Carnivale Ending
Hi, Just seen the reviews of this show.Would like to give this show a go.
Does this show end on a cliffhanger or is it wrapped up well..?
The show was planned to have six seasons, with every two seasons forming one "book," so essentially the two seasons we got form a cohesive story that ties up in the last episode. However, there are definitely cliff-hangers and things that leave you guessing, which would have been answered in the third season; it's frustrating, but I don't find it nearly as bad as some do. Certainly, it doesn't make the show pointless to watch -- it's one of the finest series ever aired, and certainly the most atmospheric and visually beautiful.share
Thanks for reply. will check it out.
shareThanks,
that's a real constructive answer, while not giving anything away. Appreciated.
Ahhh, the douche-baggery that is "I came into a thread entitled "Ending" and then complained about spoilers."
Gettin' tired of people doing that. Especially when they're adults. Can't imagine what they were like as children. Probably avatar'd their mothers, for sure.
(Nice picture, bro.)
Just finished watching this series and really enjoyed it. I've read what the writer intended and so the ending doesn't bother me now. Still a shame that we didn't get a couple of more seasons. I do have one question, however, was it Sofie all along who had the power and not her mother? So, did she start the fire too?

No. They make it clear that Appolonia started the fire and not Sofie.
I am almost positive that Scudder is the rapist who got Appolonia pregnant, as they showed Sofie "seeing" the rape, and we saw that it was Scudder.

I think you're wrong re Scudder as the rapist. Surely it was Brother Justin, if memory serves. He is Sofie's father. Recall the seemingly tacked on dialogue about how Justin suddenly became "obsessed" with this Gypsy girl? Then shots of him as a young man banging on her door? I always found those ideas last-minute & artificial, because until whatever dark side came to consume him, Justin seemed like a decent, authentic person & preacher. I don't see him with a history of committing rape. But Scudder as a rapist seems even less likely.
