I think Quentin is very viable as the carver. Here is my list of suspects starting with the most probability:
Spoiler:
<ol><li>Quentin</li><li>Matt - although that would make Christian's rape very weird</li><li>Meril</li></il>


I used a spoiler tag just to be safe, eventhough it's just speculation.


I think that's a good list. If it isn't a random person, I think it will most likely be one of those three. I can't believe they are going to make you wait to the end of the season though. I think that kind of sucks, and I'd really like to see if resolved soon and move onto some totally different plotlines.

It's not gonna be Quentin. No way, no how.

There was one spoilered guess as to who the carver might be that raised my eyebrow as a potential good call. I hadn't even considered that, and it also jives a lot with something e online's Kristin said a couple weeks ago about the carver sharing DNA with one of the main characters, or that the carver could be one of the main characters themselves.

But Quentin is just far too obvious, even by FX's standards. They are purposely hitting us over the head with the Quentin suspicions.

If it isn't Quentin, there is only one man I think makes any sense:

Is it really necessary to spoilerize speculation and guessing on who the carver is? I don't get the point. It isn't like any of it can ruin anything, since no one knows for sure if what is being said will prove to be true.

Anyway, in response to the above post, how could it be Sean? Was his whole attack last season just some kind of fantasy sequence or a figment of his imagination?

Yeah, I dont think they would do that. It is far too lame and basically unfair. I seriously doubt it is Sean.

No, that can't be.

Spoiler:
Christian's father's semen would be a close match to Christian's, but not identical. They would have figured out it was a relative of Christian, but not him personally. Someone planted the condom there. If you're thinking it was Christian's father who planted it, how did he get his son's semen in the first place?

The only way that makes sense to me in any way is

Spoiler:
Because he wasn't raped.

Otherwise I don't see how it's him. Why do you think it is?

Great episode. :up: Supr didn't watch it last night because he wanted to watch the Batman movies he just bought, so I described the episode to him in one word: "Wow."

This season was somewhat of a let-down compared to the first two seasons. But this episode and what will follow (most likely) are making it look like it might keep up with the first two seasons. :up:

Clyde099 10-19-05 06:30 PM

Last night's episode was amazing, imho it's been one of the best episodes of all three season. I also do not believe that Quentin is the carver, perhaps Ava could be doing all this? I have a strange feeling she'll come back this season.

There are two reasons. You got one. The other?

Spoiler:
Only half of his face was done. I'd have to go back and check (and I don't have DVDs), but maybe that's because he couldn't make the cut right since he was working on himself. The problem with that is that it means we were lied to with that scene last year, though.

Dave99 10-19-05 09:09 PM

Here's a left fielder: perhaps christian is the carver, but the attack in that episode was sean, knowing that it would clear christian of being a suspect...and more importantly save the business.

treszoks 10-19-05 09:12 PM

And from the left field bleachers: perhaps the detective carved herself...

Actually Ava and Liz are on the top of my Carver list.

meritocracy 10-20-05 02:17 AM

I also hope Ava shows up again, however, Liz is my top suspect as well.

As soon as I heard there was another victim I thought for sure Sean had gone out and done it just to save Christian... but his reaction would suggest otherwise.

Patman 10-20-05 07:15 AM

The other option is for Kimber to be the Carver (she has easy access to Christian's swimmers), but she's probably not strong enough, but maybe I'm wrong about her needing to be strong if she's paralyzing her victims.

I think there's NO WAY it's a woman:

1) The Rapes
2) Notice how gently he laid Sean down when he injected him. Sean's not a small guy.
3) The voice box. It would disguise a voice, and that's a very low voice
4) No boobies. The carver has a pretty flat chest.

dadaluholla 10-20-05 09:32 AM

For next week's episode thread, can we add a "who do you think the carver is" poll? That might be fun.

Obviously, you've never watched episodes of Scooby Doo... :)

1 - Strap-on
2 - Liz could.
3 - modulate...schmodulate
4 - Flattening boobies isn't tough to do.

I thought of her too. I read somewhere that she was coming back but that was a while ago and before they even started filming so...

if anyone is interested in the ew issue from a month ago with nip/tuck on the cover, the creator said
Spoiler:
that the carver, will probably be revealed in the season finale

Maybe the carver is a pre-op!!!

You know how I hate PRE-OPS!!!!!

sq240 10-20-05 04:20 PM

Currently Ava and Quentin are on the top of my list, but I am starting to lean towards Quentin being the red herring. For a while I thought it was Matt, but I don't see them involving him in two different storylines. The thing that gets me thinking though is the last victim and the small group of people that would have the knowledge of her being a fraud. Obviously, the story is not going to go public otherwise McNamara/Troy would have to deal with the legality of the woman being awake during the surgery. That leads me to think it is Liz, but there is no way the body types of Liz and the Carver match. I still think it is a real possibility that Christian did actually kill that last victim.

Meril is a possiblity, but my gut tells me it is not him. Here is one idea that no one has mentioned, what about the tranny that was going through the sex change that became friends with Liz and Julia. Body types match, and lets face it he/she was pretty messed up mentally. Maybe that is a little far fetched.... I still think the Carver is someone fairly major to the show.

Cusm 10-20-05 04:34 PM

I bet it is one of their former patients, I really hope it is not Liz or Quenton, I do not think that would be a good resolution to a great story.

Hmmm....now I'm thinking.

Remember that guy from S1 who had the excess fluid drained from his chest so he could get into the Eyes Wide Shut type orgy parties? Christain then told him he had hepititus (or some STD) and basically realized he would be banging fat German chicks from here on out since he couldn't cut it anymore. What about him?

Thats not bad, but if you are going to suggest him than you can just start suggesting tons of other people. Basically all of their patients had issues with self esteem and could possibly have gone crazy enough to be the Carver from being turned down for surgery. Somehow, I have a feeling they are going to be good enough to basically fool everyone about who the Carver will be. That is just what I have gathered from watching all the episodes so far.
