No shit! That last scene with Hood on the floor . . . I'm supposed to have a great big grin on my face from all the mayhem & destruction not curled in the fetal position balling my eyes out :(
Wtf are you smoking?! That was one of the best episodes of the series! One my favorite characters was just brutally ripped from the show & all it did was make me love it more.
Thrilling, intense, heartbreaking episode featuring some fantastic acting by Trieste Kelly Dunn and Antony Starr. I'm a bit uncertain about killing off Siobhan, though, because I feel like a revenge storyline is not as interesting as what we could've had if siobhan lived. It'll be so fun watching the Chayton-Hood showdown, though.
A review: http://polarbearstv.com/2015/02/06/banshee-tribal-review-3x05/
Not interested in the revenge storyline either but Siobhan living would have been worse. They need a time jump though because we can't spend the rest of the season on Lucas's revenge.
I just finished watching it. Well, this will be the first time I cried while eating cereals. haha I mean, this show gets better and better with each episode.
Poor Siobhan. I tried to convince myself she would live but when the episode started with her and Hood I knew she was a goner.
Chayton's the worst. His brother would still be alive if they hadn't started the Redbones so if he should kill someone he should take a look closer at his own actions.
Is it just me or are they trying to pair up Alison with Kurt? I am so here for that. Alison needs to loosen up a bit. xD
It's actually dealt with very well. There's a lot more to the story than just revenge for Hood to go through, and others, but I think it's all handled very well. The rest of the season is very good!
haha, yeah! I guess Siobhan must have hidden him too well and he'd passed out is the official line XD
Yeah, Kurt seems a lot tougher than Raven - there's stuff to come further down the line to bear that out too. He's a complex guy, and has become a bit of a favourite of mine I have to say.
awesome. i got my predicts right, "i think real name of lucas hood might be THE DEVIL" this show has surpassed every expectation i have on an action show. strike back now banshee.
She should've left him there. Nobody cares about his character. We need more kickass women on the show now that Nola's gone(and Siobhan).
We don't know much about him but he's already my favorite character on the show. It doesn't hurt he's easy on the eyes either. :P I hope he doesn't die next season. I need to see him with less clothes, possibly along with Alison. ;)
Now I'm wondering how Proctor will react after his mother's death. Will he go after Hood or will they both team up to kill Chayton?
i have a feeling kurt char might become a permanent for a long time. banshee writers love broken powerful men who tries to attain the better version of themselves.
I have to say I was surprised that they did get lose her, she was the heart of the show. But I guess they can't let Hood be happy, he's an anti-hero rather than a hero at the end of the day :( I am gonna miss her for sure, though the rest of the season is completely kick ass, every episode feels like a finale in some way or another, lol.
I'm glad I'm not alone in my Kurt love, I think you're only going to fall for him more tbh ;)
NOOOOO! oh my god! My Siobhan! noooo! Give Hood a break! fuck, seems like knowing his secret is a death sentence unless you ok with it. But she was OK with it at the end!
Man the episode was so awesome till that heartbreaking end! To have to watch that death, one that can't be reversed.
Epic Episode!!! Loved it!! The only thing i really really hated was Siobhan's death!! I liked Siobhan and I like Hood with Siobhan! She was very angry but at the and she accepted hood for who he was. I thief, a criminal, a rogue....it doesn't matter! She loved him!! and he told her his real name....HIS REAL NAME!! I think though Siobhan's death is necessary for hood's growth. Great episode, but I hated the last 5 minute! I cry a lot!
*dies* I'm so happy to hear he's going to have a bigger part now. Can you tell me if he's going to have any new scenes with Alison till the end of this season? I'm already shipping them HARD. xD
Oh,well. At least I won't end up disappointed. Thanks for the info. Now I can sit back and enjoy the view. I googled the actor and I find it funny he worked on soaps. What a transition!
That was truly an awesome episode, yet also gut-wrenchingly brutal at the end. Having the whole episode take place in the precinct worked so well in their favor, and the writers did an absolutely amazing job with the pacing between intense action and strong character moments.
I hate losing Siobhan, she's been a favorite of mine since the show started. The only consolation I have is I can't wait to see Hood seek his revenge on Chayton. I've hated Chayton since he arrived, but I have never wanted his character dead more than I do now. And I look forward to Hood making him suffer.
Also, the last little bit after the credits with Siobhan's trailer door continuously banging because of the wind was cruel and haunting and perfect. It was reminiscent of Carter's death on Person of Interest with the pay phone continuing to ring.
They wasn't kidding about this episode being the most talked about but I believe that the rest of this season will be equally powerful as this episode and its ending. I am so stoked!!
