So she got upped to a regular? Neato.
I think it's all new S3 footage. It's the full 1:30 trailer for the upcoming season.Any new scenes?
Can't wait for this to start back up. Can't wait for more Kai Proctor. I was so pissed when they dragged the Rabbit storyline out and left the more interesting villain on the sidelines.- Banshee S3 trailer (please spoiler tag discussion as appropriate)

That season had awesome fights. Hood breaking into the casino and fighting all those security guards is either my favorite or the only one I remember. Well there's this too, but it's not much of a fight:They should have killed his ass in the first season or put him on the back burner for a season or 2
Season 2 storyline was a major let down but it still had good fights and crazy characters.
Season 3 will pick up a few weeks after Season 2
The show will finally head to Camp Genoa
Expect a Banshee-style payback for what happened to Deputy Yawners
