VagueRant posted:Latest podcast ep features Chris Coy (Calvin Bunker): To point 2, it was Rebecca because I was going back through all the seasons again when my DVR recorded them all, presumably they aired because the final season was close at hand. And yeah also it flashbacked to this scene, I think, in the season premiere this year. To point 3, yeah, his face is kind of hard to forget. I like(d) him better in this show than in GK for some reason.

So, i'm at the end of the second season and i'm puzzled as to why anyone has anything to do with Carrie at all. She is quite possibly the shittiest human being i have ever seen in a TV series. Hands Hood over to Rabbit and then apologises to him by cheating on her husband with him and ruining her family. Completely ignores her son over her daughter unless he is having a plot-advancement asthma attack. Fucks up killing Rabbit. Then when her family starts getting back together she fucks off with Hood to try and kill Rabbit again against the rightful protestations of her husband. She's just a piece of poo poo all round and every episode where she is the main focus is boring and terrible because it is impossible to empathize with her even slightly. She should have been killed off in season 1.

Especially when instead of handing Hood over and going through all this...she could have just killed Rabbit the FIRST time she sneaked through all of his guards and got into his room to propose any kind of deal.

She never wanted her father dead. She loved her father. She misses him now. ![]() Ana was stuck between unfinished emotions needing resolution with Hood and finding him a mortal danger to all, something she's never been personally adverse to, as well as loving her father yet reconciling that she cannot continue with her life while he still exists. She did what she felt in her heart to be right, knowing she would be damned no matter what. This lead to conflicting actions which of course it did, it was an impossible situation for her in many ways. She's culpable for her own choices, everyone is, but I think she also earned a lot of understanding. As for child favoritism, one is a plot device and the other is a character and they are treated accordingly. Nothing wrong there.

"This season is poo poo" and then tonight's episode comes along and it's a return to form and awesome.

That opening ![]() I can't wait for Calvin to get smacked down now that he thinks he's hot poo poo. The whole scene at Carrie's house was badass. Disappointed that lady deputy got away. I thought for sure Carrie was going to end her gruesomely with that saw blade. I hope Agent Dawson manages to get away from the serial killer on her own because she has been pretty competent so far.

She is quite possibly the shittiest human being i have ever seen in a TV series. The thing about Carrie is, it's only by the third season that she has any kind of handle on what the gently caress is going on. Think of things from her perspective: she's settled down, it's been literally a decade, things are normal, then all of a sudden her ex busts down her door and is like "HEY I GOT OUT OF PRISON LET'S GET BACK TOGETHER." Also, he's the goddamn sheriff and nobody else realizes he's an ex-con. Also also, her dad popped up out of the blue and has serious beef with both of them. All of this happens over a not particularly long span of time. Would you be making perfectly rational and intelligent decisions there? (Also, I don't think the son is really on her as a character, the show kinda forgot he existed overall.)

The only thing I can fault the show for is that the style and tone has shifted a lot from earlier seasons, but then Hood is in a completely different situation now. It felt like they make up plotlines as they go along, which is fine when the show is this good, but it also means the overall arcs of characters (or even existences of characters in the aforementioned son case) gets wobbly. Proctor being taken down was slowly being built up over the course of one arc, which has now been seemingly completely dropped.

Carrie building her house as a fortress with fences that can be jumped without hitting motion detectors and not having bulletproof glass is an odd choice considering her paranoia.

So what happens with lady deputy now? I'm assuming Cary didn't give her name in her report? God, I want Tom Pelphrey to destroy Calvin so much. Bunker's been a powder keg since he was introduced, with two episodes that plot has got to end in some terrible violence. GobiasIndustries fucked around with this message at 20:03 on May 7, 2016 |

Maybe we'll see a Calvin-Carrie-Cartel alliance vs. Proctor???? My brain will explode if this happens. Also post 2 year torture Job is still more ripped than I'll ever be.

Everyone is going to kill each other, and the feds are going to carpet bomb the town to get rid of everyone. Last scene will be Hood crawling out of the wreckage, the only one to survive.

I'm sure that there are plenty of plot holes I willfully overlooked all throughout the series, but for some reason, the one that bothers me is Hood's arrest. How did they not finger print him and discover that he's actually Joe Schmoe Diamond Thief? ![]() In other news I sincerely hope that the series finale features Job and Sugar finally hooking up. The sexual tension has been utterly unbearable.

The fight scene at the house was pretty much what we've been waiting six episodes for. It worked as an exciting story beat and it was good for the characters, though sadly, the actual action was technically pretty sloppy. A lot of jarring jump cuts skipping movement, the part where Cruz kicks Carrie off the counter looked like they both completely messed up the choreography and didn't touch each other to me (?) and Job very clearly didn't hit that guy in the face with the butt of the rifle. But again balances, like the Deva sequence was perfectly plotted (if predictable). On the subject of Deva, she looks totally different to me. Like she actually aged the two extra years of the timeskip. Dunno if it's the lack of neon hair, or make up or what... Oh and I was glad Job finally tried on Carrie's clothes. Feel like we've been waiting for that to happen for nearly as long as the Carrie/Cruz showdown! I like that Hood was so deeply affected by Siobahn that he isn't a gently caress machine anymore. (Anyone else spot that they miscredited her as being played by Rieste Kelly Dunn in the end credits?)

Great episode! I only have one little nitpick. If you're investigating someone you think is linked to a serial killing Satanist, please get in your car and leave when you're done talking. Make the call on the way. Don't sit in their loving driveway and wait for them to come get you! I just knew something was going to happen, but I jumped anyway.

Just standing watching Sex Detective's car for a few minutes before deciding "Hey ho, guess I'd better kidnap her for OUR LORD AND MASTER LUCIFER then"? What would she have done if Sex Detective had been holding in a poo and peeled rubber for the nearest gas station as soon as she got in the car?

Podcast ep 6 feat. Ivana Milicevic (Carrie/Ana!): http://www.spreaker.com/user/highandmighty/episode-46-banshee-special-s4e6-w-ivana- To be honest, my notes are pretty much just spergin' about Ivana. I was pretty curious about her, not because of her looks (She's not my type!) but because she's the cast member you see the most enthusiasm for. I remember showrunner Jonathan Tropper singling her out as being especially good to work with. I know whenever the cast and crew post goofy selfies and the like, she's usually involved. especially with the other women on the show. And one of the Seans on the podcast made her sound nice when he related that story of meeting her and Anthony Star (Hood) at a clothes shop back when the first season was just airing. Anyway, turns out she is fairly charming and I see why people are pulled in by that charisma.
