'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  :/

    • AMD confirms 26.6.2 FSR driver breaks on many Windows PCs

      By WaltC · Posted

      I've owned nothing but ATi/AMD GPUs since 2002, after my last nVidia GPU in 2001 (3dfx before that), IIRC, and in all of that time I recall getting this error maybe once, certainly no more than twice. Despite all the scuttlebutt as to how poor AMD drivers are supposed to be that has certainly not been my experience at all... Usually it has been a configuration problem of some kind. Then again, since we're dealing with OS versions that are EOL, it could easily be an OS version discrepancy. It's still weird to think that Win11 has been officially out for more than five years!
    • AI is indeed eliminating jobs, and Oracle just proved it

      By WaltC · Posted

      AI will never be the jobs panacea some companies fantasize about today. Oracle is likely using it as an excuse, which we will see a lot of companies doing, I'm certain. They love their "plausible" excuses for their downturns. A couple of weeks ago my wife asked me to call Krogers about some discrepancy in a online grocery order, and it will be the last time either of us does that. I'll just do emails with humans from now on... The AI experience was horrible--the obviously recorded voice started asking a bunch of questions about our orders six months prior(!) and saying, "Is this in reference to your order on January 6, for $****?" You say "No!" and immediately the next question is "Is this in reference to your order on January 29th, for $****?" again, I answered "No!"--and it was incredible--on and on it went like that for fully 20 minutes until we finally got to the present, and only then was I put through to a human with authentic intelligence... I wondered why on Earth the idiot AI didn't start with the most recent orders and work back from there, as it was something anyone with a functioning brain would have done. And why didn't the AI have enough sense to ask me what the problem was in the first place? It didn't take too much deduction to understand that the goal of this "AI" was to cause the person on the phone to hang up in disgust, with no resolution of the problem. That begs another question: why pay for a tool-free problem line if the goal is to avoid solving your customer's problems?... Fortunately, Krogers does have real humans capable of reading an email and understanding it, and if she sees another situation in the future that's route she or I will take. The online grocery delivery service from Krogers has been great, over all, but their AI truly sucks.

      AI is the justification that company administrators use to lay people off; it is not the end all, be all touted in the media (many of whom can't tell a microchip from a potato chip). Greed is main driving factor behind its adoption; the other is remaining relevant in the face of competition from other entities.

    • Firefox 152.0.2 is out with fixes for performance, translation, and cloud storage services

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Firefox 152.0.2 is out with fixes for performance, translation, and cloud storage services by Taras Buria A new bug-fixing update is now rolling out to Firefox users in the Release Channel. Less than a week ago, Mozilla fixed crashes on Intel Raptor Lake processors with version 152.0.1. Now, Mozilla has prepared yet another set of fixes that address problems with localization, playback issues of certain MP4 files, and performance issues on website that perform various encryption operations at once. Here is the full changelog: Firefox 152.0.2 is now available for download from Mozilla's FTP. Existing installations will get the update over the next several hours. The latest version will also be available soon on the official website, the Microsoft Store, and Neowin's Software page. You can find Firefox 152.0.2 release notes in the official documentation. In case you missed it, Mozilla released Firefox 152 earlier this month. The latest feature update brought reworked settings with a more streamlined user interface, JPEG XL support, new features for Private mode, a new way to mute a tab (just type "mute" in the address bar), and many more. You can find the complete changelog here. In other Firefox news, Mozilla recently published its roadmap, where the company detailed the upcoming Nova redesign and other features it plans to implement. Mozilla wants to make the new user interface easier to navigate and more modern, with a heavy focus on its privacy tools, such as its built-in VPN. If you are curious, you can already enable the new UI as described here.
