I love the show, but this season seems "off."
First of all, there are only 9 episodes, so it's a very short season - makes me wonder if it's the last.
Second, they are telling a lot of stories this season: Batb's "awakening" since being involved in the casino; Margene's new business venture; Nikki's continued questionning of her life and Ray (is that his name?), and Blll's political ambitions. That's not even the complete list, but it's a lot of territory to tackle with any depth or complexity.
Third, the pace seems very fast; I guess I'm used to it being slower and done more thoroughly.
Finally. they're throwing topical, fascinating issues at us left and right: politics and polygamy; religious beliefs and homosexuality -- I just want more already.

Don't forget Ana's pregnancy, Margene and Ben's story line, Lois and Frank, and Sarah's new married life....
I feel like a lot is happening in each episode too. In fact, I've had to watch each episode twice just to catch everything!

Big Love has been renewed for a 5th season so it will be back.
There are only 9 episodes this cycle because of time restraints put on the writers. They wanted to air in March, HBO in January. Plus one of the writers went and got swine flu. They have promised us more shows next year and a slower pace.

I am kinda bummed this season is almost over...We have what, 3 more episodes left?
It is really packed in there. So much going on that you have to watch it at least 2 or 3 times each episode to fully understand the entire storyline.

re-watches are a necessity for me this season. So much, so fast, so many different directions... I dont even feel like i've really watched the whole episode untill I've watched it 2 / 3 x's.

I'm sort of pissed they will be making us wait until March next season, and we're only getting 10 episodes...
They certainly owe us a few more episodes. If we have to wait until March, we should get at least 12 episodes.