Having Chayton kill Siobhan certainly has made him the most hated guy on TV at the moment! It was shocking to watch even though you could tell it was coming, his "shhhhh" was just terrifyingly creepy.
Fu****** show, No One is Safe like Walking Dead ans Game of Thrones, this show killed my two favourite cast Nola (Odette Annable) and Siobhan (Trieste Kelly Dunn)
Everyone who knows the truth about Hood seems to die or sees death and they decide to let Hood go. I mean Agent Racine, Rabbit, Agent Phillips and now Siobhan. I thinks it's all about Hood
Agent Phillips didn't die, he's still out there, I guess you can count Sugar too. But yeah, the others have all died so far, including Jason Hood too, it's the way the genre tends to play it.
LOL the back & forth between you (Sandi & Zemira) made me grin! I'm Glad I wasn't the only one out there inappropriately drooling over Kurt throughout the episode. Siobhan just died & I was all blubbery blowing my nose & clutching the couch cushions in dispair & then perked up when I saw him with the EMT lol
Hehe, he certainly cushioned the blow over losing Siobhan a little bit didn't he ;)) Tom is a fantastic bit of casting, I just hope I don't embarrass myself and bibble on about him too much in my previews every week, I've managed to mention him both times he's appeared already XD
I'm sure there are a lot of us out there. I wasn't going to comment on his looks because I don't want to see any comments about me being a fangirl(crazy, obsessed girl). But dammit, I am one! :D
You've seen the remaining episodes of this season? You're lucky haha but yeah from what I've seen, this season really raised the stakes. I've loved banshee since the first season but now I really love it!
Lucky in some ways, but being a reviewer makes it feel even longer between seasons!! lol. I feel like they really know their characters now and where they want them to be, it's a hell of a journey and I'm loving every episode at the moment :)
They kept you waiting for her death didn't they! I think they wanted to show Chayton as an animal, someone whose completely lost his way and purpose, and it worked. He's mental, and there's no way Hood is every gonna let this one pass.
You can say that again. I think they also have a very clear idea about where they want to go next year...I mean, this has to be renewed right? Cinemax would be crazy not to imo!
Well, you've still haven't actually told us very much about what the actually 'problem' is that you have with this episode, or the season. Apart from making very short, snappy comments to people about how awful it all is. The only thing we can do with that is kinda guess what you are alluding to, ya know....
I'm not from the country ans my english is vert bad, but i can try to explain myself. Like i said, i fell in love with the first two seasons but not with this one. The story is boring and disappointing for me, the new characters kills everyting and the Chayton story is so "oh god kill me please!". I didn't like this season and yesterday was my last ep. I'm ok with the death of deputy Kelly but not with Nola's, i realy miss her character and the show didn't work for me anymore. Still one of the best TV show but i'm done. Once again, sorry for my very bad english.
No worries about your English, it's perfectly OK :)
I'm going to miss Nola a lot too, we never seemed to get a great deal of her back story in the show, which is a shame. I think her leaving is due to other projects she has going on rather than being written out as such, though I am not entirely sure. I do wonder if Chayton even knows that she is dead, or just thinks that she has left town again after their last chat? He seems to have gone a bit insane after his brother's death and what Rebecca & Burton did to his corpse last week though, lol.
It's a shame that you haven't connected with any of the other new characters. I have to say that I find Emily (Brock's wife) very annoying!! But I do like the new Deputy, Bunker, he seems interesting.
If it has been due to Siobhan's death, rather than Nola's, I would have recommended giving next week's episode a go before leaving the show. It's an interesting one in some ways and has some scenes that Siobhan fans might enjoy.
Hahaha, literally the first thing that popped into my head when i woke up today was "oh no Siobhan is dead" quickly followed by "mmmmmm, Bunker in that tank top" LOL! I have some very mixed emotions about that episode, I still haven't done my rewatch, don't know if I'm gonna need a box of tissues or a cold shower ;p
I think you are bibbling on about him the perfect amount, he has been a definite scene stealer. I really liked him right after that first exchange outisde the Cadi.
Yeah, me too, I thought he's going to be a great character no matter what his affiliation ends up being. I didn't care if he was telling the truth or lying tbh, just thought he was intriguing. (and damn, those beautiful eyes!! XD)
Trieste is absolutely gorgeous!! Needless to say, last night was a tough one for me. I'm never gonna stop watching Banshee while it's on, but it will definitely be a couple weeks before I work up the courage to watch the rest of the season. It's unhealthy to care for a fictional character this much, but I'm truly gutted.
Thank you. I didn't want to seem rude or something like that. Actually i really like the ex-nazi guy and i still love Hood but is not enough for me. I'm sorry i didn't want to be rude with anyone. Have a good night!
