showtime's Homeland =[a tolerable claire danes, mandy patinkin & that girl from firefly naked]

i kept hoping theyd throw us a bone re brodys phone not being tapped during conspiracy to assassinate the vice president video conference, like nasir was using snapchat or something

he was using skype I think

Had some yucks at the literally crying over spilt milk scene. And by yucks I mean guffaws.

i feel like the idea of estes as a hawkish, powermad cia agent, extragovernmentally ordering hits through a sense of duty, is quietly the most interesting premise this show has had for a while

the hole in the plot is that anyone would care that they killed some kids going after the #1 terrorist

feel like they couldve come up w a better scandal than that

idk, i'm always thrown by this show getting so much praise for being ~thoughtful~ & an antidote to 24 & for casting doubt on the ethics of ends justfying means, &c, with the bones getting thrown in that direction - usually by the blunt embrace of profiling by staff - seeming sorta obligatory or one-note. but estes being indignant & like "renegade" would be really interesting i think. way more room for table-thumping you can't handle the truth theatrics.

the weirdest thing to me was how the vice president dying, even if most people didn't know he was murdered, seemed like not that big a deal.

no i agree that its an interesting turn, just that the incident itself couldve been a lil more compelling xp

its just cause everyone in the world hates the vp and was hoping he would die

yeah but if that happened to Dick Cheney it would still be, y'know, a big deal

rip, the rock of coal inside his chest malfunctioned

they def couldve had a scene where everyone just ran around going HOLY SHIT

yeah, or some sense of the media frenzy

i guess it was all just portrayed from inside their bubble and we didnt see anyones immediate reaction carrie excepted but im sure the whole cia would be running around going holy shit for days not bothering to interrogate saul or w/e

so brody has to die next week, right?

also, was the show renewed for a third season? will they have a massive game changer? speculations?

i hope brody dies but maybe sauls gonna warn carrie

of course the show is being renewed and Brody isn't going anywhere

yeah pretty sure they're not going to kill off reigning Emmy winner and co-star of the show who is also the only tether to half the cast.

don't think we'll be seeing much if any of jess next season, given the long lingering shot of her walking back to the house

the downside of the awesomeness of burning through your plot is that you've burned through your plot.

the upside of making no sense is they can just make up a new plot.

yeah you need firm walls to paint yourself into a corner

maybe carrie n brody will go on the run

really the best would be if carrie and brodie died and saul became the start

mandy patinkin, holla

after resigning from the cia he opens a flower shop but really its a secret spy consultancy

Would much rather watch a full season of Mandy Patinkin working deep cover from a flower shop than see another frame of Brodie or his storyline. Also his wife. And kids.

i like the daughters attitude, maybe she could be his assistant

haha everyone i watch the show with HATES dana

the daughter is the most otm character in the show, also she dresses well

dana reminds me of hillary clinton

only a matter of time before she wears a houndstooth pantsuit beside veepspawn tennant

I like Dana, and Baccarin is underappreciated, but I REALLY hope Brody dies next week.

i feel like it's gonna be saul

i appreciate baccarin nudge nudge

if they take saul from us i think im out

there are an excess of brodies on the show, i could part with at least one

anytime Mandy Patinkin is on a show there is at least a 50% chance he will peace out and they have to write his character out of the show

there are an excess of brodies on the show, i could part with at least one

ice cold but i have to agree, i nominate chris because i don't think he can get a storyline otherwise

what. he has karate lessons. how is that not a storyline.

would LOVE to see a whole episode of just chris brody hanging out w/mike. TRUTH.

you want to watch chris play kuma wars and eat cereals while mike's biding his time waiting for chris' mom ?

lol @ me

The idea that Brody/Carrie love has suddenly become an all-important bit of emotional motivation in these past few eps is pretty hilarious.

you know why Brody liked Abu Nazir so much? Cos he's the only person who ever used his first name

so tonights got to end w carrie becoming the new brodie right, i mean he flipped her, they are their own terrorist cell now

plus when saul tells her theyre gonna kill brodie that pushes her further

why did brodie's wife call him brodie all the time? that really annoyed me. she NEVER called him Nick.

ha i read an interview of the creator w reader submitted questions today and he totally dodged the one abt how they werent tracking brodies phone but they did say that in their research of military culture they found that this was a not uncommon practice
