Teeney's Character?

It would also be nice if the season contained more than 10 or 12 episodes. The season on the other channels (not premium channels) is I believe, 22 or 23 episodes.

I agree samantha... I think a season for HBO should be a lot longer.

I see some very interesting possible plot lines developing for Teenie. First, since her absence at "camp" Teenie seems to have developed religious attitudes more in keeping with the LDS Church (e.g., expressing sadness that Sarah didn't marry in a Temple) than with her family's independent practice of the principle. It makes sense that Teenie's camp was run by the LDS Church (indeed, it is certainly in keeping with Barb's character to want Teenie to attend a camp run by the LDS Church). There's also the possibility that Barb's family has been having some influence over Teenie (remember the plot line in which Barb's kids started spending time with Barb's family, including participating in LDS Church activities). It will be interesting to see if Teenie starts to rebel against her family's practice of the principle in favor of more conventional LDS beliefs. Perhaps Teenie's tattling about Ben and Margene was an attempt by her to get Margene out of the picture (with Nikki the next target), so that Bill and Barb might go back to being a traditional LDS married couple?

Another possible plot line for Teenie involves her coming of age sexually. It seems that the reason why she was sent to camp was because of the incident in which she charged neighborhood kids money to look at porno magazines. And in the last episode her coming of age sexually was strongly suggested by the scene of her in the bikini at the pool. And let's not forget her inexplicable comment to Ben at the pool about something involving "taking off women's clothes" at the camp. One interesting way this might all develop is for Teenie to experience conflict as her interest in sex is repressed (on the surface) by her new-found traditional LDS thinking, but for her to continue to clandestinely explore her interest in sex through the kind of illicit behavior that we have already seen from her in the charging-kids-to-look-at-porno incident.

I really liked this post. Those would be good storylines!
