The Killing was solid, not sure why you gave up on that one.

I binge watched all 3 seasons in about a week. Really enjoyed the whole series and definitely recommend it to people.

No Brody family equals great episode.

Wasn't a fan of the very convenient neighbour security cam and the fact that it only caught one of them going in. Lazy writing.

Rest of the episode I thought was pretty solid.

I thought it was good but kinda slow. The show has lost its edge for me, I'm only watching now because I'm invested.

Pretty entertaining episode. But it's definitely turning into a different show. It's 24 with less yelling and more swearing.

The lack of Brody is just so odd to me... win the Emmy for Best Actor then get thrown under the bus by your own show?

I found the last 2 episodes pretty good. I still have faith that this will end a LOT better than it started.

I'd prefer that a show stick to a vision that was good instead of alter itself to cater to opinion.

I get the feeling they're in 'making it up as we go' territory right now. Don't think it has anything to do with a vision. Just my opinion.

Season 1 - Topless Jessica Brody a few times. Great season.
Season 2 - We only see her topless once. Season not as good as first.
Season 3 - Very little Jessica Brody - Rough start to the season. Lots of complainers.

Coincidence?

That's exactly what I'm referencing. Brody was supposed to blow himself up in the bunker with the Vice President. They changed their mind on it because of audience reaction to Carrie and Brody. They caved and have never recovered.

She was pregnant - some of you kids would crap your pants if you saw lactating titties.

Yep. Season 1 wasn't great because of her nudity. It was just a great show.

For those of us who have watched Breaking Bad we know that disposing a body with acid in a bathtub does not work.

Very good episode. Season 3 is quickly making up for lost ground.

Homeland is back! I feel like the last few episodes have been fantastic... thank god that the stupid Twilight story line is (hopefully) over with. It added nothing to the story, and frankly, just got in the way.

Good episode! Brodie's scene with Dana sort of justifies the screen time given to Dana this season (still probably too much), but it did allow for Dana's reaction in the scene to be believable.

Brodie's Rocky moment was cool too, watching him train with the team to get in game shape.

Less teenager love story and more covert spy missions is a good thing for next week's episode in Iran.

I think Dana had gone through enough to justify being scarred, without having to make us suffer through the first half of this season. Brodie was already a huge enough let down in her eyes to want to commit suicide.

But yeah, good episode. His recovery felt a little rushed, but I guess they have to move things along because of all the time they wasted earlier in the season. Note to writers... anytime you want to write in a teen love story and your audience isn't teens, don't do it. You're just wasting time and everyone hates teenagers.

So the senator hired the boyfriend of Saul's wife to bug the house.
Was the fact that he was an agent just a coincidence? Saul's wife has been seeing this guy for a long time, but the senator needing info only popped up recently. Doesn't really make sense to me.

Also, he should be punished.

I think we're going to find out that Saul has some ulterior motives for sending Javadi and Brody to Iran.
This season has gone by quickly for me.
I can't believe there's only 3 episodes left.
