    Carnivale (Season 2)...

    I never even SAW any critical reaction to the second season, at all. The only ones I saw were from the 'external reviews' link on IMDb. I do remember reviews for the beginning of season 1, where most of them criticized it for a meandering plot and an overabundance of dirty faces (yeah). I have a...

    Carnivale (Season 2)...

    TV shows don't come as good as Carnivale. While I certainly do appreciate HBO and their efforts to better television (I'm definitely not cancelling my subscription), if they REALLY wanted to do something daring, they wouldn't pussy out of this one, and they'd take TV up a notch by showing the...

    Carnivale (Season 2)...

    It wouldn't even be possible. Maybe with TWO two hour movies, but that's still really pushing it. There's still 48 hours of story left. Besides, I don't think Knauf is too interested in making a movie. It wouldn't be the same.

    Scudder disfigured his face as a way of taking himself out of the hunt. He told Belyakov that he had "taken himself out a long time ago." Didn't want anyone recognizing him.

    I have a feeling that the Avataric wild-card that DKnauf mentions is going to turn out to be Sofie. Sofie has had visions of herself with her eyes going black like the CoD's does... not to mention the bits in the first season linking Sofie and Brother Justin, and Lodz's message on the mirror...

    Ben = Prophet of Light Lodz = A power=hungry Carny with "a fraction of what Ben possesses" That would be a quick battle. :) Unless Lodz has something up his sleeve which is always possible. Who knows...

    Carnivale (Season 2)...

    Here it is, straight from the man: "There are three "cycles" to Carnivale story, each lasting 2 seasons, for a total of six seasons. This, by the way, is how it is arced out in my head. HBO makes their commitments one year at a time, so I am as much in the dark about the future of the show...

    Carnivale (Season 2)...

    Okay, I'm just gonna go out on a very short limb and say that this is the best TV show ever devised by man. Tonight's episode was stunning. The acting, the cinematography, the writing, it was all impeccable. Next week's episode, going from the preview, looks to be absolutely stunning. It will...

    My guess as to the other wild card? Sofie. She is the Omega, afterall. :)

    Hah, no problem. Reading Romier's post and seeing that no one had backed you up gave me enough cause to finally register an account here. On a bit of a side note, I Netflix'd the first season of Carnivale and today the first three discs came. I watched the first two episodes and I was...

    The first instance of Justin "feeling it" when Ben used his powers was when Ben healed Scudder's disfigured face, causing Justin to exercise some projectile vomiting all over his breakfast. I remember this because of Belyakov's great line afterward, "It is. So it is." I took it to mean, "Ben has...