84 comments on Banshee.....loving it!! Awesome episode!! Though I´m really sad to see Siobhan go, it will be interesting to see Lucas get his revenge. I thought it was a beautiful goodbuy to her character. Bunker is added to my favorite characters (the list is long on this show).
Well it looks like the show has been renewed for a fourth season for eight episodes and I think that is because Greg is working on another show for cinemax or something like that. Either way, I am stoked for that season and for season five which is supposed to be the final season.
NOTE: Name-calling, personal attacks, spamming, excessive self-promotion, condescending pomposity, general assiness, racism, sexism, any-other-ism, homophobia, acrophobia, and destructive (versus constructive) criticism will get you BANNED from the party.
we should have the option "heartbreaking".
ReplyDeleteWTF? I'm done with this show ! Awful Ep.
ReplyDeleteNo shit! That last scene with Hood on the floor . . . I'm supposed to have a great big grin on my face from all the mayhem & destruction not curled in the fetal position balling my eyes out :(
ReplyDeleteWtf are you smoking?! That was one of the best episodes of the series! One my favorite characters was just brutally ripped from the show & all it did was make me love it more.
ReplyDeleteIt is my opinion! I did not like this episode and i have the right to do so!
ReplyDeleteHoly shit that was a great episode. Sucks that Siobhan had to go, she was one of my favorites. Who the fuck would vote awful on this episode?
ReplyDeleteMe! Problem?
ReplyDeleteI knew it was coming, but damn that hurt.
ReplyDeleteI'd vote for that, because that's how I'm feeling right now.
ReplyDeleteThrilling, intense, heartbreaking episode featuring some fantastic acting by Trieste Kelly Dunn and Antony Starr. I'm a bit uncertain about killing off Siobhan, though, because I feel like a revenge storyline is not as interesting as what we could've had if siobhan lived. It'll be so fun watching the Chayton-Hood showdown, though.
ReplyDeleteA review: http://polarbearstv.com/2015/02/06/banshee-tribal-review-3x05/
Why was it awful ?
ReplyDeleteCalled it. Glad I was right. Siobhan is gone. She really served no more purpose. Now we proceed.
ReplyDeleteNot interested in the revenge storyline either but Siobhan living would have been worse. They need a time jump though because we can't spend the rest of the season on Lucas's revenge.
ReplyDeleteThey killed Siobhan...?
ReplyDeleteHood's reaction was great drama but I am not impressed that they killed off Siobhan.
ReplyDeleteThe should have kept Siobhan and Nola and killed Carrie.
ReplyDeleteI just finished watching it. Well, this will be the first time I cried while eating cereals. haha I mean, this show gets better and better with each episode.
ReplyDeletePoor Siobhan. I tried to convince myself she would live but when the episode started with her and Hood I knew she was a goner.

It's actually dealt with very well. There's a lot more to the story than just revenge for Hood to go through, and others, but I think it's all handled very well. The rest of the season is very good!
ReplyDeleteWhy was it awful? :)
ReplyDeleteIt was brutal wasn't it, you could tell it was coming even with all the psych outs along the way through the episode. absolutely heartbreaking :(
ReplyDeleteChayton is a monster, I think that's what killing Siobhan was meant to show, and it worked for me. You know that Hood isn't going to let that pass.
ReplyDeleteI like Kurt, very intriguing and intense character - very cute actor too, lol.
I guess people who don't like Siobhan's death and vote purely on that rather than the actual episode being fricking awesome!
ReplyDeleteChayton is full of it. He killed Siobhan and disappeared. Why didn't he go after Raven? Is it because the episode ended? xD
ReplyDeleteThe part where Raven's on the stretcher with a mask on while Kurt's just sitting there, getting stitched up even though he got shot made me go whaaat.
Kurt is sent from the Heaven. xD He's so calm and polite. I like a guy with tattoos(ignoring the Nazi symbols) who's also so collected.
haha, yeah! I guess Siobhan must have hidden him too well and he'd passed out is the official line XD
ReplyDeleteYeah, Kurt seems a lot tougher than Raven - there's stuff to come further down the line to bear that out too. He's a complex guy, and has become a bit of a favourite of mine I have to say.
awesome.
ReplyDeletei got my predicts right,
"i think real name of lucas hood might be THE DEVIL"

ReplyDeleteI'm glad I'm not alone in my Kurt love, I think you're only going to fall for him more tbh ;)
This is very true, and he is certainly that!
ReplyDeleteHa yes, The Devil sounds about right unfortunately.
ReplyDeleteNOOOOO!
ReplyDeleteoh my god! My Siobhan! noooo!
