What I like about Carnivale ...the religious whack jobs cheering on

[NVMojo]

the wicked pastor ...blind as bats, following a lie ...couldn't paint the picture better myself.


And why does it feel so much like part of the 30's has returned to America, pray tell?

1. Watching it now

LOL. Good call.

[NVMojo]

2. you saw it too? Scary in some ways, isn't it?

[Mabus]

3. The killing of the children

to justify "the greater good" and the rest of the hypocrasy. It's great.

4. Yes. It is timely series.

The funny thing is last year I knew a fundie who watched it and never caught on that the pastor was the bad guy.

[NVMojo]

5. "Shit!", said one of the pastors gathered around the radio listening

to the false prophet....

When I saw the scene with the revival goers who were cheering on the evil preacher ...it occurred to me, "those are bush fundies!" Clueless to the false shenigans and machinations of the ruling power.

6. Bingo!

Programed not to question and follow blindly where ever they are led.

I love that program. :D

7. how can you miss the way the preacher treats the maids?

if that isn't evil what is? and the way he tortures the poor paralyzed bishop.

that preacher man is the devil indeed

8. This was last season

I don't know if they ever caught on. I don't know how they missed it last year either. It was pretty in your face obvious.

11. You're right, it was very obvious...especially the last few shows of

last season...how could people really be so blind? (I mean real people, not the ones in the series) actually, I'm surprised to hear a fundie was watching it...

On edit: Oh no, I guess I'm not surprised, the burlesque show is right down their ally..

[Lone_Star_Dem]

13. Funny you should mention the burlesque show

I always wanted to ask him about that but kept talking myself out of it. I was afraid he might feel I was coming on to him.

In all fairness to him he stopped working with me right before the season finale. He may have figured it out last year.

12. It's my new favorite show.

And it's creepy as all get out, not just the weird crap with the old Russian, Ben and his father.

The nasty assed Priest is played beatifully by a real live Republican too, amazing.
