MinPinGirlFebruary 28, 2015 at 11:02 AM BANSHEE SPOILER!!!
Shit I made sure to watch it last night because I'm usually the last to comment. Well this week's episode was no disappointment that's for damn sure! Where to start? Where to start?
I guess Rebecca has been found out by Burton with her side dealing (hey she's making a profit). What I want to know is what the hell was or wasn't down Burton's pants when she reached in there. The look on her face was near horrified so was he just flaccid, or missing some junk? Inquiring minds.
I was completely confused over Proctor being re-baptized(?) but not confused about him getting dragged off. Notice Miss hippy dippy got dragged off too? She's gonna be dead soon. BTW we all knew Rebecca ain't quite right in the head, but holy Jesus, Burton is off the charts. He has ramped up his creep factor just in the scene with him silent screaming. Yikes!
Sugar ain't the sharpest knife in the drawer but - Hell to the Yes! Job done kicked that scamming boxers ass wearing ruffles AND eyeshadow (and got the damn money back - he was cool). Carrie proved she is a cold as ice actress but she still better watch her back because bat shit nutty/angry Colonel Stowe is going hunting. There are a lot of seriously mentally disturbed/scary motherfuckers on this show.
So Lucas and Brock take a roadtrip to NOLA looking for Chayton, yet nobody in Banshee has bothered to look there for Nola Longshadow. She's the chief's daughter but no one wonders where the fuck she's been hiding out. That still irks me. So Chayton finally meets his end and what an end it was. I'm glad that Lucas fucked him up a bit before killing him. Poor Brock, its like its finally occurring to him that police work in Banshee isn't all black and white. Everyone is finally figuring out that Lucas isn't a real cop, but nobody seems to care anymore.
Two more episodes to go. I think Kai Proctor is looking at some major shit hitting his fan.
min pin i think the people who kidnapped and tortured burton also castrated him too since the "eww like something's missing down there!!" face..then smirk and giggle at his lack of manhood..
proctor has wanted to be back in the good graces of his family since season 1 his papa just wouldn't have him until now.. rebecca was trying to play hero for uncle.lover kai only she missed the mark literally.
i'm glad they are pronouncing job's name more.. long o like show and i loved that job had sugar's back the whole way through
col stowe knows carrie was somehow behind it because she was the only person close enough to him to get a voice recording while he was occupied he's onto her he just doesn't know who the others are...yet he knows carrie grew up all around the best criminals so...
i love how most people know something's "off" with lucas hood but really don't care too..like you do you and get stuff done okay..
i loved seeing chayton blown to bits like that.. warrior.. dead warrior now..
i think rebecca bit off more than she can "swallow" double dealing and then ratting out kai.. kai and rebecca will survive, burton will show up to save him but i think emily will be collateral damage to rebecca's and burton's glee
good recap minpin don't be scared to go frist around here we welcome all feedback..
Wait - Rebecca ratted Kai out WHAT??? As I understood it, Rebecca is dealing dope to the Mexicans behind Kai's back because Kai made an agreement with the black dudes that he would deal with them exclusively (to keep the Mexican dealers off their turf). Burton discovered things were amiss in the books, but only that there was more $$ than expected. Far as I knew Rebecca and the Mexican drug runners were keeping everything on the DL (so SHE wouldn't get her ass in trouble). When did the ratting happen because it was the black drug cartel that dragged Kai off?
A small side note- the actor (Wilson Jermaine Heredia) that plays Mexican drug lord, Hector Morales, also played Cha Cha the drag queen in Flawless.
Back to Rebecca and Burton. I thought she had a smirk on her face when she was reaching into his pants thinking she could easily seduce him and THEN she got that holy shit look. Like I said I seem to have missed some episodes last season, so I think I might have missed some major plot complications. No junk seems like a MAJOR plot complication. I guess Rebecca did throw the old - if Uncle Kai has to choose between us who do you think he'll pick? - cue big smirk. Not so sure Uncle Kai WOULD pick her. He's already replaced her in bed.
Oh yeah Colonel Stowe knows Carrie's in on it, I'm just saying she is one cool customer when faced with his crazy ass. Then again her dad was Rabbit.
Another funny note. The actor that plays Brock was on a 1999 episode of Law and Order today. He had a full head of hair.
minpin.. i just assumed rebecca ratted out kai but now i think you're right it wasn't rebecca's doing but burton forcing kai's hand by tipping off the black cartel.. it was burton's way of showing kai what rebecca has caused with her recklessness.. and then burton will rescue kai and kai will choose burton.
rebecca was horrified when she put her hands down burton's pants.. ( i still think he's been castrated by the former kidnappers) then she smirked when burton wouldn't turn his back on kai and told him who do you think kai would choose
BANSHEE SPOILERS *Fight Club: Chayton edition. That ringleader must be really powerful for those two cops to get out of there alive *That gunshot blast! That dangly optic nerve! RIP Chayton but it was time for you to bounce *The fine line between cops and criminals is a pretty common trope *I agree that Burton was mutilated, and I'm hating Rebecca's portrayal lately *Those kids at the boxing ring can now confirm that Job and Sugar were in possession of a large sum of cash. That could bite them in the ass later *Proctor was supposed to sell mdma exclusively to Frasier and the Black Beards, which Rebecca violated by selling 2 kilos for $12k to Morales. I don't think Proctor or Burton ratted, but that the Black Beards realized someone else was selling an identical product or they were losing sales. Any good drug dealer knows what's out on the streets and who their competition is. People talk, but more so, MDMA often features "brands" or stamps which distinguish them, so the Black Beards could have discovered that someone else sells the same MDMA. Burton will HAVE to rescue Proctor now, and he will regret not telling him about Becca's double dipping. Before this, I'd say Proctor would pick Burton over Becca but after his betrayal, who knows? *I think either Emily or Carrie could die this season. Emily dying would be devastating to Brock too *“Float like a butterfly, motherfucker.”
