CARNIVALE

"Before the beginning,After the great war between heaven and hell,
God created the earth and gave dominion over it to the crafty ape he called man.
And to each generation was born a creature of light and a creature of darkness,
And great armies clashed by night in the ancient war between good and evil.
There was magic then,Nobility,And unimaginable cruelty.
And so it was until the day that a false sun exploded over Trinity,
And man forever traded away wonder for reason."

i am just so intrigued by this show. this show is an idiosyncrasy in it's own right. seriously. have you watched it? if i ever miss an episode, i would slam my head against a wall. eagerly awaiting a dvd set for this series. HBO rocks!!! 'Carnivale' is filled with mystery and it eviscerates all signs of 'lameness' or 'flaws' in a plot. though confusing at times, it is rather thought-provoking. a sort of fantasy show, based in the time of the Great Depression.
the ensemble of characters on the show is superb:

• the whole circus is run by a wise dwarf, Samson(irony of that name.)
• the bearded lady who is a rather kind soul.
• Lodz, creepy blind old man who 'sees' things. cool shit when he could exp ben's dream.wow.
• a crazy, paralysed gypsy queen, apollonia. whoa,she communicates through mind.she can foretell stuff too. speaks mostly to her daughter.
• her daughter, sophie. think she;'s the future love interest of ben hawkins.
• ben hawkins. ahah. lead. he's deemed 'evil'. has powers. story twirls around him.
• holiest preist ever. holy fuck! he made a woman who stole from church vomit coins by the dozens in repentence. omg.
• lizard man,bloody cynical, known as Gecko.
• siamese twins!!!
• a mentally retarded giant.
• 3 fat ladies...who are supposedly 'whores'. weird.
• tons tons more. but i've only seen one episode, and this is what i noted. ahaha.

dang. the plot revolves around so many factors. my head is spinning. ben hawkins is an extremely interesting character. yes hear me rant and rave over nick stahl. he's not good-looking, but he has all the attributes of a man with an air of mystery. gahhh. and the dreams. wow. now i know why each episode was over a $1 million. nothing else to say right now. im so caught up in the 'carnivale' vibe. im so gonna be an avid follower of the show. just read synopsis of future episodes,aired in the states, but soon tobe aired here. i love spoilers. i like having a feel of the show. u know. so yea, dont really mind when pple tell me what happens before i watch smthg. but!!! dont talk to me when im in the midst of watching smthg. ok assholes?
