The upcoming Southpark video game has tied the difficulty of the game to the skin color you choose in the character creator. I can see why some folks might not like the idea that playing as a black character makes the game harder, but I kind of think it's funny and surprisingly realistic. The truth is that if America was a video game being black would pretty much be like playing on difficult mode.

Think I rid a dissertation on that once...where being WASP ie White Rich Straight Christian Male was the easy mode and every deviation from that upped the difficulty level by some amount.

Did you see Carnivale?

Can't remember I have been so angry about the news of a cancellation before. I mourn it to this very day.

Carnivale was one of my favorite shows. I loved Samson, he knew how to really read people and he was a great leader to a band of nomadic and dysfunctional people. I missed the final episodes and and wondered what happened with Will(I think that was his name) and Brother Justin, who became something other than holy.

I was bitter an entire year for the discontinuation of this show.

There are a lot of shows that get the ax. Especially interesting shows like Carnivale. A show like Penny Dreadful lasted 3 seasons because that's the way creator John Logan wrote it. He didn't see any point in extending it. So, at the climax of the final episode, the screen faded to black and the words The End appeared. It may have been the case with Carnivale, but I suspect that the show, being about the end of magic, probably ended with the conclusion that the world was entering a new phase that affects the future of mankind. The coming of the 2nd world war and the advent of the nuclear age.

I think there was still things to do with Carnivale plot wise.

Perhaps there were. I think the one comfort in this is that it is available on DVD and is probably shown on YouTube. I find that I could look at the series again to see if I missed a key detail to understand it better.

Whom were your favorite characters in Carnivale? I mentioned Samson. I also liked Professor Lodz because he was a conniving man. The mute woman in the wagon who can mentally communicate with Lodz. The tomboy played by Clea Duvall.

Samson, Lodz and Ben.
I loved the conversation between Lodz and Ben where Lodz tells Ben of course he is going to use his powers, he sacrificed his eyes for just a fraction of what Ben possessed. It was truly an intense scene between them and we never did get Lodz backstory, did we?

As intriguing a character as Lodz was, we never really knew who he was or where he came from. But Carnivale was more centered on the time period of the Dust Bowl period in Middle America. Then include the themes of good versus evil, magic, the personal journey to an uncertain future. The show would have been extended with an origin episode for each of the main characters. I remember one scene in an episode where a photograph of Samson in his younger days as a performer in a freak show. It seemed to me that the life of a traveling carnival was all that he ever knew and it is there he knew where he stood.
