You have to hand it to the writers. Any show content on cliche or resting on its laural would have made "Will Brody be Discovered?" or "The Surveillance of Brody" season long arcs; here, they're single episodes.

With the way things are going I hope the can sustain the pace they're going at with 8 or so episodes to go. Every show ends in a season finale like way. What an awesome show!

Anyone else enjoying the Dana Brody storyline or character? She's a great young actress and I'm going to be feel real bad for her when her world gets crushed.

Yeah, usually I hate the kids in these shows, but she's not bad because she's quiet, intelligent and not all emotional and full of angst live kids in shows usually are.

Thought that was going to last the entire season... Great episode. Kerry going off script and going for it was amazing.

Haha, funny you should say that. My wife and I roll our eyes every time she's on screen because we find her so annoying.

She'd be fine in any show that wasn't as brilliant as Homeland. The whole teen love triangles is horribly weak compared to the main goings-on.

This is why I loved the first season so much. It wasn't quite like is has been for season 2, but they follow almost no cliches and that is why the show is so great.

When season 1 ended I had no idea how they could bring it back for a second season, now it is coming back for a 3rd season (which I'm super happy about) and I have no idea how they can even get to a third season. We're 4 episodes in and all hell has broken lose for Brody.

If this season continues to keep the same pace I think this season will go down as one of the best seasons of television ever.

I felt the same way. It wasn't a "they shouldn't bring it back" feeling, it's a how the hell are going to bring these characters back after everything they've been through the first season and make it just as good.

They've done a great job so far.

I felt an honest feeling of redemption for Claire Dane's character when she found out the truth about Brody this season. That is how strong the writing is.

You realize that Dana is the daughter, yes? And she's probably 18 years old in real life AT BEST.

Hey if you're under 18, my bad.

What series has the balls to bring its main focus to a "final" conclusion in the first three episodes of the second season? Watching this last episode I was thinking....now what are they going to do? Then I was thinking, I can't wait to find out.

The only other show that has done something like this is Twin Peaks. I have a feeling this is going to turn out much better.

I actually thought the show took a pretty major turn towards the cliche'd tonight and it worries me a bit. The whole double agent and Dana event is a little sketchy.

Dana event was a bit much and unnecessary, but I liked the Brody turn last night. Interested to see how it plays out.
