off would be? You are so right about Nikki looking dead in the new opening which is a foreshadowing that you were smart to pick up on. So now you really have me thinking. Would Nikki's death be ironic because she came to help Barb who was supposed to die and the person that ends up dying is Nikki.
Big Love is has so many layers in it. I think that all of the layers makes Big Love a very interesting and intriging show.
Thank you marigoldmama for pointing out Nikki's behavior during the new opening. I would be interested in knowing on some other things / foreshawdowings that you have picked up on.
