Banshee - Episode 2.10 - Bullets and Tears - Finale Preview & Teasers [UPDATE]

UPDATE 12th March: Correct guesses on who said what have been filled in

I don’t think that anyone reading this is unaware by now that there is going to be the odd death or two in the finale...well make that the odd one or two dozen in total, give or take. But what you might not have guessed until you saw the promo is, thanks to the nonlinear unfolding of this final instalment of the season, we also have quite a few people back from the grave making an appearance. In fact almost as many deceased characters show up as significant ones die, albeit fleetingly in some cases. They are all people that we have met before or know about already, and they are all important to the past and future of Hood and/or Carrie. History, whether it be secret, personal, shared or plain made up is an important theme in Bullets and Tears, as is where do the characters go from now, how do they shape their own future?

Tropper, Yaitanes and the cast have obviously worked hard on this episode, you’ll be glad to know that it comes in at a full hour in length so has plenty of time to set up and execute the main stories without rushing over any of the details. As to be expected much of the action takes place in New York where we have two plots playing out over two different time periods, both mirroring each other in many ways with similar themes and emotions at play. Then there is the activities that take place on home turf; some loose ends are tied up in Banshee town and a few Season 3 ones are blown open, both of which are sure to get fans talking. Then there are two other locations that appear which I'm not going to say too much about, except that we don’t visit either for too long and neither are particularly pleasant places to be.

But to end on a lighter note, as it’s not all doom and gloom this week, Hoon Lee is highly likely to be my pick for Scene of the Week again next weekend, but at present I just can’t make my mind up between two of his best moments. One is Job being more fabulous than you have ever seen him before, but in a very different kind of audacious action sequence to last week during a flashback where Ana gets taken to meet him for the very first time. The other is heroic, and perhaps includes some hints of a past life we may get further into next season between himself, Lucas and a new character.


Many thanks for reading my previews & teasers this season, it's been a great one and I hope you enjoy the finale as much as we have here on the site. Hopefully we will see you over the hiatus with filming news and maybe an interview or two.

“So I ask myself how many Ukrainians do I know who could report a robbery in progress before that robbery was actually in progress. Then I thought, Rabbit’s Ukrainian, maybe he can point me in the right direction” Racine

“This is Chayton” Chayton

“Well, the good news is we’re going to see Fat Au” Hood

“Tell me, how did you get your false credentials for that job, a background check should have taken six months?”

“You have her face, almost exactly, I hoped to meet you in friendly circumstances” Priest

“No, no, no, this is a place we all can come to express ourselves freely, lord knows I do. These gentlemen here have bit as much right to express themselves as any of us”

“How many lives have you lived?”

“You almost made it through the whole song, you’re getting better” Hood

“Well, where would we be without women to fuck us up, hmm?”

“You look at me and remember, somewhere in the future there is a bench just like this waiting for you” Rabbit
