Oh man that trailer looks awesome. I can't wait to see Hood vs Chayton! Kinda sucks that Rabbit won't be around though. This show does everything it does so well; it's 100% appointment viewing for me no matter what other shows might be on. It's just so FUN! I think I'll do a S1 and S2 rewatch to get prepped for the badassery. I've always intended to check out Strike Back because it looks like something right up my alley. Should I start at the beginning and watch everything or is it safe/recommended to skip some stuff?

Start at the beginning of the cinemax series and watch it all. You can skip the original 6 episode British series, but feel free to watch it at any point anyway because it is a decent series but has little to do with the cinemax seasons.

I still think the Hood vs MMA Rapist fight is the apex of fight scenes on television but I hope the Hood vs Chaytum fight surpasses it.

Yeah that fight was the poo poo--Hood was clearly not as skilled as the Sanchez (and was outweighed by Sanchez by at least 50lbs I'm guessing) but also VERY clearly knew how to survive and win despite the odds...that and Hood is tough as nails and can take a lot more punishment than any real, non-TV-character person. I am looking forward to Hood & Chayton but I am sort of dubious at Hood's chances of even being able to walk away from the fight instead of on a gurney or in a bodybag. Naturally Hood is the protagonist so he will probably win unless the fight happens on the last episode, but the actor who plays Chayton is gigantic, I think a little bigger than Dwayne Johnson even. He mopped the floor with Hood in Season 2, and only got taken down by a propane tank to the back of the head and STILL needed to be choked out, all of this took three people on top of that.

I dunno about him not being skilled. We saw in that fight the first flashback to the fight with the Albino. And we later found out he has special forces training. Sanchez just wasn't expecting much of a fight.

Sanchez just wasn't expecting much of a fight. Well, Hood was getting his rear end kicked until he got kicked off the stage and grabbed the bottle. Of course Hood is skilled because he has to be, but as far as raw martial arts skill, I think Sanchez had that over Hood. Hood's advantage was not being constrained by the typical rules of MMA...Hood obviously was taught to fight to survive at all costs, to do whatever he has to do in order to prevail. Sanchez, though, being a professional MMA fighter, was still bound by rules, though it seemed like his character was written to give off the impression that he'd been known to thrown a headbutt or hit below the belt in his day. I'd like to find out more about Hood and the alleged SF training, because in one episode it sounded to me like he was hinting that he was actually some sort of mercenary or contractor. I wish they'd delve further back into his background, but naturally it wasn't really pertinent to the story thus far, I guess.

I'm okay with learning more of his past but I never want to know his real name. I want the very last scene of the series to be him saying "My real name is..." and cut to black.

Buddy, find some time, grab a beer and watch Strike Back. You can start from the beginning but it doesn't really make that much of a difference.

No purpose in knowing his real name. He is known only as Lucas Hood, a Dead Guy. Then again, just because they do a flashback to his military/contractor days doesn't mean the name they use for him then is even real...especially in the SF community, dudes like SEALs and Delta Force often get prices on their heads IRL. But I do remember one thing, a vignette maybe? where the police had him in custody and they couldn't find out who he was.

Maybe you're thinking of the Banshee Origins, which are prequels they put online. He's interrogated and the cop says they can't find info on him since he's a "ghost," and guesses he must have special forces training. http://www.welcometobanshee.com

Maybe he DOES have SF training, but now I see that as conjecture by a character it may or may not be true. He certainly DOES know how to survive, but to overanalyze the poo poo out of this, one of the origins episodes shows him being trained by Job to hot wire a car. Many jobs that are designated as special operations, specifically anti-terrorism jobs, teach that and many other things. I'm thinking contractor, because in the last episode in S1, Carrie asks him something similar to "You were in the military?" and he goes, "Something like that" or something like that.

His past is a mystery but I don't think they ever hid the fact he did even worse things while in the military.

Hood has definitely had some sort of extensive combat training in the past. He seems very skilled, and I feel like that's been strongly hinted at, like other characters have commented on it for example.

Right, it was the gun dealer, IIRC, that made Carrie ask Hood if he was in the military, and then he said, "Something like that." I never deleted any episodes of Banshee so I have two full seasons. I'll have to go back and watch that season finale.

There was a shot of a mechanical or robot looking hand. Maybe it was Hoods?

It looks like Hood is tied to the chair in the metal hand scene. It looks like he's wearing the same shirt as when he's being pushed through the trap door of the semi trailer.

I know this is TMZ level gossip. But on the Youtube trailer comments someone said they work(ed) on the show. Saying that season 4 is a go and they start filming in New Orleans in March. Isn't there a goon with such knowledge? ^^ yer!

That Hozier trailer is completely unavailable now; does anyone have a copy of it? It got me so hyped for the next season and I want to watch it again.

This happened last season, too -- HBO marketing used a song in a Banshee trailer for another show (last year was GOT) and they re-upload the Banshee trailer with a new song. Can't use the same song twice and confuse the plebs. Not sure who is using Hozier but surely another HBO show. If you can find the old version I'd be curious, it was cool.

Watched the third season trailer with a friend, he was  and is now determined to catch up (his wife stopped watching after Sheriff Hood tore the MMA dickhead's hand apart with gusto and glee, such savage glee). Hooray for next Friday!

I recently caught up on S1 on DVD and i think my favourite scene in the whole series to day is when the MMA fighter threatens Hood with "i'm gonna find you!" and Hood screams back with absolute crazyface something like "I'm not hard to find, i'm the one with the sirens on the car!". Really looking forward to when Hood rips that Nazi-rear end in a top hat apart who killed Emmet and his wife

Oh, is it that time already? Here, have a new thread. I'm worried that it's a bit too info-dumpy, but I hope you enjoy it all the same.
