Carnivale: Episode 5 discussion

[LordJezo]

Well, just finished watching the latest episode of Carnivale and I must say, it is now right up there on my list with Band of Brothers.. possibly even better since the show is so out there..

So far it seems like the kid is the second coming of Jesus, but who knows. All of the biblical references are being made but the carnivale still seems like a band of evil. The preacher man seems to be pure good but is also tormented by evil, but, we still havent seen how it makes his way into the story.

The dreams of WWI and the things the kid has seen come out of his dreams don't make much sense either, but, in all the show remains amazing.

Good tv still exists..

show needs to seriously pick up. getting kinda boring while remaing confusing.

 

[LordJezo]

no way!

the more confusing the better.

if it picks up and starts to make sense then it wont be anywhere near as good as it is now

couldn't even sit through the first 10 minutes.

Of course, I was also very busy while watching it. I might give it another go..if I actually had the time to sit down and watch it...but eh...I dunno.

great show. Easily the best thing on right now. How the hell did the main guy get stuck down in that mining shaft??? 😕

Kidnapped by the locals I think.. but, it seems to be some kind of demonic place, with the names over the doors and the dead body. Each passage might be a gateway or something for the different sinners.

Maybe if I knew the bible story I would understand it more, but, Babalyon was a city of Sin..

That whole scene really reminded me of Silent Hill games for some reason...
