Carnivale

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

See, I KNEW it would be bad the second I started thinking Jonesy and Libby were sweet - I swear that's the death knell of onscreen couples with me lately. They were DOOMED. HMPH. *mutters about stupid doomed relationships*

And Sophie! ACK! That did throw me for a curve, because I did NOT expect Sophie to carry on Justin's heritage. (Or even expect Sophie to be Justin's daughter, for that matter.) But I guess the name of the show's game is "fate." None of these people had a choice.

I see why people wanted another season. But on the other hand, it's sort of come full circle while the wheels keep spinning. Ben's now where Management was - wounded and traveling with the carnival. And this is just a never-ending battle between good and evil.

It is kinda strange that Ben did what he needed to do, but Sophie could still heal Justin. You'd think that would have ended things. Lodz did call Sophie the "Omega" so I guess things were supposed to end with her all along. But...hmm. Why would Justin be revived then? Wouldn't Sophie now be this force? Hmm. Loose end.

Overall, very entertaining and worth watching in spite of the loose ends in the finale. Creepy as hell, mostly in a good way. (Although there were a few times I had to fast-forward through parts. I have a low "ick" level about some things.)

Very side note - the guy who played Justin is apparently the voice of Mr. Krabs on Spongebob Squarepants. TRY AND WRAP YOUR MIND AROUND THAT ONE. I refuse to believe that voice comes out of that man.



And now I'm headed to bed.

This does not stop me from wanting him to take me in a manly fashion. omgthevoice</small Right. YES, he is very creepy in that role. Especially with his sister cuz. ... EW. Although, I have to say, that the one that freaked me out the most was when they were in the ghost town and the girl died and OMG, WORST FATE EVER. GAH. Also there was John Hannah.

And you know what? I think Ron Moore wrote that episode. Having now seen Carnivale, I can see why Ronbaby's head's been in this whole destiny-of-the-gods stuff with BSG.

Heh, Clancy Brown has done a lot of voices for a lot of things ^^

Glad you liked the show! (heeeee, Patrick Bauchau!!)

I saw that! He's like this big voice actor! Which is really really strange to think of when watching his character on this!

I did like it! Yay!

That or the other way around, watching this cartoon or something and hearing his voice and imagining Brother Justin... It's really creepy :p

I was irked that all through the season, they were all, "Final battle between good and evil coming up! One will make it, the other will die forever! We really mean it!" And then...they're both still alive at the end. Bah, I say.

When I'm not about to leave for work, I'll hunt down the link for the interview with Dan Knauf I read a while back about his plans for seasons three through six. It is just...gah. Too much for my creep-o-meter. And my fanfic-posing-as-real-TV meter. Sofie and Justin DO NOT NEED TO GET MARRIED, NO, NO, NO.

My thoughts exactly.

But at least maybe Jonesy lived? Ben was looking for him and all. Doesn't mean he did live, but I want him to live!
