    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.

    Brody :mrgreen:

    very slow episode..
    "...Dimitri...He talks to me...'.."The Ghost of Greece..".
    "..That's One Happy Fuckin Ghost.."
    “..That came up on the Pillow Case...This is for the Greek, With Our Apologies.....”

    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.
