Two fannish thoughts for this evening:


1. FMA: vote on the poll with the ultimate Edward character question: braid or ponytail?


2. Carnivale: OMGLikeWTF? I just watched the two most recent episodes. After having missed all since episode 2.2.

Dude, Sophie is so up to something. What, I have no idea. But I'd bet you that 50 cents Samson is riding on that she won't be caressing no antichrist anytime soon.

My heart went out to Samson tonight. I don't know why he liked Management so much (the dude treated him like crap), but the actor is great and his pain seemed real. Especially in the scene with the myster trailer. Also, Samson is one of the few people I like as people, on this show; most of the rest I just find interesting and provocative, but don't really like.

In the previouslys they showed Ben and Sophie gettin' it on in the car. Damn, why do I always miss the juicy episodes?!

...What is Scutter's power again? What exactly was management's? Does evil/good rotate with each generation?

Go Libby!

Ben was unusually Jesusy in the end of this episode. Most of the time he's not even close. Maybe all that power & lore he got from Management's Quickening, I mean, heavenly spirit, afforded him a more Jesusy nature. Like a gift with purchase.

... And I'm going to finish with "Justin's rejecting his traditional religiousity and going to the special hell!" just so I can fit 3 multi-fandom references into a 3 sentence span.

...What is Scutter's power again?

I imagine it's similar to Justin's. A manipulation over people's minds, it seems. Whenever he's tried to use any power he has for the purpose of good, it's backfired.

What exactly was management's?

Same as Ben's. His power had grown weaker because he was weak, from age and injury.

Does evil/good rotate with each generation?

Yes, it surely does. Some people still can't accept the fact that Scudder is the Creature of Dark (it's stated clearly in the monologue at the beginning of the season he IS). Sofie, well, I haven't quite sorted out her deal. Most of us are convinced she's a wild card of some kind. Whoever's side she ends up on, eventually, will be the one that prevails.

Or she could just kill them both and become the Queen of the New Age.

See, for a long time I thought Scudder had Ben's power. Huh.

Or she could just kill them both and become the Queen of the New Age.

She should. How'd she end up sleeping with Ben?


Oh, and I fixed the link at the top of this post, if you were curious about the poll.

My guess is that's how Scudder evaded people for so long. Toying with minds and such. But that's my theory ...

They'd been getting closer in the last few episodes. Then, in that one, they spent the entire episode in the truck together (since Sofie had a freaky vision at the very beginning), talking. When night fell, they had a dance, got back into the car ... one thing led to another and they did the deed. When they started, Sofie had a flash of her mother yelling "NO!!!!", which freaked her out. Oh, and when it was over, it started to rain.

Rain, huh? He's still pulling that weather trick, like the dust storm in season 1. Cool.

What's even freakier? It stopped when Brother Justin's radio sermon came on. Sofie was dancing in the rain and the sermon was "magically" playing on the radio in the truck. Soon as he said something, BAM! Rain's over.
