I enjoyed last night's episode and liked it more than the premiere overall. Each Dana scene just brought the whole show to a halt, but still didn't ruin the episode for me. The only scene with her I liked was after she got home. I thought everything else about this episode was good though. Claire Danes did a fantastic job, as always, and I am really liking the Quinn character. Brody returns next week!

"Brody should have blown up at the end of the first season along with the bomb he was wearing. That would’ve sent a clear message that the show was willing to take chances, and it would’ve removed the training wheels that is Brody. By keeping him around, the show has never had to really figure itself out."

Really? It completely killed the episode for me. Seemed like more than half of the episode was about Dana. No one gives a shit about Dana and her boyfriend. Dana is approaching Kim Bauer territory from '24'.

I expected it after the premiere, but I agree her scenes were slow, worthless, and boring. Hopefully the rest of the season's episodes have less Dana and family now that Brody is returning to the show.

Yeah, the Dana scenes spoiled the second episode for me. I liked the scene in the bathroom when she got home but the rest were a bit of a waste.
Also, I think Claire Danes is always really close to overacting as Carrie. I find myself being annoyed by her as often as I am impressed to be honest. Maybe that's what makes it a good performance but Carrie is too over the top to be believable sometimes

I must be the only one that does not mind the dana scenes and the fallout of the brody mess and how it changed their family. I likedthe dana scenes, the peter scenes, and the new girl on the cia team a lot.
The carrie stuff was annoying to me. :?

the Brody family stuff isn't bothering me.. it's interesting to see how it effects them.. the Dana sex scene was weird to watch because she looks really young...
the crazy Carrie stuff was great in the first season but now it just feels like we're watching the same thing over and over with her..

Yeah i agree i kind of thought they could have conveyed the same point about dana and her buddy in a different way. It was kind of creepy.

Another episode that was just kind of "blah". Not sure where they are going with this season. I'll continue to watch, but definitely don't get as excited as I used to for this show.

I liked the held-against-their-will parallel between Carrie's & Brody's situations, but yeah...last night's was worthy of just a "meh" from me.

Oh yeah, I completely get what they were trying to do there but I was just so bored throughout the entire episode.
Wow, that was depressing. I am hoping that Brody and Carrie are bottoming out and things will look up. I'd like to see the CIA chasing some terrorists, not dwell further on Carrie and Brody in their respective hells.
I did like the comment about Brody being like a cockroach - people die all around him yet he keeps going on. He sure has created a lot of fallout (and I think the first two episodes were important in showing the devastation wreaked on his family AND Carrie)

Good thing about episode 3 - no Dana/Brody family this week
Bad thing about episode 3 - Brody isn't Jack Bauer. He sneaked out and had a shower before getting caught and beaten up again. Jack would have killed his captors, escaped, got caught again, been beaten half to death, escaped again, finished building the tower block and rescued Carrie all before the sun set!

yeah pretty boring.
this is probably a stupid question, but why are these guys not cashing in on the $10,000,000 bounty? i know the head dude said they know carrie. so what? are they doing her a favor? i couldn't figure that out.
...
and how the hell did he get to venezuela anyway?
I guess this is a question to be answered sometime this season. maybe brody went there from Canada knowing theres no extradition agreement between the US and Venezuela... and then got his silly arse shot in a bon jovi moment. *shrugs*

That head guy must owe Carrie something big, like his life or a family member's life, for them to be keeping Brody alive instead of collecting $10 mil

Is it me, or has this show jumped the shark? This first 3 episodes have been a complete snoozefest. I'm not invested in any of it. I'm all for character development, but c'mon Homeland, can something interesting please happen soon? Masters of Sex deserves a better lead in.

someone wants carrie out of the way. why?
I haven't quite got a handle on saul yet. he seems to be acting in carries interest by getting her family to commit her.. but then he also does shit that is detrimental to her that contributes to her 'breaks in reality'.

I read an interview with the showrunner where he said they intentionally wanted to start off slower due to complaints about season 2. I actually liked season 2. Parts of it reminded of 24, but I loved 24. Homeland also lost 3 of its writers this year. I haven't seen the latest episode, but I thought hte first 2 episodes were okay. Just okay isn't enough to get me excited about the next episodes though. I'll keep with it this season to see where they go. I still have faith that they know what they are doing. Disappointed to hear that people felt that the most recent episode was boring. I'll catch it later this week.

Yeah, those are uncomfortable scenes to watch. Claire Danes plays a great nut job.
Way, way, way too much Dana. It was funny reading all the comments on twitter last night.

The injection scene was reminiscent of MacMurphy getting zapped in Cuckoo's Nest...as in, I cringed.
