We have survived the launch of the Project. It all went very very smooth. Too smooth. :D I feel relieved but at the same time .. strange

I never finished Carnivale because it made me a little crazy to watch. I have intense dislike for Nick Stahl, I don't think he's a good actor. I went into it with an open mind, ready for him to wow me, but he never did.
I also thought it was u n b e l i e v a b l y slow. I watched it with a buddy of mine in Chicago over IM and video players. Later in the season we thought a character showed up, and I said, "Wait, was that x?" His response: "Couldn't be, because that means something actually happened on this show."
That being said, I loved the production (I agree it's gorgeous, even the dirt is gorgeous) and I f'ing loved the supporting characters/actors. If it hadn't been Stahl I probably would've made it completely through, but when I heard it got canceled I didn't bother to watch the last few eps.
The limping guy is awesome, the younger stripper girl is awesome, and Clancy Brown (Justin Crowe) could read me the telephone book and I'd still swoon. Unfortunately, they weren't enough to overcome my confusion over Clea DuVall (whom I previously liked but this show started my disillusionment with her) and ambivalence towards one of the two protagonists.
I totally ganked Mr. Quick's copy of Highlander to see a 27-year-old Clancy Brown play the villain. I had Clancy Brown on the brain for days after this post.
EEEE! I finished the first season. It is a strange show - now we know that Stahl is a "good guy" and Brown is a "bad guy" but Brown is a much much stronger and more attractive character! All that bottle-up torture-ness!

John Hannah's got a fantastic two-ep role, too.
