ok. We have a conflict here. In Carnivale, Ben is the Chosen one, and
some of the other carnies are wearing the fat suits.
And I am not sure, but I think that the kid from the ferris wheel
accident that was resurrected proves that he's the Chosen one. Now,
how will the kid from the ferris wheel change. We would probably see
him back too, but for the fact that the show was cancelled.
I still think that Ferris Wheel is part of that tree tattoo. I STILL
keep thinking I see both images when they show the ferris wheel.

Naturally,
The tattoo burning and the ferris
wheel falling apart -- too close for comfort.
Ben has other powers too? I suppose we would find out that he has the
power of slapstick but for the cancellation. How did he bring back the
entire trailer of management? SLAPSTIC I TELL YA!

Well, since they found out that the main character can't die, this is
interesting since Barbeau died and was resurrected just like the kid on
the ferris wheel. So those two are now firmly in the can't die camp
too I guess.

Didn't John Donne write that No Man is a Vegetable unto Himself poem
And, apparently, this vegetation power doesn't take as much, cos
nothing died when he did this?
I am wondering like hell what Iris is up to, and what she is planning
and what she can and cannot do. I don't suppose Knauf would consider
tuyrning her into a vegetable if he does a grand conclusion type ending
movie.
