timepiececlockOnly three episodes left of Carnivale! And one's tonight. It doesn't seem fair... I don't feel like we're anywhere near an ending. There's been so much character build up here, but I don't feel like we're heading toward the main battle yet. You know, the battle between Justin and Ben.
I liked Samson in last week's episode. I just like Samson's character in general. He's very layered, in a kind of charming, though sometimes frustrating way.
I'm still not sure what Lods is. This is a source of irritation for me, though I'm sure that's the point.
I finally gave in and started liking Jonesy. It's so fascinating to watch the differences in his interactions with Rita Sue and Sophie. And my heart's breaking all up for Rita Sue. And her husband. I don't think Sophie and Jonesy should get together, but his crush is awfully cute to watch.
The think with Ruthie and the kiss wasn't a surprise. I can't tell if he just wants her, or if she's doing her damndest to seduce him. Maybe both. But I'm glad he ran away. Because as interesting as their relationship would be, the fact that she also slept with his father adds an incestuous level to it, and a complex secual relationship is exactly what Ben doesn't need at the moment. His plate is awfully full.
It also doesn't surprise me to learn that Sophie's father raped her mother. You could tell that something was up with the history there. Well, I didn't expect that exactly, but I did know it was more complicated than it seemed on the surface. What freaks me is that her father is TreeBack!Man. Now, is TreeBack!Man the Devill? Is he Hack Scutter, making Sophie ben's sister? Is he the person who was the Satanic counterpart to Scutter, the way Justin is the evil counterpart to Ben? Why has it been hinted to us that Justin is becoming TreeBack!Man? If he does, who was the first TreeBack!Man?
Is TreeBack!Man the CigaretteSmokingMan of a past life? Is Ben Hawkin's Fox Mulder's long lost brother too? Who's parents were doing who, back in the Great War?
When will we get to see some dramatic flashes of lightning, and some plague, and army of corpses, and some mountains disappearing with a wave of a hand?
If Ben starts dreaming again in tonight's episode, will the Bearenstein Bear Of The Trenches come back?
