I'm leaning more toward the religious/spiritual view myself.  The
references to "my father" John is always making are unmistakably
Catholic.  And John is changing this group of folks in spiritual,
emotional, and moral ways.  A show about a computer wouldn't be nearly
as interesting.

Something makes me keep watching this show, even though my head tells
me it's utter crap in terms of plot.  That scene with John spouting
nonsense while everyone is in the parking lot was irritating.  I love
Milch's dialogue, though, and I applaud HBO for doing something like
this, even after they canceled Carnivale.  I don't see this show
coming back for another season, quite honestly.
