yeah the series has left alot of questions alright.<br />
<br />
[spoiler]That needle thing to the ex was very cold alright!<br />
<br />
Yeah you do start feeling for Clay (he plays the moping teen well) but you just think of all the sh!t he's done and think its karma.<br />
<br />
Tara is turning into Peggy Bundy bigtime.<br />
<br />
I think Jax still wants out, but I dont think he really knows how to get out while keeping all those around him, both safe and semi-amicable.<br />
<br />
Not sure about Bobby, what changed his line of thinking or why he has become disillusioned by JAx's direction given the sh!t Clay was upto...but I guess Chips or Tig to be his RH man?[/spoiler] -
about Jax<br />
<br />
[spoiler]if he really wants out, he can go now, all his goals where achieved. Didn't seem like he had much interest in leaving though. And he keeps going on about not bringing up his kids in it, but when Tara decided to leave and take them he got pissy about it. I reckon he is starting to realise he is good at being a gangster, and kind of likes it.<br />
<br />
Chibs has a job, i don't think he has enough trust in Tig (the Donna thing still looms large), Juice is a rat, and basically a pussy, Phil is new. Happy serves a purpose, but advice is not that purpose.<br />
<br />
I think Bobby changes his mind after he worked out Jax went behind the club's back to pursue his revenge on Clay, which is exactly what Clay did. Not sure he was overly happy with how many people Jax decided on personally killing either. I like Bobby's character, he's pretty interesting. Have to say, Nero is a good addition to the show as well.<br />
<br />
Tara thought she was turning into Jemma, but she is nowhere near ruthless, or self-serving enough.<br />
<br />
How did you react to Otto and his tongue?[/spoiler] -
Otto is nuts!!<br />
[spoiler]<br />
I like Bobby's character, similarly Happy & OP in that they just 'fit' whereas Jax, that big newbie, Juice and a couple others just dont quite pull it off.<br />
<br />
Yeah Jax probably thinks he wants out, but he and Tara are both spiralling out of control.<br />
<br />
Nero is a cool character![/spoiler] -

dafidodils - can't remember where I got that from - it was an intentional spelling, but whenever anyone says or spells daffodils, I hear or say [i]dafidodils[/i]!<br />

Is this a cryptic reference to Richard Briers? -

I was going to mention Black Mirror too DK - good innit?<br />
<br />
The other two episodes of the six made (2 series of 3) that really made an impact on me are called "White Bear" and "The Entire History of You".<br />
<br />
If you can see these shows, they're worth it. They give you that wondering/pondering feeling hours after watching them.<br />
<br />
<br />
Agree DK, that Princess kidnapping story was gripping viewing. Uncomfortably realistic -
Keep meaning to get Banshee off my brother.<br />
<br />
Also started Elementary (American Sherlock) and the Sherlock character is as amusing and infuriating as the recent BBC series and the Movies.<br />
<br />
Still watching and enjoying Person of Interest and Arrow as well, also have the new JUstified to watch, and counting down GOT! -
Now Banshee has finished (and set up really well for Series 2). I have a gap in my viewing schedule. I hear 'Hunted' (also from Cinemax) is worth watching. Anyone else seen it?<br />
<br />
Having a read around it looks like Banshee really started to connect in the second half of the season and with Cinemax's quite open policy to making episodes available freely, plus all of the ancillary stuff they have on their website, it looks like they have finally got a the show they were after. Ant Starr is going to come out of this really well I reckon. -
4 eps into Banshee, and am quite enjoying it, bit of a guilty pleasure, like most series you could pick holes if you chose to, but sometimes it is nice to just sit back and enjoy the ride.<br />
<br />
Also enjoying The Following, although just how far reaching the 'following' is, is a little unbelievalble and pissed me off, particularly a week or 2 back, otherwise series is good with great acting.<br />

The Red Wedding is coming!! -

"top of the lake" directed by Jane Campion is coming to our screens (UKTV) this week, has anyone seen it and is it worth watching?<br />
[/quote]<br />
<br />
Hadnt seen it before but gave first episode a go. Will continue on based on that. -
I watched it last night.<br />
<br />
Was good but my concern is how they will manage to cram all the happenings in book 3 into 10 episodes and doing it justice. <br />
<br />
If they can pull this off Mr Martin best pull finger for book 6!
