<p>well that's what I mean, with 1 ep to go, an awful lot to tie up, and easy/lazy out would be to have those others deal with one another, despite needing a more violent showdown.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Yeah seems they gave us glimpses of the past of both Hood and Burton, but haven't gone any further...kinda like they thought the series would run a bit longer?</p> -

<p>It was their own decision to pull the show. They have stated that they wanted to tell a full story (I guess Hood/Carrie's story) and wrap it up. Didn't want to drift on for the sake of it.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I thought the Burton thing was self-explanatory. You don't need to know his backstory except that he is totally devoted to Proctor because Proctor saved his life.</p> -

<p>Yeah ya don't need to know too much about him other than that. I hope he gets his beans though, he is fucken irritating.</p> -
<p>I guess I was more thinking a bit more about how he became this tough as killing machine who can deal to so many hardened Nazi killers as the camera pans round the room, what lead to his torture etc.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The backstory about Hoods black ops shit is more I think to try to convince fans like MN5 that is why he is so god damned tough, whereas again, seems to have touched on some things but not bothered.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The Americans - watched the ep where Nadia was told of her fate, they dealt with that pretty quickly.</p> -

<p>Well based on that you'd need backstories on damn near ALL the main characters who can take out multiple opponents without breaking a sweat. Proctor, Job, Bunker, Carrie, Cop chick, Chayton etc.</p> -
<p>ha yeah...for a show that is fantastical and you switch off a lot of thinking, at times it seems they have tried to engage a bit of thought but chosen to not go that way for some reason or another.</p>

<p>I read an article awhile ago on shows/movies doing better when they are "realistic within their imaginary worlds" or some such shit. So in Star Wars we readily accept Jedi with powers, lightabres, blasters, travelling at light speed, Death Stars etc because in that world that makes sense. I think cos Banshee isn't a piss take it can be a bit hard to justify every single person fighting as well as they can ( not to mention never finding out Hoods identity, Proctor continually getting away with dodgy shit, Carrie NEVER getting caught or even hurt during her vigilante missions etc ), the bullshit needle got pushed to critical early on when Hood beat a much bigger, faster guy who happened to also be a UFC champion. As we all know in some episodes multiple people die and are never mentioned again yet as I said earlier the town freaks out at three chicks dying over a year. It's kinda losing it's own identity and it's confused as to what sort of show it's trying to be. If the government wanted to it could have easily sent Hood, Job and Carrie into the middle east with Sugar co-ordinating ( cos as an ex boxer bar owner he is just so qualified to do so ) and the threat of ISIS would be completely wiped out and they'd all have a congratulatory bottle of hard liquor to celebrate.</p>

<p>In saying all that it's still fucken compelling viewing.</p> -
<p>yeah I read that, I see they said they had lots of storylines lined up for Deva, thank fark they didn't go down that road!</p>

<p>That's the part where Homeland died for me. The whiny teen daughter.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>On Banshee I think this reviewer hits the way we all feel.</p>

Do you reckon they were even hers? The Cersei nude walk was all CGI. -

<p>That was defintely CGI/body double last night. And the whole effect looked shit. </p>

<p> </p>
<p>I agree that it looked fake, but according to the owner of the pair in question</p>
<p> </p>
<blockquote class="ipsBlockquote">"It's so exciting, very tingly-making. Every season I get at least one spine-chilling moment. I just stand up and I go, 'I'm hearing what you're all saying, but funny thing, I'm going to kill you all. I forgot that I have an ace in my back pocket and now I win.' I'd like to remind people the last time I took my clothes off was season 3. That was awhile ago. It's now season 6. But this is all me, all proud, all strong. I'm just feeling genuinely happy I said 'Yes.' That ain't no body double!"

<p>surely if Cersei is smart, she will use the Tyrrels to destroy the High Sparrow and his merry men, rather than those fomr Kings Landing, that way they can distance themselves form it if there is an uprising.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>But agree, I dunno if Olenna will be easily fooled....</p> -
What next? Airwolf?
