'Banshee' Returns With Guns Blazing: What's Next For The Smart Action Drama

Given the premise of "Banshee," it seems like one of those shows that just can't run forever. Do you have a time frame in mind for how far you want to take it?
We definitely have a sensitivity to the fact that the central premise of this show has a time limit on it. We always felt that we could work within that universe for about five seasons of 10 episodes, and then either we would find a place for the show to evolve, and if not, we always knew what the ending of the show was. So we would either make it a five-season show or be open to any organic evolution that comes. We were not going to be writing eight seasons of a fake sheriff.

Right. I think that one of the things that's so enjoyable about the show is it feels very concentrated. It doesn't feel like you're stowing stuff away for later.
We treat each season like our last season. We kind of know the show is doing well and we will get renewed, but we never say, "Let's hold that for Season 5." Anything we can think of, we put out there while we still got a crew and a cast and a budget.

season 3 episode 3, the fist & gun scenes were entertaining :)  

 

Burton was great, firstly he was disadvantaged by the axes & later he fought to survive ; my thought would be he & procter as the main villain in the series & rebecca hasn't matured to be independent, he would not be kill off unless there is a reliable replacement

 

Nolan was too self conceit thinking she could take on 3 of them, without weapons her fist was nothing to Burton not to mention Procter ; if she allied with her tribe & fought, that would be even more interesting  :laugh: but her tribe very disorientated  (N)

 

was rather amazed Brock managed to survive the gun fights :innocent:

episode 5, initially Chayton wanted to kill Proctor & Raven, then later he said all cannot be spared  but

suddenly he was very satisfied that once Siobhan killed , he retreated

(N)  ; whether killing one or all he still end up a wanted criminal :rolleyes:

 

it was just ridiculous to kill 2 people must siege the Police Station & announced to the whole world they were the killers & the whole lot became wanted criminals :hmmm:  

 

 

really hope the Marine base robbery & what follows up on this robbery is epic , not disappointment  :p

I think he

 

wanted Hood to suffer for the time being and go through a loss like what he did with his brother. Also, just after he had done it, you could hear the sirens so he wouldn't want to stay around for much longer

 

it is an episode just to play on people emotions which is not necessary to siege the Police Station & to act up a gun scene

 

Hood didn't kill his brother, why bother since blood for blood ?

 

during that episode 3 confrontation Hood wasn't even present ; also Chayton demanded handover of Proctor & Raven that for Nola & his brother only , not all those police that involved killing his tribe during gun fire

Hood was/is protecting his brother's killer, not to mention has killed/is responsible for all the other deaths of the RedBone gang so I would certainly expect Chayton to hold him responsible too. Also, even if Hood did hand over Proctor and Raven, I reckon Chayton would have killed Hood etc. anyway after all he hates white people and especially cops + already has issues with Hood from the previous time they met in season 2 iirc.

 

He made those demands before the deaths/big shootout right before Hood told him to xxxx off :p

 

But yes it was obviously shot that way in order to have the shoot out scene etc. Could they have made it a bit more realistic/to the point? Yes but it would it have been as good as what we saw? Probably not.

 

Either way it was a fantastic episode, currently got 9.7 on IMDB, the highest rated episode of season 3 so far.

it was precisely nearly everyone in the police station also got bad blood with Chayton & his tribe, he shouldn't just make demand on Proctor & Raven but the whole police station should pay & that would justify the siege of the police station & the subsequent shoot out scene  :rolleyes:

episode 8, the result of rebecca double-cross his uncle client & the part of burton being ... was expected, the ending part showing Colonel Stowe 1st acts of tackling his lost was the saving for this episode  :/

    • Anyone Here With Turbo Pascal Experience?

      By Almohandis · Posted

      Turbo Pascal was my first real programming experience more than 30 years ago at university. I mostly taught myself from the included examples and help documentation, because the university only taught the basic syntax and philosophy of Pascal, without going deeply into Turbo Pascal’s advanced features. I still remember when I discovered that I could embed assembly language directly into Pascal code, call BIOS functions, manipulate screen memory, use mouse interrupts, and control peripherals from my programs. That opened huge doors for me. Programming back then felt really fun, direct, and close to the machine. What I loved about Pascal was its readability and the almost instant compile time. Turbo Pascal was an amazing environment, but unfortunately Turbo Pascal for Windows 3 did not feel like it fully carried that legacy forward. Later, Delphi got things back on the right track after the messy transition to TP for Windows. Sadly, Delphi suffered from years of uncertainty as it moved from Borland to CodeGear and then to Embarcadero. That instability made many developers lose confidence in it, even though Delphi itself remained a powerful and productive tool. I still work with Delphi from time to time, but I definitely miss the old days of Turbo Pascal.

      I hope this encodes in to AV1 or AV2 as currently tiktok uses h265 and h264.
    • Qualcomm reportedly in talks to build custom video chips for TikTok parent ByteDance

      By Karthik Mudaliar · Posted

      Qualcomm reportedly in talks to build custom video chips for TikTok parent ByteDance by Karthik Mudaliar Qualcomm is reportedly in advanced discussions to provide custom chip-design services to Chinese tech giant ByteDance, the same company behind TikTok. According to a report from Reuters, Qualcomm could be involved in designing custom silicon tailored for ByteDance's massive data-center workloads. If it goes through, the deal would make ByteDance one of Qualcomm's early anchor customers for its fastly growing custom chip-design division, For years, Qualcomm was the king of making smartphone processors and modems. The company has also been moving into the PC ecosystem and other formats such as on-device AI for Android XR headsets. However, this particular deal is about Qualcomm's custom Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs). For a platform like TikTok, ByteDance needs hardware that can help it ingest, process, and serve billions of short-form videos daily. Generalised hardware is no longer the most cost-effective and efficient route, which is why ByteDance is trying to develop custom Video Processing Units (VPUs). VPUs designed specifically for ByteDance’s algorithmic needs could drastically reduce data-center power consumption and improve encoding speeds at an unprecedented scale. The underlying tech behind these processors is actually from Qualcomm's recent acquisition of AlphaWave Semi, a high-speed connectivity specialist company. By combining AlphaWave’s high-bandwidth IP with Qualcomm’s architectural expertise, the company could begin mass production by the end of 2026, if the talks go through. All this also comes at a time when U.S.-China tech relations have dwindled. Escalating trade frictions between Washington and Beijing have severely impacted the export of high-end AI chips from U.S. firms like Nvidia, AMD, and Lam Research. Yet, the Qualcomm-ByteDance discussions show that U.S. tech companies are still actively seeking growth avenues and are open to doing business with China, where regulators still permit. Reuters notes that the outcome of this deal could be uncertain, and ByteDance might also seek partners other than Qualcomm. via Reuters | Image via DepositPhotos.com
