After an interminably long stroll, Clancy suddenly finds himself in front of a house of ill repute, and he looks upward to see the same Mr. Chin's sign that appeared in his dream. He's solicited by an Asian prostitute as he stares at the sign, but when he grabs her arm to push her away she snarls at him in Chinese ("Can you believe they're actually making a Firefly movie?") and runs off. And then as Clancy stands there, bathed in the red neon light, it suddenly begins to snow. Within seconds, the street is covered (if by "covered" you mean "rendered in CGI"), and he finds himself standing alone in the center of the storm. The snow is then replaced by a rain of blood, and Clancy raises his arms and does a passable imitation of Tim Robbins at the end of Shawshank Redemption.

Forgive me, but what is a "shout-out"? Was the parenthetical a translation of what was said, or was the reviewer just reminded of Firefly because of the chinese?

Aaron, the Carnivale recapper over at Television Without Pity dropped this gem near the end of the pilot ep recap:

The recap starts here:

And if you get a chance to watch Carnivale, go for it-- very good, very spooky, and so much visual imagery and symbolism that you're occupied for hours or days wondering what each line and shot really means.
