Feeling better after three hours sleep. Still some gurgling in the lower regions but no more pain. My rugged digestive system strikes again but damn it for not coping this afternoon. :o( So I watched the end of Carnivale...
( End spoilers and questions )
Still, a fantastic series, and I urge everyone to pick up or rent the DVDs.

( theories after disc 5 )
But now, to bed!

Current Mood: excited

( halfway through )

Boy, I now remember why I liked this so much.

It's not only the superb storytelling and fine acting (for a TV show), it's the fantastic production values, especially the photography. Almost every shot is perfectly lit and framed with fantastic use of perspective and depth of field.
Add to this superb settings and costumes and you have a winner.

Why why why did they have to cancel this after the second season? Why?

Current Mood: impressed

Just saw "The Day That Was The Day". I watched the end credits and DVD legal bits sitting there wibbling, I'm still shaking a bit. It takes a lot to shake me but this stuff did.
When is Series 2 coming out on DVD? I want it now...

The Making of bit was a little short but gave a bit of an insight into the effort that went into the production.

Current Mood: impressed

Argh, I have to wait for over a week before I can watch the final two episodes of Season 1...

Current Mood: curious

Save Carnivàle
Right, need to watch Hot and Bothered before going to bed.

Current Mood: calm

Just watched episodes 7 and 8 and if I wasn't really hooked before, I'm now.
I think part of what makes this series a cut above the rest is the way it manages to combine a story for the episode, character development and metaplot (Ben's and Brother Justin's backgrounds) into one nice whole. Nothing feels tagged on or superfluous.
