Sheesh. Some of the worst writing in the series on this new episode. Job being the "best hacker in the world" was quite laughable. Also, the flashbacks are appearing more and more now. Starting to mess with the shows pacing. Just hope the mercenary storyline can give the season a strong finish.

Damn..the jarheads cleaned up the house 
A bit of a breather episode before next week, but still so damn fun. Loved how Kai got himself out of the troubles without any help needed. And how Hood just fucking left him there and just got the woman
And yeah..it's Banshee, so of course the ex-Nazi is awesome at hand to hand combat
Can't wait for next week. The only bad thing is that I will then have to wait a whole damn year for more Banshee. Thankfully I will have Strike Back and Quarry to give me mine Cinemax fix.
It's amazing how much the show recovered after S2.

Wasn't Strike Back cancelled?

Ha! If they cancelled the show, then they're wasting an awful amount of "commercial" time pimping it out before and after Banshee

Good episode. 4th season should be the last though. Im not seeing what else they can do with these characters.

maybe colonel kidnaps Carrie and in the next season Hood goes after her to explain filming location change?

It was renewed for a fourth (fifth, overall) season, which will be its last, to air this summer.

I think she was building a shrine to his dead body.
Speaking of which, ain't no way the entire gang is surviving this season with that guy on their trail. They ain't gonna kill another leading lady, so I fear this might mark the end of our favourite duo
Latest episode is making me double down on this. I don't believe the writers are going to let the gang pull off another grand finale rescue/assault without casualties

So Bunker's brother is probably gonna be a major villain?

Yeah i forgot what interview it was in but they said they've had a 5 year plan from the beginning.
Suitable theory.

Think of all the times Carrie, Gordon and Deva have all been out of the house at the same time.
Max is dead. They're building a mausoleum one Forza disc at a time.

One stolen Forza disc at a time. They're not buying that game with Banshee's $90 game prices.

Are Bunker's scenes a set up for next season?

Good episode, but it was clearly all set up for the next episode, which I'm guessing is the finale? Man, how fast time has flown this season...
Anyway, loved that Kai didn't need any help to get out of that predicament. It's about time we saw what makes him an utter badass that is feared and this episode went some way in showing that.
Bunker scene was great and maybe I'm going crazy, but does anyone else think the cheek tattoo looked more faded this week compared to when he first saw him? Maybe it'll be entirely gone by next season?
His brother is also probably going to be one of the big bads next season, along with Stowe as there's really no way they can resolve that in just one episode.
And goddamn at Stowe, he cleared house like a pro. I really hope he sticks around and isn't done away with next episode.
Deva - the only bad part of the episode. To go from Proctor to Deva was just...ugh.

I noticed that too. Along with Brock saying "it's a process" I assume Bunker's taking the obvious step of laser tattoo removal? It takes layers of your skin off over time, causing the tatt to slowly fade away.

This was a great setup to the finale.
I hope they don't do what I think they're going to do.
I do have to agree with some of the current sentiment in the thread given where do you really go with things that could equal 2 more seasons of possible content. 1 more with what you have left unless they introduce another beast like Chayton that needs a season of real buildup before becoming THE threat but even then you'd need something to fill that void and we had the Rabbit runback for that.
The only thing I need the finale of S3 to deliver on is a gunfight that makes the one we got in S1 look like nothing at all.
Can't wait until next Friday!

Killing Job would make me sad because he's the best part of the show after all.

Well....Nazis in S4 (with possible Terminator arc continuation) and then epic final war with Kai in S5? That would be quess
Marty-esque

"The fanboys call him Job."
Bingo..
next season should be hood vs terminator army guy ..with a nazi power house as a mini boss...
and final season is hood vs proctor....(with burton vs hood in the most violent, gory, bloody fight ever produced on television...)
RatskyWatsky
Hunky Nostradamus
Seriously! (I believe that) The rest of his nazi tattoos can't be seen when he's wearing his police uniform - some concealer or a big bandaid would be enough to mask the one on his cheek.
Then again, this is Banshee...
S1 - Sets up Rabbit as the big bad
S2 - Sets up Chayton to be the big bad for the next season, Rabbit dies
S3 - Sets up Stowe to be the big bad for the next season, Chayton dies
S4 - Sets up Nazis to be the big bad for the next season, Stowe dies
S5 - Nazi, Native American, Amish, Police faction war
:O

I also want to give this season a shoutout for including pretty much every 80s action movie male villain archetype.
I have a hard time believing that there's any sort of solid 5 year plan for the show, considering how unfocused and aimless large parts of season 2 were. Maybe they realized that and started on a plan to fix that afterwards, but no way did they have a plan laid out before the show started.
The blind dude torturing Kay HAS to be a big badguy for S4, plus Kay has returned to his evil ways, himself.
Not necessarily. I thought that fat dude in the truck would become some sort of bad guy but they offed him in the same episode. Maybe Kai kills Frazier in an episode or two.

Killing a blind guy won't take a whole season, Burton will take care of him on his way to McDonald's.

Have we even seen Burton eat? Maybe he'll eat Fraizer like he was McDonald's.
