Love the fact that they ended up using their Egyptian backdrop for the revival. I'm hoping there will be a little bit of them painting over the crosses in the next episode.

I'm kind of curious about Jonesy. In the last episode he griped about Babe Ruth, and always has a baseball cap on. Plus, he tried teaching Sofie how to improve her baseball playing. Did people wear baseball hats as fashion back then?

With Sofie, her wearing pants in that era seems like it would be a pretty big deal.

I really want a sticker of the sun and moon logo Carnivale has on the door of the truck.

Just started watching this because of your posts drezdn, thanks. I'm enjoying the journey so far. Very Lynchian.

The Benjamin St. John parts made me squirm. I felt bad for everyone involved.

I liked finding out more about Ben's family (but IRL genealogy is boring).
