Re: Homeland: Season Two

That may have been one of the best episodes of TV I've seen in a long time.

Carrie is finally exonerated. I can't wait to see what happens next.

What will Saul do with this new found evidence?

Re: Homeland: Season Two

Wow I didn't expect to see a Game Changer like that at the end of Episode 2. I was expecting the video to surface probably by the end of episode 11.

I imagine Saul is going to keep this information to himself or just share with Carrie.

I know Homeland is just a TV show but the CIA uses Skype? lol, that's really secure. Brody had to give up his phone when he entered the CIA Building but he was able to bring it with him inside the Pentagon....

Having to wait a week between episodes is torture.

Re: Homeland: Season Two

I love waiting a week between shows. Watching them one after another doesn't let you digest anything, or build anticipation. Part of the show is waiting a week (or from season finale to premiere of next season) to see what happens next. If I watch them one after another, I become detached and it becomes a chore.

Just like with the last episode. You see Saul has now seen the Brody tape. You say "oh ****, wow, what the hell's gonna happen?" and you think about it for a week. If you have it all lined up, you just click the next episode and watch it. Not fun, not exciting. Kills it all, IMO.

Stupid Question but...

Spoiler

How did Saul get the Brodie tape? It was in Carrie's bag right? Did she grab it from the apartment, or did she have it in her bag from last season somehow?

Spoiler

Carrie grabbed it from the informant's home.

I was thinking earlier today that the tape will get lost/destroyed. Then when Saul tells David about it he won't believe Saul saw the tape and Saul ends up looking like he's protecting/helping Carrie. Kind of mellowed out on that idea the more I thought about it, but who knows.

It's certainly a different viewing experience watching it week to week as opposed to doing a viewing marathon. I remember glancing at an article this summer comparing viewing shows week to week or all in a row and deciding which way is better. I think it was at the AV Club.

Re: Homeland: Season Two

That last episode was intense... I always skip the previews for the next weeks episode so im going in fresh. Im glad that the cycle of some of these great tv shows are back on.

Re: Homeland: Season Two

Jeez. Damn good episode.

Re: Homeland: Season Two

Maybe I was expecting too much after last week, but last night was probably my least favorite episode so far. Whole episode felt like a giant time waster to me, to the point where I kept turning away and reading twitter instead of watching.

Re: Homeland: Season Two

They did a great job rehumanizing Brody's wife with the speech. The first two episodes she had seemed so unsympathetic, but it was good to be reminded of what she's had to go through.

I'm also glad that Saul didn't somehow lose the evidence or decide to sit on it, but is instead actually going to act on it. There's obviously no going back once that happens, but it also means the writers aren't holding back on the CIA finding out about Brody as a plot device to stretch things out.

It's not at the CIA yet, still plenty of time for it to become lost/destroyed somehow, which is what I think is going to happen.

Re: Homeland: Season Two

I don't think it was filler at all. Lots of development. Carrie's suicide attempt showing she's still incredibly unstable, Saul pulling some 24-**** (again) and doing the switcheroo with the SD card, the killing of the bomb-maker who's basically one of a few people who know about Brody, the failed marriage rearing its' head again and the doubts from Jessica growing, and of course, Carrie finding out that she was right about Brody.

Re: Homeland: Season Two

Just got caught up with the series. A couple things that annoy me. The story is great but I find the Claire Danes really annoying. The faces she makes when she's arguing or crying make me cringe like she's trying too hard. I also hate absolutely hate Brody's wife. The story is captivating but I think the acting (besides Saul and Brody) are not on the same level as Breaking Bad in my opinion.
