So what is Lucas Hood's real name anyway?
Ace O'Riordan
Dennis Mitchell
Guggenheim McFrankenbutt
Hood Lucas
Norman Krasner
This poll is stupid and undermines the thematic point being made by keeping Lucas Hood's real name a secret.

Ep 2 podcast with guests Burton (Matt Rauch) and one of the writers (Adam Targum).
http://www.spreaker.com/user/highandmighty/episode-38-banshee-special-s4e2-w-adam-t

Some fun notes for those who can't be bothered listening:
  • The writer is high pitched and goony as gently caress but brings enough enthusiasm and loudness that him and Burton's actor can actually get a word in over Jon Gabrus.
  • One of the comedians accidentally gives away that SPOILER FOR PRESUMABLY THE NEXT EPISODE: we're apparently going to get to them trading for Job REAL QUICK, no dragging it out.
  • Anthony Starr (Hood) really hated the fake beard.
  • A lot of talk about the Burton v Nola fight. Apparently Odette Annable accidentally punched Matt Rauch at one point in it. He also had a ligament injury days before and you can actually see his leg brace when he kicks her into the car. Oh and the original version of the scene had him slamming her head through the hood ornament, but showrunner Jonathan Tropper decided to make it even more extreme.
  • Cinemax actively encourage the crazy poo poo the writers doubt they could get away with.
  • Adam Targum claims he got death threats on twitter after they killed off Siobhan. (Citing "It was your neck that should've been broken" and claiming that while he went home to check all his guns had ammo, he also thought that passion meant they'd done a good job.)
  • The more serious, less villain-of-the-week tone was apparently what they always wanted for the show, and they felt they couldn't really go any crazier after season 3 because they don't have the budget to make it "a Zac Snyder movie".
  • Ulrich Thomsen (Kai Proctor) is apparently the weirdest man in the world. I hope they get him on the podcast!
  • The scary dog in this episode was apparently a great actor, and was super nice on set when not commanded to be scary. (The actual face-biting was done with animatronics I believe.)

  • Big one is that the writer also confirmed that we will NEVER find out Hood's real name (!!!!) or Burton's exact backstory and his genital situation.

The killer was shown carrying Rebecca, which Deva wouldn't be able to do, but I don't think that would bother me. Sometimes you need to mislead the audience too.

I'm actually kind of bummed that Nola's dead, I liked her.

This show just ramps up so ridiculously and never seems to stop. First that fight, then the thing with the fat man and the FBI guy on the 18-wheeler, then Siobhan finding out about Hood, then hood going 'gently caress it' and trying to kill Proctor. I left off with Chayton leading the Red Bones in an attack on the Cadi, straight out of The Raid. :suspense:

Also it looks like the serial killer isn't Deva based on the last scene.

I really hope Hood buzzcuts his hair again, I don't like him having the fashionably messy male-lead do.

On a follicle related note, I'm surprised Hoon Lee has so much hair on front, figured he'd be way more balding.

Also loved the scene with Bunker petrified at having to put cuffs on Hood. Antony Starr has the best "don't gently caress with me" stare.

I feel like Leo has to show up again, he knows where The Forge is and I don't think they'd let that dude ride off into the sunset with that much cash.

And yeah Bunker is great, he's been a small but super compelling part of the show so far. That's also something I never thought I'd say about a (former) white supremacist, but here we are.

edit: I just noticed that in S4, bunker's personal vehicle is a lovely old light blue pickup with what look like a few white panels :3:

In other news, I knew Chayton was a dead man walking when he killed Siobhan right in front of Hood, but holy gently caress at that visual of Hood taking half his head off with a shotgun at point-blank. :drat:

Serial killer is Solomon Bowman, Rebecca's brother.

1. Comes from a hosed up bloodline already where his sister is already excommunicated for being a whore (and other things) in the eyes of their church.
2. Saw an attractive young female he had a fancy for get murdered right in front of his eyes, then gets beaten and kidnapped at such a young age.
3. Develops a seething compulsion based on #2 and being Amish so not having easy access to mental health, bing bam boom, serial killer.

Ep 3 podcast with guest Hoon Lee (Job!):
http://www.spreaker.com/user/highandmighty/episode-40-banshee-special-s4e3-w-hoon-l

Not much talk about the actual episode, basically just a lot of interviewing Hoon Lee. He's very actor-ish, talking about process and character. They don't quite go enough into detail about some of his mannerisms and fabulous outfits for my liking, but some interesting tidbits.
  • Hoon Lee says Job's "voice" was clear in the script. I have no idea how this could work.
  • When he explodes his own salon behind him in the pilot, he was told the explosion would be about as loud as a traschcan being dropped. They lied!
  • He appreciates that Job being asian has pretty much never had attention drawn to it.
  • Notably he talked a lot about the character's closeness to Hood. Noting that Hood never comments on his style or affectation, that Job very rarely swears AT Hood, calls him baby (and not motherfucka), that they've known each other longer than any other characters, and the first time Job speaks this season is when he sees Hood again.
  • They consciously constructed a story/character beat to Job's fights with the one guy on the military base in season 3. Basically, the first time they fight, the guy keeps hitting Job with kicks and to keep him at bay and beat him down. But in the finale, how Job "solves the problem" is to use his belt to defeat the reach advantage, then takes out the guy's knee.
  • At the end of the episode, Jon Gabrus fanboyishly asks Hoon to call them motherfuckers. His response in Job's voice: "Bitch, I ain't a dog and I don't do motherfuckin' tricks."

Probably :spergin: as gently caress but that looks like a Mauser bayonet. Not that they're exactly rare or anything but could be a nod towards the Brotherhood.
