The season's storyline needed him to be something more than just a nut job passing through he needed to convey an actual sense of terror and to create genuine tension, so that Veronica's arrival and the implications of Rebecca's murder could have greater impact on the final season as a whole.

While it's easy to see how a serial killer plot line might have given Banshee an interesting edge to cut through the normal narrative rigmarole and difficulties of a final season, Bode and his horns just didn't quite manage to muster up anything outside of the usual unpleasant dreariness that goes hand-in-hand with such storylines. Had Bode done something more than simply consume a vast majority of the narrative real estate that should have been devoted to characters like Hood, Carrie, Job, Kai and definitely Sugar, there may have been some weight to the murder-filled storyline beyond the dark, surface-level aesthetics of one man bringing about so many unpleasant deaths. But for all of the time devoted to Bode, the storyline was just unable to reconcile itself with the many larger, more important themes running through the show over the course of its latter two fantastic seasons. With Bode eliminated in last week's bloody and much more Banshee-like hour, the show was able to find its footing for a solid and assured hour of television that didn't miss a beat or waste a minute of what precious time it had left. Finales are a tough business one that television doesn't often get right. There's a need to acknowledge all that has come before, while still servicing the uncertain future of many characters who will go on living well past the time we get to spend with them. And the Tropper-scripted final hour does a great job of servicing as many of those elements as possible, without leaning too hard on a sense of nostalgia.
