I may have spoken a little too soon

Remember when I was all like, "OMG, Carnivale is the best show in the whole wide world? Well, After finishing the second season (the post was written after viewing the first season) I'd like to state that the second season kind of sucks. Apparently Carnivale was supposed to have a 5 season run. Then HBO was all, hey, now it's going to be three seasons, so condense that story. Which resulted in a corny-baloney plotline where a squillion things happened in every episode and it became silly. Absurd, even. The element of mystery was gone, and suddenly, you just didn't care about the characters that much. Completely unlike the first season, they really didn't focus on the characters, they focused on trying to fit a five season story into three, which, incidentally, turned into two, and now I have to admit, I can understand why HBO cancelled it. And if you remember, I said that HBO cancelled it because it had come to a natural ending, and then I said after reading essage boards, instead of coming to an ending, it actually ended in an even bigger cliffhanger. Well, now that I've seen it, I can say it's true and it's not. It kind of did come to a natural ending, but then in the last minute, it was like, but wait...maybe he's not dead....!! The second season was a like a bad made-for-the-Sci-Fi-channel-movie, complete with cheesy effects (although it was still quite beautiful). I mean, you can blame HBO for making them condense 5 seasons into 3, but you can't blame them for cancelling it when it started to suck. There, I've said it.
