nice post northporter, welcome to the board.
I agree with most fo what you said, keep in mind though- (out of the wives) margene is the only one without a strong mormon background. Anna may be non-religious, but margene was prior to marrying as well, and i dont think she married for a sense of religion but rather for a sense of family. We've seen her take steps towards their religion, but i dont think it's ever played a fundamental (no pun intended) role for her.
So i think she and Ana actually have that part in common. The difference between them is that Ana is confrontational and margene (mostly) just wants to be liked / loved - IOW's she's more of a followers than a leader. I think what Ana brought to the table was her unwillingness to follow.

Yes... maybe that's why I like Ana so much... she puts up a fight when needed.. but she is also sweet at times. I think she's smarter than most people realize. Margie does have a much better connection w/ Ana. I actually think Barb likes her too... but Nikki hates her... Nikki hates any competition... especially now. Thanks for the welcome. I look forward to reading all the past topics... So far this is my fav. Big Love place.

I actually liked Ana as well ,I lilked what she brought to the mix, up until recently. Once upon a time she was the only female willing to really confront bill on issues. Now though that role has been filled by quite a few others ; barb even. It seems the ony things he's adding to the mix now though is manipulating and using (margene especially)... which has caused me to have a change of heart about her.

yes.. I feel a bit uneasy about Ana now... I don't know what her intentions are or if they are good... makes me wish for more episodes.

Welcome to the board northporter! See I didn't really like Anna before... But I'm liking her more and more now. I didn't mind her being the Fourth, but i really hated her being an affair, and then her being pregnant is even more stupider. But I don't want to see her take Bill's child to Serbia. The "rest of the story" needs to be sans Goran though.

I liked ana much more this season than I didd last-- but i still don't know what her true motives are-- she is definielty more"in love" with Margie than bill & II also beleive she does like barba-- this season she has seemed to be the voice of reason at times--- goran--- not sure I think he might be trouble, and ana is involved with that also though I think she would be conficted taking down the hendricksons----- barbais as bill always says his "first true love" i feel the other 2 niki & margie serve a purpose that is it-- niki for her connnections to the compound and his power /greed control issues to have involvement there--- also she serves as a back-up for his supposed belief in the principle Margie was an ana -- a hot little thing vulnerable, without anyplace to go so he took her in rememeber margie was not raised morman & at times really seems grossed out by the religion-she is all about bill and family-- i don't think i have ever heard the word"priciple"out of her mouth--- margie is a waif who did waht she had to survive---- now she has her business she is less and less involved-rememeber her main resaon for bill not to out them as senator was only for her business

I think (from reading blog entries from shortly before & after she met Bill ) that Margene was begining to yearn for more than just a good time. She was at a serious crossroads in her life. She wanted her life to change. She realized the life she was leading (basically an imitation of her mothers) wasn't working for her. She wanted more for herself but didnt really know what that something more was or how to get it.
She went to work at Home Plus. She had a little "work crush" on Bill. She admired him , thought he was "cute". Then when she decided to quit at Home Plus, Bill offered her a job babysitting for his family... and well the rest is history.
My point is, I don't think Margene's coming to be a part of the family was "calculated" on her part. She was surviving before she met Bil. She just wasn't satisfied with mere existence & Bill offered her something more - family,love, religion, purpose... at the very moment she was reaching for something more.

Bill and Barb- she's his first love and been with him through hell and back. But as the years have gone on, she's realizing that he is deeply flawed.
Bill and Nikki- collateral for the home plus and the loan from Roman. She is his link to the past and the compound.
Bill and Margene- midlife crisis

Bill and Anna- Bill got horny for a waitress with an accent.
