<p>Does Banshee have GOT levels of nudity and if do why have you waited till now to mention it?</p>
</div>

<p> </p>
<p>It's been mentioned lots. This is a Cinemax (SkinnyMax) show, what else do you expect.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>You need to watch series 1 and 2 though, The titty quota has dropped in Series 3.</p> -

<p>It's become slightly repetitive in that the group goes from one encounter with a bunch of crazy survivors - the hospital cops, Terminites, the Governor - to the next, and it's just a matter of waiting for them to discover the angle and then knock them all off in a confrontation while losing and replacing the occasional core character for dramatic effect. And yet it's still enjoyable to watch, wait, and try to figure out what's going on then witness the action. I expect this seasons' cliffhanger will be exactly when we learn the intentions of the Alexandrians, and must only be 2-3 episodes away now. Next weeks' trailer was edited so it looks like Daryl is being stalked and shot at, but I suspect the two aren't related and we'll have at least one more episode of settling in and hints at what's to come before anything major is revealed. Maybe the Alexandrians arent bad in general and it's just a few internal bad apples - already fingered in last nights' episode - who force our heroes' hand. Ricks' comment at the end about not becoming weak and being in a position to take the town by force if need be was quite telling, and was one of the interjections they throw in from time to time to show us how ruthless he has become. It certainly made me look forward to the possibility. You can see cracks appearing in the group already (Daryl), but also their potential for ruthlessness if need be also lingering under the surface (Carol and Rick) and one suspects they'll reunite in arms following a divergence in Alexandria</p>

<p>TWD</p>

<p>[spoiler]These Alexandrians are an interesting bunch, particuklarly thier leader...video taping them all??<br><br>
I did wonder if it was some kind of future breeding thing to screen out the weak, but they have a gay couple which doesnt help.<br><br>
she is very keen for them to stay yet their first encounter with that dude he said theyd have an entry interview of sorts, was that it? cos they kinda missed the boat allowing them to come in..whats with taking guns off them but allow Darryl to keep his x-bow? who they better not kill, I've had enough of shows killing off characters I like having on the show!!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Are they just muppets?<br><br>
Although I suspect them being weak is a ruse to let <strong>them</strong> get weak and complacent, but to what end?<br><br>
Are they experimenting with a cure, so need people to turn to try turn them back?? I doubt we'll have another cannibal commune.<br><br>
Or is Rick and Co's paranoia and distrust going to ruin the community who just want to welcome them in to help move toward the future?<br><br>
[/spoiler]</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Anyone watching Better Call Saul? Seems to be getting pretty good ratings.</p> -
<p>TR I think its going with the plotlines of the book again and the people in that community are just clueless and she needs Rick to help them sort their shit out. We'll probably know for sure if thats the case when we find out if the leaders husband is still are and if not what happened to him.</p>
-
<p>Yeah my brother said it seems to be going back along similar lines to the <strike>comics</strike> graphic novels.</p>

Banshee - Brutal and sick. <br><br>
Done and dusted, can we get back to more hotties with their yayas out now pleae.</p></blockquote>
Yep, guess we will learn more of proctors bodyguard fella soon too, theyve been giving snippets recently, I think Rebecca thinks more of herself than her uncle does...yes to more hottie's! <br><br>
Jegga - TWD [spoiler] I had thought that community were just muppets, but if so, how have they survived so long? There must be a fair few groups like Ricks (the Governor, the cannibals) roaming looking for a new home, if they were weak surely someone would a dealt to them? I mean I already gave my location lined up for where I'll live and how I'll survive there

<p>[spoiler]So it appears that Burton is a eunuch and is fiercely loyal to Proctor because Proctor managed to save him in the past.<br>
The army guy is now set up to be the next bad guy for Hood to deal with while Proctor's storyline stays internal.<br>
I'm searching for ideas on where any new hotties are going to come from, but Hood needs a new root so that may be promising.[/spoiler]</p> -
<p>Anyone watching Gallipoli, being shown on Ch9 here in Oz. It is based on Les Carolyn's book Gallipoli, and if you haven't read it you should (he doesn't have much good to say about Murdoch the original).</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I was a little concerned it would be an over the top jingoistic approach to a terrible battle. I couldn't have been more wrong than a really wrong thing. The story is told through the eyes of a 17 year old who lied about his age to follow hos brother to war. It is predominately told from the Australian point of view, but treats the Turks and Kiwi's with sensitivity.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Monday's episode dealt with the "Big Push", and covered Chunuk Bair, Lone Pine, The Nek and Baby 700. I am sentimental and the room did get dusty there for a while!</p> -
I havent started it but is on MySky.

<p>Here is an interesting article that wonders & surmises why Gallipoli isn't rating as well as some of the reality tripe that is served up on TV now a days</p>

<p>Banshee</p>

<p>[spoiler] Is a eunuch a eunuch regardless of having made that way by religious belief or torture (guess you could be like that for medical reasons too), as I wonder if he is like that through torture.</p>

<p>Hood needed to kill that army dude, as it appears he is already barking up the right tree. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>They could bring in some hot assassins to hang out in Banshee? </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I did find it extremely odd how quiet the streets of New Orleans was while Hood and Cheyton were fighting, and then all the gun shots, surely the local cops over there woulda been allover that? Or is whatever part of NO that sparsely populated that no one was there to hear? [/spoiler]</p> -

<p>I just clicked today that I had completely missed ep 6 of Banshee - I didn't even realise when watching.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I thought the exact same thing about the streets etc, it's a definite suspend your disbelief show.</p> -

<p>But that's what gives it licence to do some of the crazy shit it does.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I also like the way the producers (especially when Greg Ytaines has a crack himself) have a play at different techniques. Sometimes it comes off too arty and contrived but other times it is very clever and fresh. The heist sequence filmed by the actors themselves and the mini cams that Job dropped around was very clever. The actors were the camera operators and Sugar was the director.</p> -
<p>Danny McBride and Jody Hill have a new show ordered by HBO, and it will star McBride and Walter Goggins. :)<br><br>
