just out of curiosity, is anyone else as into this show as i am?

Charli · **Posted:** Sun Feb 20, 2005 9:00 pm

We were last year. Big time.

And at the beginning of the season, but the last three episodes we've barely seen. Usually we make the effort to watch it but now my interest has waned and haven't seen the last two.

Should we try again? Have we missed a lot?

Had to drop HBO, Cinemax & Showtime as one part of a way to free up more money for monthly bills. Haven't seen HBO for about seven months now.

don't watch it. everyone looks so tattered and dirty all the time.

i saw a promo and noticed adrienne barbeau was on it. is this true? i couldn't tell because here breasts were too covered up.

Yes, Adrienne Barbeau was in the episodes I saw.

I never could get into it too much because I would miss an episode and be completely lost as to what in the hell was going on. Then I would catch the repeats, still be just as lost and pretty much gave up. Maybe I'll try again this season, but there seems to be a bit too much weirdness for weirdness' sake for me.

ok, if you haven't been watching, tonight's episode would be a BAD place to start.

I tried to get into it, but I just cant.

I actually got into Deadwood, however.

They sure like to drop the F bomb int that show.

I'm a junkie for it Chase... as for last night's episode, the crammed in a ton about Scudder and Management and I'm sure I missed alot (but got the basic relation stuff down finally). Will have to catch it again this week to see if I can figure out what's going on.

you know my feelings on this...though I'm curious as to how much longer they can stretch this out. Reminds me of the first season where you can totally tell they found out they'd be on for longer than a season and slowed the pace of that shit down...

i love show - hate to miss it but as I am stuck in this piece of shit known as Orlando, FL - I had to miss it last night as the 400 per night hotel didn't have HBO. These bastards.

Love this program.

Originality, attention to unique details - speech - costuming - multiple interwoven storylines. So much to enjoy. Hope it runs into a third season. However if everything is wrapped up in the next three episodes, I'd be okay with it too.

Clancy Brown as Brother Justin is so badass.

Hard to believe Brother Justin and Mr. Krabs are the same person, ain't it?

I find myself fighting the urge to listen for it during Carnivale.

The Krabs voice only halfway appears when he bellows from the pulpit at least in this week's episode... which was most engrossing - They are definitely connecting a few more dots.

you mean the kurgen?

Black Magic Putin · **Posted:** Mon Feb 28, 2005 12:53 pm

is it just me or did this show just totally eschew subtlety in the past 2 weeks?

jayarr · **Posted:** Mon Feb 28, 2005 1:20 pm

Subtlety be damned - these are the potential endtimes!! Was it Stoud's answer to the gas station attendant's, "Thank you lord" (Bang!) or the bloody ferris wheel car?

Seriously, you're right. It seems they traded the subtlety of the story setup in for the whiz bang finale.

It's all coming down now. I'm ok with it though, I desperately crave some resolution. I just hope they don't make things too tidy.

I'm addicted to this one...I love the look of the whole thing.

How long is it supposed to be? Is it a two season thing...or longer? I can't remember, but I'll be sad when it's over.

How can anyone not love Sampson?

Charli · **Posted:** Mon Feb 28, 2005 2:14 pm

Can someone give me an accurate Synopsis of what the hell has been going on the last three weeks or so?

Who is Krabs? I feel lost. I'll try and catch up via re-runnings of it this week, but I get the feeling that won't help.

thanks.

Krabs? I have been watching and I don't recognize the name..is that the half man/half woman?

The guy who plays Brother Justin also does the voice of SpongeBob's boss, Mr. Krabs.

np: Beck - "E-pro"

Carnivale!

DumpJack · **Posted:** Mon Mar 07, 2005 12:21 am

Shaping up to be a good one, thus far.

Good episode last night...very good direction. I hope they don't cancel the show or try to wrap up the whole thing tonight.

Black Magic Putin · **Posted:** Mon Mar 21, 2005 11:01 am

I've read that it's the Season Finale. Rumour has it that HBO has yet to renew it, but apparantly the series creators have envisioned the show extending beyond Season 2.