Give Hood a break! fuck, seems like knowing his secret is a death sentence unless you ok with it. But she was OK with it at the end!
Man the episode was so awesome till that heartbreaking end! To have to watch that death, one that can't be reversed.
This season is Crazy!
No Its The Doctor, in the series finale he is going to go to his Tardis and go man taking time off on Earth was a pain, back to adventures.
ReplyDeleteTHIS!!! I completely agree with you.
ReplyDeleteSo, you've seen the rest of the season? :O
ReplyDeletelmao, I don't think I could fall for him more than I already have. I just might change my icon cause of him. xD
Congrats to you, sir. You just made me laugh so hard.
ReplyDeleteEpic Episode!!! Loved it!! The only thing i really really hated was Siobhan's death!! I liked Siobhan and I like Hood with Siobhan! She was very angry but at the and she accepted hood for who he was. I thief, a criminal, a rogue....it doesn't matter! She loved him!! and he told her his real name....HIS REAL NAME!! I think though Siobhan's death is necessary for hood's growth.
ReplyDeleteGreat episode, but I hated the last 5 minute! I cry a lot!
Yeah, I do the previews & teasers for the site here so we get screeners sent to us :)
ReplyDeleteGo for it, make it really cute one ;)
It's completely nuts isn't it, I am definitely enjoying the ride though and don;t wanna get off, heartbreaking as it is at times!
ReplyDeleteBunkers is way more than cool! ^__^
*dies* I'm so happy to hear he's going to have a bigger part now. Can you tell me if he's going to have any new scenes with Alison till the end of this season? I'm already shipping them HARD. xD
ReplyDeletehaha they'll all be cute, cause he's in 'em. :P
*holds* It was sad, but yeah it was needed for Hood to go forwards, so I can see why it happened. Awesome episode!
ReplyDeleteHmm, I don't think he does unfortunately, but he does have some awesome scenes though. He's a v talented actor tbh
ReplyDeleteOh,well. At least I won't end up disappointed. Thanks for the info. Now I can sit back and enjoy the view.

ReplyDeleteFu****** show, No One is Safe like Walking Dead ans Game of Thrones, this show killed my two favourite cast Nola (Odette Annable) and Siobhan (Trieste Kelly Dunn)
ReplyDeleteWorst show ever now that Siobhan is gone
ReplyDeleteThe actress hasn't actually left the show as yet... ;)

ReplyDeleteNice icon you have there ;))
ReplyDeleteWhy, thank you. :D
ReplyDeleteI was looking for the most intense shot of him.
I'm sure there are a lot of us out there. I wasn't going to comment on his looks because I don't want to see any comments about me being a fangirl(crazy, obsessed girl). But dammit, I am one! :D
ReplyDeleteI cried into my cereal this morning. xD
Yeah, I know what you mean. We tried to stay calm through the first few comments. haha
ReplyDeleteYou've seen the remaining episodes of this season? You're lucky haha but yeah from what I've seen, this season really raised the stakes. I've loved banshee since the first season but now I really love it!
ReplyDeleteYou did well :))
ReplyDeleteI hate you Chayton. Not Siobhan.
ReplyDeleteThe episode was excellent, but I knew she would die the moment they opened it with a flashback.
Lucky in some ways, but being a reviewer makes it feel even longer between seasons!! lol. I feel like they really know their characters now and where they want them to be, it's a hell of a journey and I'm loving every episode at the moment :)
ReplyDeleteThey kept you waiting for her death didn't they! I think they wanted to show Chayton as an animal, someone whose completely lost his way and purpose, and it worked. He's mental, and there's no way Hood is every gonna let this one pass.
ReplyDeleteI can dig that haha! I bet it's gonna be chaotic throughout the rest of this season huh?
ReplyDeleteYou can say that again. I think they also have a very clear idea about where they want to go next year...I mean, this has to be renewed right? Cinemax would be crazy not to imo!
ReplyDeleteOr maybe they juste found it awful? Hard to believe no?
ReplyDeleteYep, I find that pretty hard to believe, lol
ReplyDeleteClearly this just isn't your kind of show.
ReplyDeleteI fell in love with the first two seasons but not with this one. And you don't know me.
ReplyDeleteSorry you're not enjoying this season. For me this season is the best season to date and the other 2 were already brilliant.
ReplyDeleteIt's one of the best shows on tv currently.
How about telling us why you thought it was awful?
ReplyDeleteFUCK. MY. LIFE. *curls in fetal position and dies*
ReplyDeleteWell, you've still haven't actually told us very much about what the actually 'problem' is that you have with this episode, or the season. Apart from making very short, snappy comments to people about how awful it all is. The only thing we can do with that is kinda guess what you are alluding to, ya know....
