What the gently caress is going on, who the hell are all of these people and what happened to everyone from season 1?!?! :stare:

Season 1 is the BBC co-production that is basically never brought up again. Season 2 is when Cinemax took over and it became awesome.

Strike Back Season 1 is named Strike Back Origins in the US. Aside from the lead from that season getting executed there's little overlap.

that was fuckin brutal, rip gordon. I expected Carrie and Stowe to kill each other in that fight. With the position of mayor being vacant and hood no longer sheriff I expect that he'll become mayor somehow and bang his way through Banshee faster than ever.

It's related to stipulations in their contracts, whether they are a regular, recurring or a guest star. SAG determines the complicated stipulations about who stays on screen how long, after which person, presuming such and such also appears...etc.

Will season four Hood feature a bandage accessory? Will Siobhan's identical twin sister Meghan turn up? Will they ever bring up the Sugar/Kai connection referenced in the first season again?

My mum ended up watching this show, attracted by my description of Kai Proctor as "Amish Al Swearingen". Now she's all pissed there are no more episodes as she binge watched them. Random bits I remember include:

S1E3 aka the MMA fight - " Oh God, I hope Hood knows how to fight dirty!" I was in the middle of a big swig of tea. There is a very strange sound that happens when you expel tea through your nose while breathing out (laughing) so hard into the cup that the tea still in the cup tries to jump out, back up your nose at the same time. Stingy.

She thinks Deva is dull and mis-used but her friend owns bones.

"OH GOD BURTON'S GLASSES ARE OFF!"

Any scene with Job is automatically great because Job. :allears: Seriously, I have never seen her pay so much attention to anything in recent years. If Banshee kills off Job, she will be right pissed.

Carrie and Gordon beating the poo poo out of those kids this season, my mum was practically levitating from the smug radiating from her. Honourable re-mention of Deva's friend for the sensible there. Can we see more of Deva's mate, my mum would like more of Deva's mate but without killing her off, tia. (Siobhan's death not well received by either of us, frankly)

Oh, and more scenes of Hood eating. My mum wonders at his diet what with all the fighting and loving as that dude burns through calories like a motherfucker.



P.S. SV, where's the Strike Back report, buddy?

That's fine to start with, but the real fun starts once Cinemax takes over. Mind you, it's a completely different show, but it's all the better for it.

Season 4 will be fine if the writers don't go down the route of magical children living under trees.

Having magical children living under trees is not hard fantasy HBO/GRRM.
