Uh, yeah. So I've been asked how I feel about this. I kind of figured it was inevitable when Big Love first aired, so my response is a sort of shrug. Since I have no idea how accurate the representation will be, nor do I care to order HBO for the purpose of finding out, I can't really comment. I'm watching the entire X-files series from the beginning, at a rate of two or three episodes a night. I really don't have time for this.
I think the official Church response is more than appropriate.
So stop sending me the chain emails. And the Facebook threads.
I appreciated the link you included with the church’s official response to the airing of the episode. I really liked the perspective the church has taken in the past and currently with controversial things like this.
Tom Hanks puts this brouhaha into perspective (and waxes prophetic) at the 3rd season premiere of Big Love:
