I find I'm totally into the story when the Brodie story arc in on and not really into it when the Carrie story kicks in. And I'm completley disinterested with all the teen drama crap. Brodie is the show. The rest are supporting characters IMO.

Dana needs to go, maybe she can have a suicide pact with loverboy or something.

The Dana storyline is killing the show. Total filler.

I used to feel the same way after a season of the Wire when what were central characters were slowly transitioned out for new ones. I'm fine with Brody taking a backseat - I much prefer the Saul, Carrie, and Quinn angles. I like the espionage more.

Alright now that's more like it, I just caught up watching the last two episodes off my PVR and they were by far the best two this season. Of course i still FF through the teen romance parts but i honestly did not see the Carrie/Sal twist coming so it made for some great TV and it totally makes sense after i thought about it.
Carrie wanted nothing more then to try and make amends for the Langley bombing so i could not figure out why she was so out of the loop in this seasons first episode but its clear to me now. I want to see more of Quinn, Carrie and Sal so I believe/hope that this really starts the rest of the season on a nonstop CIA/spy thrill ride.

Dana in "trouble" is a perfect reason for Brody to re-appear in the USA. How else would you get him to risk everything to go back? His daughter is in trouble! The stories must be told to progress and build the characters positions and reasoning. Man some of you are sounding like a bunch of whining ignorant prima donnas.
Whine whine whine. Go back to the 80's and watch that entertainment.

^ Season 1 set the bar very high and drew me in. Season 2 was a little disappointing but okay. So far, season 3 has been mostly disappointing. Maybe it's whining to want the show to return to it's original excellent quality that I initially enjoyed, maybe not. Now if you'll excuse me, Love Boat is on!

Except Brody wouldn't even know that Dana was in trouble.

Well, until that part of the story gets told.

Jessica Brody will not be wining any mother of the year awards, huh. Is it just me or did she put up no fight whatsoever? Does Angela live nearby? How does she contact her daughter? What a weird storyline that has become.

She clearly doesn't even know who that girl is, yet she doesn't even ask for the girl's phone number? No questions to when Dana plans to come back?
The show has its holes for sure, but I keep watching...
So, I guess that terrorist guy basically did what he did as a last minute eff you to Saul? His only path forward was to help Saul, so get in what he can before he does?

I hope that was a clumsy way to be rid of Dana. I never want to see that character again.

It's getting to be time to accept that Homeland will never live up to what it could have been. It's still a decent watch, I won't bail on it like I did with The Killing and Sons of Anarchy.

Brody being written out of the show has been a huge mistake. Deleting your main character for almost an entire season is something only The Wire's writers could pull off successfully.
I hope to Christ that the daughter is really gone. That whole storyline was just filler from beginning to end.
Who knocked up Carrie? The dude she slept with when she needed a place to stay for a night? Why hasn't she had an abortion yet? It isn't like the baby belongs to Brody. What was up with the drawer full of positive pregnancy tests? Ten isn't enough for her?

Writing Brody out would have been fine if they just moved back into the next CIA/Terrorism bad guy storyline.
They seemed scared to commit and now this is what is left.

The actress who plays Dana sounds like her nose is permanently congested. Annoying enough for me to hope she's gone for a long time.

Mcnulty was far from the main character of the show. When he got a lot of scenes in the early seasons, he was hardly the soul of that show like a normal main character is. Baltimore was the main character of The Wire.

Agreed, sick of it. She is possibly the dumbest, most selfish, annoying TV character in a long time. It is ruining the show.

*SPOILERS
I am so glad i stuck with this season, last weeks episode was truly amazing and back to form. Saul is a bad ass and did exactly what i wanted him to, did not see that killing spree coming and hopefully Dina moving out means she is no longer on the show.
Very much looking forward to next Sunday's episode to watch the interrogation, hopefully they get some answers to the CIA bombing and maybe even clear Brodie name, that would be cool.
