Is it me or has the second season of HBO's Carnivāle skittered smack into Texas Chainsaw Massacre territory? Take Episode 3, for starters, where Nick Stahl skulks the backest roads of Ingram, Texas and stumbles upon a band of rowdy rednecks who express themselves artistically by driving nails into baby doll brainpans and such. They don't cotton to strangers neither -- trussing Mr. Stahl feet first into the nearest tree before burying him alive. While, in last night's episode, we got an eyeful of a peeperless ol "crone" who actually cross stitches one of the offending hayseeds' mouth shut! I think we've found the Sawyer fam's new favorite show.
