Banshee - A Fixer of Sorts - Advance Preview + Dialogue Teasers

UPDATE January 22
A new poster has been released for the episode - Nola v Burton?

As I’m sure most of you already know, we’re huge fans of the show here on the site. Even so, I don’t think any other episode has caused as much excitement, or discussion, as this one has behind the scenes before. As you have no doubt seen from the promos someone knows Hood’s true identity, whilst another knows he’s not who he says he is. Greg’s “best fight of the series” features, and as not to be outdone, some renegade Redbones also strikeout aiming to cause some mayhem in the aftermath of last week’s humiliating defeat on Proctor’s home turf. Believe us when we say that this is an episode you don't want to miss!

Burton doesn’t get time to finish washing away the blood from the thwarted home invasion carried out by Chayton’s rookie assassins when the real deal decides to pay him a visit - and she’s pissed! A vengeful Nola is far more capable of handling herself than the flunky whose severed ear is currently floating in the pool’s filtration system. She’s methodically planned ahead, given herself the advantage and knows exactly how this beat down is going to end.

The fight’s choreography is flawless as the two disciplined and proficient opponents show off their particular visceral skill set. It goes without saying that Odette Annable and Matthew Rauch both evidently worked intensively on making this performance one to remember. Some credit must however go to the entire team, including director Magnus Martens, the writer/director the Norwegian thriller Jackpot. His fluid camera work and clever edits keep you in the middle of the action at all times.

Meanwhile, Hood has reluctantly let his mysterious visitor in and after a few snarky comments fly between the two of them, they head off intending to go to the city. Before too long, however, they are both taken by surprise and end up on what proves to be a road trip from hell. Once you hear who has organised this outing it’s fairly apparent what an impossible situation Hood is in. We already know that Raymond Brantley isn’t a man who’s likely to forgive or forget. Therefore it’s obvious that this day was coming at some point and whole business would have to be dealt with, once and for all.
