- Promo for next week's episode (please spoiler tag any discussion)
I'd be ok with that
Need a gif of that haha
Great episode. The disjointed shots remained like last week, but were less jarring. Poor Jason, though Sugar did warn him.

Great episode.
I was a little disappointed with the scene in which the Real Hood's kid gets killled. We got a shot of Rebecca holding his head firm with her fist, face in front of her pussy; I thought for certain that we'd get a scene mirroring Proctor getting blowed by the chick. I thought Rebecca would shove the guy's face between her legs, not caring about his wants and taking control of the situation, essentially becoming more and more like her uncle. We even had Kelly talking talking off-scene about people evolving and becoming better; it would have been perfect.
Oh well.
edit: I approve of Hood and Kelly starting to become steadier.

Oh, the diamonds are fake? What a twist! Maybe that'll be the main plotline for the rest of the season, and if it's not, they really need to come up with something fast. This season is starting to feel meandering - they need to ramp things up already.
Also, Burton's clean up scene was creepy as fuck. Whoa.
Some of the shots worked for me (Rebecca in the car after watching her lay get got) but most of them didn't. It just makes the show feel weird and schizophrenic. Maybe that's their intention, but I'm not really a fan.

I think that was what they were trying to convey, the way Rebecca is becoming more like Kai, but obviously she is still in way over her head.Great episode.

I understood: "When you're with me, you're with me." Or something like that. I'm not even sure.

Well over the half way point now, Banshee needs to step it up. Barring fight-of-the-week, everything feels kinda pedestrian. Nothing new is really building, just more foreshadowing of another Rabbit showdown (if it does happen, hopefully they'll kill off Rabbit and Carrie so the show can move on - didn't they promise us a really brutal season?).
So the Jason storyline concluded as a really hamfisted way to put Proctor/Lucas at odds again? Felt very forced and out-of-character for Proctor, killing a random kid for fucking his niece?
And the timeslip and flashback shots need to be strictly rationed, the show's starting to look like an Aerosmith video.

Jesus Christ at that death scene. I think this is the coolest death the show has ever done and it had tons of cool deaths to this point.
Anyway, loved this episode. The collector was great and manacing, while also very similiar to Hood. Proctor killing the kid was...wtf? Why? And then the clean up. I hope this will lead to Hood vs Burton. This needs to happen.

Oh yeah, that highway fight scene that ended with the semi truck beheading was pretty sick!
Agreed.
Agreed.
Its not out of character. Even in the first season Hood got warned about her. Its always been obvious that he feels more for her than he lets on.
Burton is one of the creepier and sicker motherfuckers I have seen.

That GIF is nightmare fuel. Burton's a strange guy.
Episode last night was ok, but like many other people, I'm not feeling an overall cohesion to the season. It feels more like short stories about Hood being a badass rather than a season long arc. Hopefully it starts to fall into place soon.

Thanks. Forgot about Limitless but I watched one of Amazon's pilot episodes of new shows last week and he was on one of them,

Yup. They should have concentrated on the feud between Proctor and the Natives. That's what this season's arc should have been. Rabbit should have died last season. As it is now, it feels too disconnected.
Agreed.

My wife and I both thought he said " you're either with me, or you're not!"
How awkward was the stare between those two.
Yes.
I feel like i have no idea where they're going with this, to be honest, last season was laser focused, by comparison.

Fantastic episode. Burton is the most interesting character in the show, I feel like we have so much more to learn about him.

Hi guys, quick question.
Will I like this season if I enjoyed the first one? For some reason I lost track of Banshee.

The fight was excellent, and so it was the DEATH BY TRUCKING. Deputy Kelly was gorgeous during that scene in the open and the dynamics between Proctor and Rebecca are getting even more fucked up with each episode it passes. Oh, and Burton was amazing. A+ episode in all accounts.
I thought Hood had sold the kid for real, BTW. It surprised me that wasn't the case. Maybe he is trying to be a better person after all.
Absolutely. It's a bit slower on account of taking a few unneeded detours in the first half, but I think the overall quality of each episode is about the same.
Yep and yep. I was expecing Rebecca to smoother him with a faceful of Amish pussy, but alas, he got an even rawer deal. Gat-damn, Burton, you crazy fuck.I thought for certain that we'd get a scene mirroring Proctor getting blowed by the chick. I thought Rebecca would shove the guy's face between her legs, not caring about his wants and taking control of the situation, essentially becoming more and more like her uncle.

I think pedestrian may be a tad strong, but it is true that S2 is meandering way too much in comparison with S1, which was laser focused in comparison. I have to agree with AuthenticM in that the focus should have been the quarreling with the natives. They vented way too much pressure way too soon by having two episodes without any real movement on that front.

4: Clayton's tattooed back

3: First photo gone, you now see a picture of a much younger Deva (?)
4: That picture also burning

6: New photo visible, Gordon, Carrie and Deva
Rebecca:
1: Two pies, one with a butcher's cleaver
2: The second pie now has an Indian dagger

The LORD said, "What have you done? Listen! Your brother's blood cries out to me from the ground.
4: The other pie, now with Proctor's pincers has a piece cut out and another bible verse, 1 Thessalonians 4 16
For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first.
5: A cleaver scooping up a piece of pie with a new verse, Romans 12 19
Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God's wrath, for it is written: "It is mine to avenge; I will repay," says the Lord.
6: A pie with both the knife and cleaver on it with bible verse Jeremiah 17 9: The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it?

5: What looks like a deer being drawn on the egg
6: More elaborate drawing on the egg
For some characters the pictures are a preview of what will happen that episode while with others it gives some indication of what they are doing even when they are not in the episode. The poker game looks like it's representing the Alex/Proctor power struggle with Proctor significantly ahead so a draw is really a win for him. Not sure what to make of Brock, Emmett or Rabbit's pictures.

Yeah, Kai could have gotten his message across without resorting to that. It will be lame if that's how they are starting a conflict with him and Hood. Plus, i couldn't help but think that with Jason gone, the writers are again securing the safety of the secret.
Hey, Gordon. Instead of spying over the sheriff why not go and ask about those DNA results that will tell you all you need to know, because you know, you are now the Mayor and were the attorney of the city so learning about the plainly-available results should be you first concern.
Worse police work than Dexter's Miami PD. 'We found a corpse -> it was stolen -> still had DNA from the clothes -> results show the corpse is of Lucas Hood -> We have the same DNA on the system because this Hood guy was a Sheriff -> Then who's the HECK is this dude masquerading as him?!'. Mystifying-ly, only one person in this show did this 'thorough' inspection and the secret identity shtick goes on.
Good fight scenes, though.

Of all the ways to go... having sex with Rebecca isn't... the worst, I guess.
That was still fucked up. Man, I knew from the second that they made and held eye contact while Kai was getting blowed, that was the beginning of probably what will be one of the most fucked up things in Banshee.
Felt bad for Gordon and co when he fell down and his kids were comforting him.
Jason died as he lived: Making poor decisions.
Kelly + Hood = Best
And for the first time, a glimpse into the mind of Burton.
I was not let down.
I love the Banshee credits.
