Anyhow, my favorite moment was:  
Cousin: has your apostasy brought you spiritual happiness?  
Bill: Shut up  
[/QUOTE]

Funniest thing on TV I’ve seen in a long time. And if this was novelized, it would be the perfect chance to steal Ring Lardner’s '“Shut up”, he explained."

I thought Sarah’s “no credibility” speech was out-of-the-blue and downright mean. But maybe it’s just me.

My favorite scene was when Nikki, who’d been scrubbing the toilet with her rubber gloves on, left the room to speak with Alby. Then her boys, also with rubber gloves on, picked up where she left off with the toilet.

That was cool. But Nicki forgot to fold a cuff on those gloves. If you don’t, the water or cleanser or whatever just runs down your arm. I hate when that happens.

Yeah, she may have been raised on the compound, but has no qualms about teaching her sons to do “women’s work”. 😉
