Homeland **SPOILERS**

[Otta]

I haven't started season 3 yet. By the end of season 2 I was basically thinking it was heading towards Lost territory, in that it had no idea where the Hell it was going!

[El Pibe]

Yeah, inclined to agree.

I think it's all to do with seeing if they get funding for another series or not.

If he'd blown himself up at the end of series one and it had finished there it would have been a permanent classic.

[Otta]

Yep, season 1 was great, and could have stood alone.

[El Pibe]

sums it up nicely

I commented on Saul's headscarf speech last night. It would have fit coming from David Estes, but it just seemed odd coming from Saul, like it had been put in there by a new writer who hadn't bothered to read the character summaries before cranking out the script.

I kind of got the head scarf outburst. Wasn't it to indicate that even the measured Saul was consumed with a fury that even the beard couldn't conceal?

I turn over whenever Brodie's family is on though

[El Pibe]

mmm, perhaps. It did also strike me that these days Langley is probably packed full of ladies with scarves and blokes with prayer mats, just like MI6 was once packed full of communists.

[Otta]

OMG Saul is Inigo Montoya!!!!!! I'd totally missed that.

Hello, my name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father, prepare to die!

[El Pibe]

Ha! Yes not immediately obvious.

I was racking my brain for first couple of episodes before going to IMDB. He instantly became favourite character.

[aquarius moon]

Had a lot going on at the weekend, so haven't even watched last nights episode yet......

All sounds very intriguing.

Looking forward to seeing it.

[the-e-dealer]

Maybe Saul's management technique is to give new staff a hard time for something random.

[El Pibe]

Minor improvements.

I liked the final line in the Indy review

"Her storyline this episode, in which she and her psychopathic love interest eloped, was reaching for Badlands, but ended up being more like Twilight.

Her mother Jessica wants a solution to her bad behaviour. For all our sakes, just pack her off to a school for delinquents somewhere far, far away. Morgan Saylor is a perfectly fine young actress, but I feel she's destined to forever be Homeland's Jar Jar Binks."

[steveo]

I bought a Tivo box with my Green Shield stamps so I could fast wind through the Twilight bits

[edcam]

I was hoping it would improve after last series being a bit of a let down but it's far, far worse. Think I'll be giving it a miss from now on.

[peachy]

24 was way better though

[aquarius moon]

Missed the first 10 mins.

Can someone fill me in please?

[Otta]

This season has for the most part been much better than the second. The reason being that Broadie has hardly beeb seen.

The latest episode he returns and it's immediately shit. They even had a Feckin montage of his return to fitness FFS!

Nir the actor's fault, but whenever the character pops up the writers turn it in to a stupid action movie.

[El Pibe]

are you ahead of channel 4 somehow?

Maybe he is.

The channel 4 episode where Brody & Carrie are reunited is being shown this coming Sunday.

[the-e-dealer]

Torrents!

[Otta]

You know it!

Anyway look out for the montage!

Despite critisising on a regular basis, you all continue to watch it.

That's dedication. ;-)

[Otta]

That Team America song is exactly what I was thinking of!

AQ it's fun and I enjoy a lot of it, but it is pretty stupid.

[the-e-dealer]

I'm worried now. Now Brody has done the deed and is standing over the body ringing Carrie and asking for extraction Is he mad . Can they extract? Is it part of a bigger plot?

[aquarius moon]

I thought last night's episode was the best of the series. Was on the edge of my seat!

Can't wait for the season finale next Sunday.
