12. Interesting names in Carnivale & transcripts page

Ben HAWKins is being set up to battle Justin CROWe.

Ben's mother's name was Flora. Justin's sister's name is Iris.

Iris Crowe - Brother Justin's older sister, she cared for him after the death of their mother, Plemina Belyakov, in a train crash in the California Sierras. Though her brother had long since forgotten about his strange powers, she alone kept his secret, fervently praying for the day when the Lord would make His wishes known. With the onset of Justin's visions, she takes action, ruthlessly pursuing what she sees as her brother's divine destiny. Intensely loyal, fiercely protective, she sees her station in life as one of service and devotion to Justin. http://www.hbo.com/carnivale/cast/character/iris_crowe.shtml

We found out in the first episode of the second season that Management is Lucius (?) Belyakov. This means(?) that Iris and Justin are, at the very least, related to Management. They could be Management's kids.

Sophie: Sofie Agnesh Bojakshiya - The Gypsy daughter of Apollonia Bojakshiya, a once renowned tarot-card reader, now catatonic due to complications during Sofie's birth. Sofie shares a telepathic link with her mother, which allows her to lend voice to Apollonia's predictions. Though this symbiotic relationship allows the two to make a living, it also gives Apollonia access to every thought and feeling Sofie may have. Furthermore, Sofie has never developed a true "inner-voice," that role having long-been usurped by her mother. (http://www.hbo.com/carnivale/cast/character/sophie.shtml)

Did you know that Mother Teresa was born in Skoplje, Yugoslavia of Albanian Boyash Roma/Gypsy parents. She was named Agnesh Goaksa Bojakshiya. http://198.62.75.1/www2/gypsies.net/support2.html

I also found a website that has transcripts of some of the shows.

5. I love Carnivale"

We should see if we could get a DU Forum.....I tend to see remarkable similarities with *bush and Justin.....at least the theme anyways.

Who from the Democrats would resemble Ben Hawkins?????

6. I Don't Think There's Enough Interest

for a full forum of its own. But maybe a thread in entertainment or television would stay up long enough for discussion.

I'm sure there are plenty of Deaniacs who could tell you who they'd see in Ben ...

9. I loooove this show. So glad it is back on.

Watched tonight but just as confused as ever.

I cancelled cable after the "election" but to keep reception without antenna I went to Basic, which is 8 channels, two of them religious. But I kept HBO just to see Carnivale.

I want to see management, yet I'm scared.

10. Watched it again

What a great show. I usually have to tape episodes and rewatch them later to catch everything. Glad to know there are other DU'ers who watch.
