There's been a lot of talk about Alex Jane and the Barlows, but what about the Ruskins? PJ'S BACKGROUND CONNECTION TO RJ via the carnival may be through his wife's family:
RUSKIN: means red haired; derived from words Rose and Royce "ROY" [is this just to further symbolize that red hair loving ROY killed Angela Ruskin -- or it is further commentary on the Ruskin family background]
LISBON: I didn't know your wife was from this world, too?
JANE: Oh, yeah, her grandparents were Carnie royalty. They ran big metal, ferris wheels, ghost trains. They ran them all across the midwest...
INTERESTING: Because the Ferris Wheel was named by the man who designed it, George Washington Gale Ferris -- YET Ferris is pronounced same as "Ferrus," coincidentally as FERRUS=IRON and the Ferris Wheel is made of IRON
Yes, a FERRIS WHEEL IS CUT IRON [now a lot of things are made from iron, which is made into steel, like the hull of ships, automobiles and variance appliances and such, but still thought this was worth mentioning]
And, if someone was afraid of heights, a FERRIS WHEEL wouldn't be a fun ride to go on [I personally hate them]
In episode -- "THROWING FIRE"
Jane gets dizzy, has flashbacks to when he and his dad sit atop the Ferris wheel as Patrick looks down at people below and guesses their life stories -- this was the episode where we see memory of how Jane's father wanted him to scam the little girl with cancer
FERRIS WHEEL symbolizes circle of life but also that one is going nowhere, going in circles to nowhere -- Jane on the Ferris Wheel with his dad symbolic of his life going nowhere, a life of looking down upon people...
Jane gets girl's mother to buy crystal ball, giving his father money without scamming the little girl by giving her false hope. Father goes off to play POKER with cash.
RJ has to have connection to Jane's past somehow -- with RJ knowing of Jane more than vice versa, and it seems unlikely that all this information about the carnival past would be touched on and never revisited? With the carnival having traveled all over the midwest and west...Jane must have conned a lot of people when he was with his dad.
