I get so confused by this show. I finally realized after talking to a co-worker that in last night's episode the little boy & girl were Justin & his sister. I like it alot, but there are too many confusing things about it. Does anybody else watch this show?

Re: Carnivale - what is up with this show?
Justin creeps me out too. He is always killing people so I can't see how he can be good. But he is killing sinners so who knows. His sister is a little wierd too. There must be more to her story. I think she's gonna hook up with the radio guy.
I really didn't understand the episode with Ben in the mine. Was he suppose to be choosing a path to take? And why was the blind man sitting outside the mine waiting for him. How did he even know he was there?

kAREN GOOD ONE WITH THE MINE AND THE PATH. YEAH HOW DID THE OLD MAN KNOW HE WAS THERE. OH BUT WAIT DOESNT THE BLIND MAN HAVE SOME POWERS ALSO, REMEBER WHEN BEN WAS SLEEPING AND THE BLIND MAN TRIED TO READ HIS DREAMS AND GOT FREAKED OUT.
HIS SISTER IS FREAKED OUT MAYBE SHE IS THE DEVILS LIKE MISTRESS OR CARETAKER. I STILL THINK THE PREACHER IS THE DEVIL.

lotz wants Ben's powers to get his old job back, IMO. (Samson currently has it) Lots does currently have powers of his won.
Iris- it has double meaning. The Flower as well as a part of the eye. . Perhaps she has the gift of sight?

Re: Carnivale - what is up with this show?
this show has me aggravated and tuned in both at the same time!!!
I kinda thought maybe Ben and Justin were like fallen angels. Not necessarily God and the Devil...but who the freak knows. I have also heard theories that they are brothers. I don't like Brother Justin AT ALL. I think he's miscast - he's like too big or something. Not into him OR his storyline. I feel like he's bad for many reasons - but I know he is lusting bad over his sister. Remember in the beginning when he saw her in the shower and then whipped himself with that thing in his bedroom (this happens in DaVinci code - some weird religious thing...)
Ben/Scudder I just don't get. But I am sure the dwarf guy has something to do with it, because that bear mask was on the door of his trailer that random time. After the bear was in the dream.
What was with the fetus in the jar in that mystery trailer that disappeared after he found it? It like winked or something...
Management..no idea. This kind of plays into my fallen angel theory though -that 'management' is God actually - or the divine...like not really there, but the dwarf (Samson?) is able to channel it or something.
I don't know...if it doesnt' come together soon, I might give up. There is a lot of info on their site, where people like talk about it - and everybody is confused so don't feel bad!!!!!

I think the blind man has powers to read peoples minds ... he was reading Ben's dreams.
Every now and then they all mention St. Louis. Something happened there that changed their lives. I think I need to call up HBO and get some answers lol.
Management....I definately do not think it is a ' human' but I'm not sure if it is good or evil yet.

Re: Carnivale - what is up with this show?
Ok, NOW I AM MORE CONFUSED!!! (j/k!)
I never thought that deeply into all of this stuff, but now that everybody has brought stuff up I realize how much I missed and I feel stupid. Totally didn't connect Justin hitting himself after seeing his sister. I feel dumb.
Wacky, that could be that they are all souls but again, not sure. That's the thing about this show, there are alot of questions about stuff & it makes you think. That's what makes it a good show!
I think that management sent the blind guy to be part of Ben's dream (remember after the girl was killed & they did a count & said it was ok, they knew where Ben & the blind man were). So I'm not sure if it is that the blind man wants Ben's powers or if he is there to help Ben realize his power. That may be why the blind guy hit the bearded lady after she told him how Ben helped the guy with the broken arm. Maybe he was angry that he was not there when Ben accepted his healing power.

Re: Carnivale - what is up with this show?
Hey Jenny, glad you found this post, I was thinking of posting again!
To answer your question - I HAVE NO IDEA. Ok, so I didn't answer your question!! Again, no clue what the heck is going on. Ok, and he's also the left hand of G_d - forgive me for not knowing, but does that mean he is bad? Good?

Re: Carnivale - what is up with this show?
I loved it this week.. I think the ring signifies the devil or something. I cant wait till sunday when Samson catches the Blind guy w/management.
The psych ward was def freaky. I think the shrink is going to die.
And what did that Wanted Sign say for Ben. That guy ripped it off to fast for my eyes
