2. I just hope it gets renewed! They're talking like this might be the end.

Of the show that is. I hope not.

3. Haha, I just had this conversation with a friend...

All my favourite shows get cancelled after the second season. First Twin Peaks, then this Danish show I'm into called 'Riget'...so I kind of expect it with Carnivale, but I'm really hoping there's more after this season.

24. Even if they have a showdown between Justin and Ben on the last ep

of this season, there are so many more stories to be told by the NEXT GENERATON:CARNIVALE!

It's just too perfect not to be.

14. someone told me it means the end

alpha to omega. That she is the one who will decide the fate of the final battle. (see the post in the TV chat group).

20. I don't know...

She is the daughter of a COD (Creature of Darkness) if she bears a child of her father's it's too predictable and doesn't explain why/how she is the omega. If she bears a child of a COL (Creature of Light) and Justin thinks it's his and the line is carried on but it turns out to be Ben's... Perfect.

Somehow Sophie is the end player I just haven't managed to figure it out yet.

7. it's an awesome show and part of me is glad it's only going to be a few

seasons...to be honest, after the big showdown any subsequent plot would seem anticlimactic to me, so I'm honestly glad that the creators realized this before we had a "jump the shark" season...

11. How does it piss off fundamentalists?

It presents fixed ideas of good and evil. That seems in keeping with fundamentalism. Has there been some scandal about the show that I've missed?

15. It shows the christian preacher as the incarnation of evil.

And Scudder as well as Samson as Knights of Templar guys.
You do the math.

17. that's a stretch

evil always poses as good. Even fundamentalists can figure that one out.

12. This is Knights of Templar stuff. Maybe they'll show chritianity...

as a "false" faith. Scudder had a secret document that was hidden in a Priory of some sort.

23. Do you remember when Ben found the Gospel of Matthias?

Edited on Wed Mar-16-05 04:21 AM by Lone_Star_Dem

It was in the Managements coach. How about throwing in a little Gnosticism for good measure. This storyline is simply amazing.

Not to mention that that is the text that Justin is following...

19. What's up with Iris

suddenly we find out she's plotting against Justin. She's killed all those people. I wonder if there isn't going to be some big surprise in the final episode.

27. Good question, it doesn't make sense.

But that's what keeps us watching. We don't know how they'll wrap everything up with just 2 episodes left. Maybe they're planning a real Dallas/JR type cliffhanger.

21. Excellent show. I think it could grow into another season.

Conventional wisdom would tell you the last episode of this season should be the end of it all. But I can see a storyline beyond the ultimate confrontation between The Usher (Justin) and The Avatar (Ben). Sophie (The Omega) is Justin's daughter and she and Ben did have intercourse in one of the earlier episodes. The storm that was going on stopped abruptly at the moment of climax. It could be very interesting if Sophie, who carries the blood of The Usher, is pregnant with the child of The Avatar.
