Homeland

Holy short episode Batman!!

After the opening credits and episode recap, the actual episode was only like 43 minutes long.

Thought some of the Damian Lewis scenes were poorly acted tonight. His worried look wasn't all that convincing.

Thought it was a good episode tonight. Not at all timer or anything, but the story continues to move at a good pace and this Estes/Quinn side plot is intriguing.

While I enjoyed the episode, that was some seriously cartoony ####. Interesting to see where this goes assuming that Walden is in fact dead.

Spoiler!

So is Estes a mole? He is either going to end up helping Nazir, or has simply decided he's had enough of Saul and Carrie and is doing things his way. But that really doesn't explain why he has put up with Saul for all this time, then blows a gasket and tells Saul to go eff himself.

I also thought the acting was bad in a few places, but still, highly entertaining, damn they just had to end it right when Carrie walks through that door.

Thought it was a decent episode. The part with Carrie and Nassir was intense. His speech was solid.

Spoiler!

I missed something in the Estes thing. I get that he's probably a mole, but feel like I missed something there with his relation to both Quinn and Walden.

Also, Brody's sole motivation for killing the VP was to revenge the death of Isa (sic?), so now that he has taken care of that, what further motivation does he have to go forward? I can't believe there's only 2 episodes left

Im halfway through season 2.. Show is awesome. Is it me or the face Carrie makes when she is frustrated or upset ( for example when she was mad and started to cry in Brodys office after gettysburg) really creep you out. She just doesnt look normal? Sort of like this..

She has one of the ugliest cry faces I've ever seen.

I think it's brilliant that she let's herself get filmed looking so natural all the time.

My and friend and I always talk about Carrie's crying/mad face.

Quite possibly the most disturbing thing every seen.

That was an awful episode. The acting was atrocious and the whole "do you swear"? "I super-duper swear" thing was ridiculous.

Well that ended with a whimper.

^^Still one more to go. There's a couple more twists to come.

[d_phaneuf]

"do people call you the bear"

"I ******* hope not"

is the best line on television this year

[moon]

I can only remember Mandy Patkin from Criminal Minds and Homeland but he does play that smarter than you/don't give an f about you character well. It got annoying in Criminal Minds but is great here. That line as awesome and his story line seems almost more interesting/believable for a season 3.

I just don't see (or maybe dont want to see) how they carry a Brody/Cary plotline into another season.

[3 Justin 3]

I haven't seen episode 11 yet, going to wait so I can watch it with episode 12 next week, but I agree with Moon on the Brody/Carrie plot line.

It seems played out already, I like the dynamic between the characters, but there is nothing really new they are doing. It's always "Brody hates her, then they make up and f*** like monkeys".

Also, Mandy Patkin does an amazing job in this show, he has easily started to steal the show away from the other plot lines.

Good call.

Long time since I have watched that movie.

LOL

Patinkin doesn't tend to go beyond two seasons on tv series.

This is his fourth tv series, and he has never been a series regular beyond the second season. It will be interesting to see if he continues that trend here.

[Coys1882]

The only way I can see this show progressing now is that Brody had agreed to take the reigns from Nazir. The time they spent together could have all been a plan to get the CIA to relax - including letting them 'foil' their attempt at blowing up the people welcoming the troops back.

[TopChed]

This show is becoming like Lost to me. I don't particularly like it, I don't really like any of the characters, and all of the logical gaps bother me while I watch it. But I've come too far to quit now.
