Want to see what happens when HBO wants to promise one of its shows is coming back despite not having any footage to make a real teaser? Well this “Big Love” Season 5 teaser will show you. It’s footage from the terrible new opening and quotes from last season. I shouldn’t complain. I’m just happy it’s returning after the short, lackluster last season. I’m happy because I LOVE this show. I love Chloe Sevigny. I love Jeanne Tripplehorn. I love Mary Kay Place. And Anne Dudek. Pretty much everyone but Bill Paxton.

According to this teaser, “Big Love” returns sometime in 2011. Could be January (not really). Could be December (more likely with “Big Love’s” history).

HBO has released a poster for the upcoming season of polygamy drama “Big Love.” The image is not very revealing, but the line “hold tight” is surely a reference to what was happening last season.

When we last saw the Henrickson family, it was coming apart at the scenes. Nicki (Chloe Sevigny) had just been found out as a huge liar and near-cheat. I’m sure much of the next season will focus on the family working out their issues with her. But Entertainment Weekly has a bit of a sneak peek that has nothing to do with that.

When we rejoin the family, man of the house(s) Bill (Bill Paxton) will be running for state senator. But the issue won’t be whether he wins but what he stands to lose along the way. “His goal, if he’s elected, is to put himself and his family out there as public polygamists,” says executive producer Marc V. Olsen, adding, “He can’t be impeached for that. Polygamy is technically a misdemeanor in Utah, [and a misdemeanor is not] an impeachable offense. Nonetheless, the Henrickson wives’ vote is split in a way that threatens to splinter the entire clan. “Bill’s decision renders major friction within the family,” Olsen teases. “What wives will or will not do to promote that agenda or stop that agenda dead in its tracks [is] a big piece of the season.”

“Big Love” Season 4 premiers Sunday Jan. 10.

Clear your mind. You’re going to need every ounce of it to ingest the trailer for Werner Herzog’s “My Son, My Son, What Have Ye Done.”

Based on true events, the movie stars Michael Shannon as Brad McCallum, a man who, for some reason, kills his mother (played by the phenomenal Grace Zabriske). Chloe Sevigny is also in this movie. Zabriske and Sevigny clearly took advantage of those huge “Big Love” breaks.
