Homeland - New Showtime Series

It's entertaining so far, in a popcorn flick kind of way. I, however, fail to see how this series will continue onwards without stagnating and dragging on. At the rate the plot is unfolding, one would think this is merely a two part miniseries. It is also incidentally like the film 'Brothers' except with a conspiracy/CIA backdrop.

I'm a bit disappointed Carrie slept with Brody to be honest, seemed very unprofessional and like it could hinder her investigation further down the line. I'm not sure I believe the character would do that yet

She's a crazy bitch, have you not noticed yet?

Yeah I noticed but still, she seemed so driven to get him nailed.

She is driven on one side, but on the other side the crazy wants to break out. It's a good twist because now he has dirt on her. The have thrown some curveballs out there too with Saul bumbling through the polygraph but I think thats a red herring.

Yeah I like what they have done with it, they made it all very clear cut but at the same time manage to throw in a few hurdles in there to make it all interesting. What I am enjoying is that we don't have to sit through an hour of the show with basically no developments or payoff, it flows really well. Don't know if you watched it but the most recent series of Torchwood was a story that would have been maybe 3-4 hour longs stretched out in a 12 part hour long episode series with very little pay off or developments within the episodes. The reason I brought that up is because I just think it's a refreshing change to have a programme like this actually moving the plot along as opposed to dragging it out.

Just caught up, and although alcohol played a huge part, I thought it was odd she slept with him. I wasn't sure if it was deliberate her telling him what the test was for, if it was deliberate that was just stupid.

I was fucking pissed off when the Prince's 'girlfriend' was killed She was stunning.

Well, for one, I think it is because she desperately wants to catch him and will do so at all means necessary, even if it means sleeping with him to gain his trust. But then again, like some others have said, Carrie is batshit crazy.

didn't like the twist at the end. They seem to be throwing in a few red herrings to the plot. Not revealing things just so that they can add a new element to the show later.

I mean every single thing Carrie asked Brody at the end, we already knew it, the religion, killing Barkley, being helped by the terrorist. You think she'd have asked him something we didn't know, even a minor thing, but she didn't and then they just sprung the end twist out of nowhere.

Still, it's very good, I just hope they don't end up going down the route of The Killing with endless red herrings that lead nowhere.

We knew all that stuff but Carrie didn't, I thought the questions were fine. I really liked the twist though, but I still think Brody is turned and it wouldn't surprise me if they were both turned and working independently of each other without realising.

Was good stuff last episode. My theory after the last episode was that both were turned but not told about each other just incase one failed/both turned back. It seems that they let Tom know Brody was still kicking about which makes me think that Tom is their real go to guy. I liked seeing Brody in the guys house wanting answers, makes it more interesting now as he could go either way now (Stay turned or help the CIA).

Is Capitol Hill a target? Both Brody and Tom have looked at it in a weird way.

Was never fully convinced Brody wasn't turned anyway, they'd spent too much time developing the plot like that. Very good ending though, I wasn't expecting him to be in the chair, that's for sure.

I agree on Tom & Brody both being turned but not told about each other, or at least Brody wasn't told about Tom. I was never convinced Brody wasn't turned either, it's getting really interesting now. I'm really enjoying th pace it's moving at
