If everyone thought like that, there'd be no pay tv, and all we'd get is the crap on network tv.
Yes good for me.

I love this show, but I'm not forking over $15+ a month to get the channel for it.
Superchannel also has Sons of Anarchy and Boss. Outside of those three shows, I rarely use those channels.

Claire Danes was great in tonight's episode.

Solid episode tonight.

I also now know how to jack a car without a jack, thank you Damian Lewis.

I started the episode pretty mad because I thought they were pulling some Deus Ex Machina bull#### with that smart card. I should know to trust these writers by now.

Pretty good episode, needed some Morena Baccarin love scene action though

My favorite line in a while (from a reviewer):

Almost any other show and I would have lost it there, but I trust these writers enough that I waited to see what would happen. I wonder if the other SD card had a copy on it to make the guy think they had the video?

Also, I think Claire Daines may have locked up another Emmy tonight. The scene where she goes home is freaking amazing

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deus_ex_machina

Quote:
A deus ex machina Latin: "god from the machine"; plural: dei ex machina) is a plot device whereby a seemingly unsolvable problem is suddenly and abruptly solved with the contrived and unexpected intervention of some new event, character, ability, or object. It can be roughly translated as "God made it happen," with no further explanation, and, depending on usage, is primarily used to move the story forward when the writer has "painted himself into a corner" and sees no other way out.

More so if Saul hadn't made a copy of it. They knew the CIA took it, and they knew Saul was CIA, so it would make sense that they would come looking for it.

After hearing it won best drama at the Emmy's and Claire Danes won, I started watching as well.

I just finished season 1 and it was really good. Have to get caught up on season 2 now.

It's like that every week though.

A part of me wants to wait the 8 weeks until all the episodes have aired so I can watch them all back-to-back on a Sunday.

I don't think one human can possess that much self-control though.

Only a comma will prevent me from watching Homeland.
