"Carnivale" discussion thread.

[maveric]

Lets have some predictions here. Is Sophie Brother Justin's child by rape? Did Scudder really get beheaded, or was it just an illusion?

1. Yes

And yes


The real question is the bearded lady a good guy or a bad guy.

4. i liked your question better with the typo..

it's nearly lunchtime, and visions of the breaded lady made me hungry for some chicken parmigiana!

2. That show sucks

Pretentious, long-winded pseudo-Jungian dreck.

Bleh.

[frylock]

5. i can't get into it either..

I only watched this last ep because it comes on after Deadwood and there was nothing else on the TV.

11. It is really essential one starts

from the beginning, Season one. This series is multi-layered and builds each week. I bought the DVD and have shared it with friends to catch them up. I actually learn something new each time I watch any episode!

15. I'm not a fan of Deadwood, either

HBO has produced some great original programming, so we watched both Deadwood and Carnivale. My partner is really into Deadwood, but I don't care for it, though I must admit they have done a good job at de-romanticizing the old west. But Carnivale is just pretentious junk.

10. is that discussion or critique?

[Modem Butterfly]

14. Can't it be both?

[liberalnurse]

12. I agree it is a show for

folks who like mystery and thinking. Not everyone enjoys being intrigued for months on end.

[Modem Butterfly]

13. I watched the entire first season and half of the second

I kept waiting for the show to unsuck itself, but to no avail.

3. Yes

Yes, Sophie is Justin's child. Yes Scudder really got beheaded, it was not an illusion.

I'm looking for Sophie to become an Aimee Semple McPherson type before she realizes what Justin is all about.

6. Are there only two more episodes left this season, or is the show over

I do think Sophie is Justin's child. I also think Scudder was really beheaded.

As far as Lila and Lodz goes, I've missed Lodz' character this season. I like the actor who plays him, and I like Lila even if she is evil. I did think that Lila's comment to Ruthie, when she came around in Lila's bed was hilarious. "What am I doing here"

"You were doing just fine, honey".

7. Lodz

Left a loaded comment that she will see him soon in the flesh.

8. We have a weekly thread here

in the TV Forum.

Also. Daniel Knauf talks/posts regularly at the yahoo HBO Carnivale Group. I have shared a few of his posts from yesterday.

The big, big thing to do if you love Carnivale is to write the HBO Board. I want season 3. Daniel said he has enough for 6 seasons right now!

9. Justins Sister

Talk about a character that is chaos on the battle field.


I did like Scudder at the end (go bad guy go bad guy go)
