I am beginning to think Heber was one of the most vile one of the group.

Stanley Kimball, Heber Kimball's biographer, described Heber as "powerfully built" and "barrel-chested," standing 6 feet tall and weighing about 200 pounds. The actor looks too small.

I thought you were announcing a new Harold B. Lee movie.

He's the one who complained the young men living polygamy were taking all the good looking girls, and all he was left with was the ugly ones. I mean, he gave the game away with that comment!

Yikes. Are they recycling the wardrobe from “Witnesses”? This doesn’t look good at all. Perhaps they should have titled this effort “Witnesses Jr.”?

Good point. Looking at the actor playing BY, I can’t help but wonder…. For “Witnesses,” the Executive Producer boasted about how they weren’t going to “shy away” from “tough issues.” Is that same principle in effect for *this* movie? Are they going to have BY discussing Adam-God, for example? Or saying that the MMM was justified? Or his comment about “death on the spot” for miscegenation? I can imagine them saying: “No, that’s outside of the period we’re depicting,” but that’s a cop-out. They deliberately included a flash-forward in “Witnesses” as a Mopologetic strategy.

And he is the one that voluntold his daughter to be Joseph's wife at the age of 14. I am sure he said something like keep sweet.

This is bound to be a bigger success than the original, just like The Empire Strikes Back.
