Burton is one of my favorite TV characters of all time. There was only 2 possible outcomes from that scene, and I was just fine with the outcome. (Though did it feel just a tad like fight between 2 terminators? Yes.) Also loved that Hood went into the woods for the agent.

Though the only real distraction for me this episode was that guy's really obviously fake fat-suit/face.

Yes Alan Ball is an EP on the show, but not show runner. The show runner is Greg Yaitanes who is also the lead director. He previously worked on House.

Yaitanes said in the above interview they are aiming for 5 seasons.

He also said he prefers 10 episode seasons.

This should be the standard for all cable TV dramas. 5 seasons keeps the show from jumping the shark, and 10 episodes keeps it interesting and usually doesn't have any filler episodes.

Can only really echo what as already been said. Incredible episode. I hope they still have a budget for the rest of the season!

Did not expect Odette to be killed off at this point in the game. That fight was amazing. And once again goes to show some of the best action and stunt work these days are on TV, with shows like Banshee, Strike Back, Arrow, etc.

Sorry to see Nola go, but she was little more than a cool idea for a character that they never quite did anything with.

Holy Sh*t! I started binging on Banshee a few weeks ago and just watched this episode last night. So much happened. When it was over, I had to ask myself how many episodes I just watched.

I've never seen a show with action scenes like this show. I find myself saying "Holy Sh*t" at least once an episode. I'm sad I'm more than halfway done with the show's episodes. I want them to keep coming.

Yeah you're in for a great ride.

I haven't watched S4 because I cut the cord, and the eps. couldn't be bought weekly like most shows. However, I just saw S4 will be out 6/20, so I'll finish up the series soon.

Enjoy.

Yeah, premium cable is always like that. Digital releases aren't next-day and tend to line up with the physical media release, but Banshee season 3 came out digitally before BD, and season 4 will do the same. I saw a few episodes of season 4 during a free weekend, but am also looking forward to next week's release to finish it off. I'll probably end up double-dipping on both because the show is great to watch on BD.

Anyone have any idea when they will release the complete series set on BD? I haven't bought any of the individual seasons.

Good question. It's an HBO property so I would think it'll happen sometime down the road. Probably at least a year after the final single release.

C'mon, don't put that shit in a previous-season thread.
