Why did he request fewer fight scenes? Are they just too demanding on him physically as an actor (which I'm sure they must be)?

Absolutely. While never at "Breaking Bad" levels of tight story-telling, Banshee always seemed to be a show that knew who it was and where it was going.

I've loved Banshee from the get-go, but this season just feels off. Everything about it - the decrease in sex and violence; the camera angles; the locations (Sugar's Bar, in particular, seems bigger and more brightly lit than it ever used to be)*; and, of course, the serial-killer angle, are just jarring. Much has…

Brings to mind, "Red Dead Redemption". The story is undoubtedly stronger for the downbeat ending (though it didn't stop me desperately playing that scene numerous times in the vain hope that my mastery of bullet-time could take out 10-or-so gunmen).

Would someone with a "Frank must Die" sign really be allowed into the courtroom viewing area? I didn't graduate magna cum laude from Harvard Law Wchool, but I suspect it could possibly be construed as trying to manipulate the jury.

"The anagram formed by the episode titles this season."
There's no K in Gustavo Fring. Or a B. Or a C for that matter. Could someone help me out here?

Am I the only one out there who thinks that Howard isn't such a bad guy? He runs a firm with a P&L, yet didn't throw Chuck under the bus. Nor did he chew out and fire the associates and paralegals (or at least we didn't see it) who he acknowledges could have missed the error. Based on what I know of the legal…

I haven't seen this show, but "Louie" looks like it's made on a production budget of $5 with a couple of bucks left over for scratch-cards. How could it cost this much per episode?

None of it is particularly scientific. It's all based on reviews, which are inherently personal and non-scientific anyway.
Whatever. It's not worth debating further. It was a silly throw-away comment which I take back.

Yes, they are all attractive for the most part. Just, in my personal opinion, those at the bottom of the heap are, by some measure, more attractive than most of those in the top. It also correlates to the observation about comedy being the most derided genre, since it's not surprising that they would populate the…

There does seem to be a hotness-to-talent pattern emerging on the female side of things (though Marion Cottilard is an outlier).

There are a lot of plot points to wrap up with not much time left. I wonder if we'll ever find out who Hood actually is.

I guess Axe Capital won't be open for trading as usual the next day. It's going to take more than a couple of laborers and a cement mixer to put that back together anytime soon.

"Bullshit, Mr Han, man".

Honestly, I don't think that the writers have decided who was killed yet. We're drifting into the "24" etch-a-sketch approach to television, in my opinion at least.

Say what you like about "Sucker Punch", the trailer was fantastic, complete with Silversun Pickups "Panic Switch".

"YO, WASSUP LITTLE MAN"

I didn't get that sense from that scene. I don't dispute that he is using his family as a tool, but I also get the sense, from these early scenes at least, that he genuinely loves them.

I fell asleep during the final third of "Man of Steel". And I say that as a man who managed to somehow stay awake through "The Smurphs 2" and the third "Alvin and the Chipmunks" movie.

Didn't they reveal the second villain in the trailer, or am I missing something?
