You are going to have to help me out here.
Did Bill have some type of religious experience?
Wasn't it that Brigham Young was (in part) chosen to take over for Smith because people claimed that his face changed to Joseph Smith during a preaching?
It was like Bill had some type of vision, going back to Smith? Was that some type of "message" from God?

Oh Yeah! I didn't catch that! I believe there is some history that points to Smith giving the Priesthood to women. Good pick up!

Wasn't it that Brigham Young was (in part) chosen to take over for Smith because people claimed that his face changed to Joseph Smith during a preaching? It was like Bill had some type of vision, going back to Smith? Was that some type of "message" from God? In the "Inside the Episode" the writers say that Bill had been yammering about the principle and family for all this time, and his vision was that he suddenly saw the history of polygamy in terms of real people, real families. He realized that love of people is more important than doctrine, and keeping the faith means living it out in daily relationships. Or something like that. Some theologian (maybe Buechner but I'm not sure) talks about the "gallery people." They are all those who came before us in faith (regardless of the faith). They are watching from the gallery and seeing how we carry on what they left behind. Someday we will be in the gallery, watching what happens when we are gone. IMO, Bill suddenly saw the real people in the gallery and in his life today and he was moved to do something to free the people from life in the shadows. He was inspired because he saw polygamists as people, both past and present. When he spoke out in the senate it was because of the way the law impacts the people, not because he believed in some abstract principle.

I think he was writing down the vision he had. Maybe it was also a statement he wanted to publish prior to going to prison.
Did anyone remember how he asked Emma Smith earlier in the season "How many more miles?" and all she said was to be careful...I'm wondering if that meant anything since she she was in this last episode - maybe seeing her again indicated his life was coming to a close.

Oh yeah, he did ask her how many more miles.
Are we sure Bill isn't supposed to be some type of Joseph Smith prophet? Or visionary?
I always thought is was odd how he had that vision and all with Emma Smith.

(It doesn't play on mine @ home, so I had to go elsewhere to view it, LOL.)

What is it with people that can't see the HBO Vids?! Jeebus, get an Internet Browser released in this decade! HBO's site is done in HTML5... which is the new internet standard.

Rather than feeling annoyed, try opening a dictionary if your spellchecker isn't working, Fuck you, you stupid cunt. Aren't you articulate with your words. I'm glad you know how to spell "cunt" because you couldn't spell "annoyed, with, or people." F.y.i; This Is a "Big Love" forum, not a "Flavor Of Love" forum. So stop acting so ghetto you fucking troll. And don't sign in with another lame guest name (because you've already signed in with 2).
