Hood is such a bad-ass :D Trashed the whole bike gang by himself. And I love the violence in this show, the guy's teeth were showing through the wound on his cheek.

Also...dat sex foreshadowing with female cop :D Not very subtle :D

Awesome episode, and probably the most comic book-ish of all so far. I liked how deputy Brock just basically said "fuck it" and rolled with it, Sugar kicking ass, Hood going ninja and the little exploration of deputy Kelly's character. I'm sure there's an interesting story behind that scar. She's quite easy on the eyes, too.

As for Rebecca...

This and The Americans are my new favourite shows by far.

This show is my definition of stupid fun. Hot women. Hot naked women. Violence. Little sense. One liners.

So glad it got picked up for a second season.

And next week's promo seems great.

The most amazing thing is that somehow the writers manage to pull that off without creating a cheesy mess like True Blood (which as much as I enjoy, is becoming way too hokey for its own good).

It actually takes some talent to make such a great, dumb show without overdoing it.

Fuck yeah. That shit was so badass.

Great episode. First off, I think I'm fucking in love with Rebecca. I want that Amish girl so damn bad. Second of all, there ain't no justice like Hood justice. I have a feeling we'll be seeing Glasses down the line again, but we'll be calling him Scarface. Those bikers were so fucking despicable, I was antsy waiting for Hood to lay down the law. So now I wonder where Hood goes from here. He's destroyed the evidence and now is back to square 1 with Proctor. Plus the feds know something's up.

We need more Job. "FUCK YOU! FUCK EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU!" So fucking hilarious.

Albino next week. That ought to be awesome.

Also, Kelly is so gorgeous. A shame about her hosue :( I loved the rings as a birthday present though.

Ok, I know that when Rebecca and Kai met up, there were some vague incest vibes, BUT COME ON:

Rebecca(Lili Simmons) is so hot. How bad this serie gets i will keep watching it for her. I have this feeling this is a softporn serie with action.

Well that's the oddest supporting actor promotion in a long time. The guy has so far been just kind of...there.

I wouldn't mind if they gave Job more screentime but on the other hand...not sure actually. The character by all accounts shouldn't work really, but somehow they pull it off, and I guess giving him more screentime would make him less memorable, in a way.

Yup, it's a strange bit of news. I guess he's going to become more prominent as the season moves on.

I agree completely - no need to run it into the ground and he's been great in shorter sequences so far.

He's the first in line to become the new Kinaho chief, which I assume is a position of great power in the town of Banshee, so I assume that at some point this season his father will die/be killed so he can take over. If that's the case then it makes sense that he would get upped to a regular.

Sort of related. I found out an actress I like
(uh, looks-wise anyway)
, Odette Annable, was cast in Banshee for the later part of the season and at least some of season 2.

She's playing a
Native American assassin.
Should be interesting.

Now that you mention it, I do recall hearing that she was joining the cast, but I totally forgot about it until now. Awesome.
Recurring Native American assassin wtfbbq! :O

Most excellent. The action continues to be well above anything on TV, Proctor is still an enjoyable SOB, the albino dude was creepy as hell (the red eyes were a nice touch; when I saw the first pictures of him I thought he was going to play Rabbit) and that Moody widow has an agreeable pair of buttocks.

The post-credits scene was also a nice (if sad) touch. I knew that was going to happen sooner or later, but I didn't expect Sugar to be so upfront about it. He also has a nice thing going on with Hood and CLEARLY he's not going to risk it for some junkie hobo.

Choice quote: That was my bad. But in my defense, that hooker gave me so bad coke.

Many laffs were had.

I love this show. One of the few pieces of cinema where the guys behind the show understand comic books and capture it on film. Someone has to get these guys to handle a comic book movie or 2.

Albino is one of the scariest mothers I've ever seen in cinema.

"You're gonna ask for it."