@MinPin- Rebecca is dealing to the Salvadorians, not Mexicans. That's why Morales said he would "slice Rebecca into pieces" if their deal didn't go smoothly. A lot of the old school Salvadorian gangsters grew up trained in guerrilla warfare; the machete is often a weapon of choice for those gangs
Lady H - hats off to you for remembering such details about the episodes (how many kilos @ how much etc). I had to google to make sure I got some of the names right. S few episodes ago Kai was calling Burton, Clay (his first name) lately only Burton. I had to make sure I had the right names (Lucas Black and Kai Proctor are the only peeps I know by their first and last names). Salvadorians make more sense (I was flashing back to Hector as Cha Cha the Mexican drag queen). I have a tendency to watch Banshee late at night so I think I miss stuff easier.
I 100% agree with your assessment of how the Black Beards figured out that the drugs were from Kai's warehouse. As for Burton not blowing the whistle on Rebecca, I'm not entirely convinced he had enough time to do so. I think he was still processing his anger & flashback and hadn't really had enough time to have done anything to have stopped what happened with Kai getting snatched. My opinion is up in the air as to whether I think he would have told Kai after the church baptism.
I'm hoping if one of them gets dead, it's gonna be Emily aka hippy chick. She was bringing Brock grief and it was only gonna get worse. I'm hoping Carrie is too ninja to be done in by the likes of Stowe. I think that's one of the reasons it bugs me so much that Nola hasn't been missed. She was a major badass (that fight scene with Burton was off the hook) and she deserves to be missed. I for one will not miss Emily.
Also, I think the only one at the gym who knew there was a large sum of $$ in that gym bag, was the boxer that Sugar gave it to. Sugar made it sound like that was every penny he could scrape together so it didn't sound like he suddenly had a windfall (IMO). Job also let the kid know that HE KNEW that the kid had been scamming the govt. for YEARS for his daddies benefits, so the kid definitely has something to lose if he opens his mouth about bags of $$. Just a thought.
I know if someone had just handed me a bag of money in a gym, I sure as shit wouldn't want anyone to know I had it in my locker.
Thanks @MinPin- I'm actually really interested in how Banshee will depict these gangs. They've been good about using accurate but generic enough tattoos and historical hints like chopping people up to establish the nationality, but not enough to get sued or threatened by who they are specifically depicting (MS).
Coulda/shoulda/woulda- it's too late for Burton, because Kai was already kidnapped and doesn't even know why. That was some brilliant manipulation to get us to somewhat sympathize with that asshole- great set up. That's the only purpose the ceremony served- they are now forever exiled despite their recent efforts.
Someone could have tipped off the Black Beards, but if they are really the big players in a small town, they will know damn well if that many rival sales are happening. The Salvadorans could've been bragging about it too - it'd be a huge public diss to BBeards and they don't respect Rebecca anyways. We will see: Banshee does not seem to play by normal tv conventions lol
Good call with the scammer kid, I just worry he can help place all that stolen money in their hands. I hope the Nola storyline comes back this season but it wouldn't surprise me if it didn't. As much as I love it, Banshee can be sloppy (same went for SOA). I've had debates with friends about whether those kinds of shows are more "accurate" in a way in depicting the criminal underbelly than super "neat" shows like BrBa. They are more chaotic (as that lifestyle inherently is) which definitely makes it less predictable. Can't wait till the next one
As I've stated before, a lot of my amazement over nobody wondering about the disappearance of Nola goes back to the fact that she's Chief Longshadow's daughter AND the chief's son (Nola's brother) had very recently been killed. They made that a pretty big focus and then zip!
Okay - to whoever told me to try watching Blackish again....we did and it was pretty freakin funny, so thanks. I don't know why that first episode just didn't seem all that great. Maybe I was having a shit day who knows? Anyway Blackish has now been put into the DVR rotation. ROASTED!!!
We're thrilled to have something new to watch because several of our regular shows aren't back on yet. Strike Back, DaVinci's Demons, Outlander and Ripper Street are all still AWOL.
We just can't get into all of those political shows. I hear everyone saying how great they are, and I like some of the actors (& hate some) but I'm just not interested in political shows -barf!
That is one long finger!
ReplyDeleteI've always found that cucumbers burn my eyes a bit. Not refreshing at all.
ReplyDeleteLevine is such a metrosexual.
Yes who knew the day would come that we would be calling a man with tats a metrosexual.

ReplyDeleteNot forgetting using butter/oil in the sun to achieve that Farrah Fawcett tan
