The way Hood fucks up that guys hand is still one of the grossest things on this show.

I still can't think of a more graphically brutal fight to ever air on television. That poo poo was nuts and I still love that scene.

I love this show so loving much. "Wicks" is still the best episode and the way he fights the Albino haunts my dreams.

Also great. I love how they showed flashbacks to that fight during the fight with Sanchez and we hadn't even seen that fight yet!

I'm the seed father of the OG Banshee show thread, and whilst I approve of DivisionPosters efforts, they don't really do justice to the first season of Banshee.

Tbh, it was my first ever thread, and I gambled on not only my own emotions, but those of my contemporaries. The OP might be European, or just a humble dude, joined in the early bloom of SA's fame. But it still feels like he's bullying me in a weird passive aggrieved/aggressive way.

We all like Banshee, but word-spunking with rectanglur spoiler text just sends out the wrong message.

Peace.

This thread's OP is loving amazing, what drugs are you on?

Rebecca looks different. Maybe it was just the makeup and eyebrows but something about her face looks weird.

loving loved this episode, doubly so because my actual Marine buddy was raging on Facebook about how "no way a dude with a bow takes out so many Marines drat it!"

True, there isn't proof. But besides training with Job to be a thief, where else would he learn how to fight? There is clearly a form to his fighting, and he seems trained to me, and thus confident in his ability to win. But it's also true that he could have just been taught by Job to fight and fight dirty.

poo poo, now I want to see Hood and Job throw down, just to see who would be more brutal.

I think that Job's character is probably underestimated because he's a transvestite, and the show clearly puts forth that idea in a few scenes. But he seems to have some flashy martial arts skills, which leads me to believe that Job was formally trained in martial arts of some sort.

I'd also love to see that throwdown. At least I'd like to see Hood and Job training together--I wonder if they'd show Job just effortlessly beating Hood

When he assaulted the church solo in S2 he really showed how dangerous he could be.

I did sort of want to see a Hood and fatass's hitman fight though. Seemed a waste for him just to shotgun the guy

I think it was very fitting. Thug just laughed when Hood said he was going to kill him. Then he gets shot-gunned and gets to see Hood unload a second shot in his face. Dude wasn't worth the fight, he was trash in Hood's eyes.

The only thing I didn't like is Universal Soldier taking 4 shots of buckshot at point blank range and still fighting. Body armor or not that dude would have stayed down.

I dug the head cams overall though.

Considering he was sitting in the vault with no sign of wounds I'm assuming they were riot rounds. They wanted to rob the place, not murder everyone on the base right?

Someone itt speculated they went in with beanbag rounds as a first resort since it was a military base and all. A badass could take 3 beanbags with kevlar.

That was me. Small rounds are less lethal than a shotgun. Don't we still have an insider on the show in this thread, he should ask what the what was with it.

I want Brock to become sheriff but be tolerant of Hood's antics as he levels the city in order to take down Proctor, since originally in S1 he alluded to Proctor being the problem with Banshee. Like I want to see how far a good man can go over the edge for the greater good and still come back. Also Bunker needs to become Hood's apprentice as far as letting 'the darkness' take over.

Well from that last smirk Proctor gave I think it's clear that he's going to offer Hood a job.
