Actually, "Carnivale" wasn't about the battle between "light" and "darkness." It was about the FINAL BATTLE between light and darkness, which would've culminated with the explosion of the atomic bomb at Trinity, when man forever traded wonder for reason. The two season that were produced were...

I'll be cancelling my HBO sub. Part of its protest, but a part of it's that I don't want to spend money on it anymore. I'd rather rent or buy DVDs of movies than watch them on HBO, and "Carnivale" and "Deadwood" are the only original series I watch, and "Deadwood" hasn't been keeping my...

I'm almost speechless. There's a clarity of vision behind this series that I've never seen before. The foreshadowing, the symbolism, the storytelling, the tension, the performances, the direction, the cinematography, the sets, the costumes, the casting... it's just astounding. Hands down...

Justin is more than just an avatar, he's the Usher of Destruction. This would seem to be a very important plot point that's barely been touched upon this season, so I don't think that come this Sunday, we've seen the last of Justin. Whatever big battle is coming up in the finale of the second...

Okay, I just did a little checking, and the story does not end with this season. There are still four more seasons to go. (Whether HBO actually gives us four more has yet to be determined, unfortunately...) From Daniel Knauf himself: SOURCE...

I have a feeling that this show was designed to do a lot more than just set up a conflict between Ben and Justin. So even if that does happen in the "final" episode this season, it doesn't necessarily mean the story is over. It's been set up since the first episode of the first season that...

About the "thing" in the jar... I remember it from the first season when Ben went into the trailer. It opened its eyes.

Sophie might be a wild-card that Knauf made mention of. Since the Avatar lines we've seen already (Scudder->Ben, and Management->Justin) have been male dominant, it might make some sense that they would also be balanced out with a female line. We've already seen one possible female line...

Here's an interesting thought about Ben and Scudder -- they could be Merovingians, who carry the bloodline of Christ. Since we have involvement of a group claiming to be Templars, this could be a distinct possibility. Also, there was a reference to Scudder's "holy blood." Just my...

Yeah, it was implied it was Ben, but he didn't come right out and state it, so I think we're meant to assume he meant Ben. It could be intentional misdirection, though.

Yes, I, too thought Justin was growing horns. I'm thinking that that was something inentional (misdirection?) on the part of the show since so many viewers seemed to think the same thing!
