Carnivale: Hot and Bothered

[fajrdrako]

Carnivale this week had me mesmerized. Many plot threads are getting very thick indeed. Things I like:

1. The affair between Jonesy and Rita Sue, with a tip of the hat to Sofie. Looks to me like more evidence that Sofie is pregnant. And what more trouble will Stumpy cause?



2. Ben ending up sleeping in Ruthie's bed, and Ruthie throwing Lodz out so energetically. I like Ruthie. She has gumption. Will she also have Ben?



3. Samson being demoted by management. I wonder why. Something to do with Ben?



4. I've always thought Brother Justin was scary, but I always believe Iris is the worse of the two. We shall see. I like Dolan, and wonder if he'll survive knowing them.



5. Loved it when Scudder spoke to Lodz in Ben's dream. (It was Scudder, wasn't it?) We've had chases in mining tunnels, trenches, cornfields and now fields of sugar cane - what's next? What do the labyrinths mean?
