I want an hbo show with Cranston and Danes as leads.

I'd rather them in a sitcom by CBS.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

Can we agree that Crazy Bar Slut Carrie is Best Carrie?

bar none

 

[Tricky I Shadow]

People have been saying the show has peaked and is heading into 24 areas ever since the pilot.

Week in, week out, the show is still amazing.

THANK YOU!

Either Brody or the rest of his family better be dead by the end of this season.

Ugh, give it up. It’s not happening.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

I don't want Brody to die but I'm 100% for his family dying, or at least a member, possibly 2.

Preferably the wife. Then I can have even more Brody/Carrie.

 

[Zeliard]

Bawling Curled Up In Fetal Position Carrie is best Carrie

 

[AngryMoth]

I really enjoyed season 1 of Homeland but I was so soured by the ending that I haven't payed any attention to the new season yet. I have no idea how its being received, so I'm looking for a quick yay or nay on whether I should give it a shot.

Clearly the useless, terribly-acted, new son is gonna get offed.

it really is a no brainer thing to do, easy drama, no one loses anything of value (except brody llololol).

 

[kurahador]

^yay.

Ugh, give it up. It’s not happening.

Well...it is Carrie giving the safety assurance.

And we know what happen when she did that.

Definitely.

Oh shit, yeah. Anytime she gives someone an assurance, they get shot or blown up or something.

I don't know why people get soured by the season 1 ending.

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

I don't know why people get soured by the season 1 ending.

I was fine with it. Season 1 had a fantastic ending. And if it hadn't ended like that, we wouldn't have had this amazing episode between Carrie and Brody.

I find it hilarious that the only person that calls Brody by his first name is a murderous terrorist mastermind. It's just funny.

"Nicholas."

 

[Fry]

I think it was great casting on Abu Nazir. I look at him and think 'what a fucking boss'.

Wish we see more of him in the upcoming episodes.

Given how shitty HBO's current dramas are (outside of Treme of course), why?

HBO is pretty weak in terms of quality programming right now.

 

[MarauderShields]

At least they don't waste scenes on him. Kill Dana.

I thought you liked Enlightened?

Besides, the only shitty drama HBO has right now is The Newsroom. The others aren't "shitty" no matter how you can spin them!

[Incognito]

I think it's her weird grimaces that I find over-the-top sometimes.

as good as the show and danes are, i simply can not unsee Danes as anything but Temple Grandin.

maybe he wants to see cranstons dick?

It's because shows on hbo don't overstay their welcome (like dexter and probably homeland too).

Spoiler

yes please.

 

[Fry]

It's because shows on hbo don't overstay their welcome (like dexter and probably homeland too).

Because they get cancelled? lololololol

'Probably Homeland' that's rich. Dexter has been quality again this season, so who cares?

 

[BertramCooper]

Dexter has never been better than mediocre.

That it has heretofore been Showtime's signature show speaks to the overall quality of Showtime's programming.

 

[OldJadedGamer]

I can't stop thinking of Anna from V when looking at his wife so she should die.

 

[dead souls]

Boardwalk, True Blood, and Game of Thrones are all mediocre at best. From the channel that gave us The Wire, Deadwood, The Sopranos and Six Feet Under they are a joke. HBO has lost it in the drama department.

Enlightened does rule though and Veep is decent.

Have you not heard of Boardwalk Empire, or merely not yet seen it?

(Also, Game of Thrones)

Boardwalk, True Blood, and Game of Thrones are all mediocre at best.

Insert whichever "befuddled, shocked reaction" .gif you prefer

(Also, True Blood is kind of an acquired taste that is deliberately ridiculous and campy and if it's taken as it's intended - a comedy practically, it's a pretty good show.)

 

[The Dutch Slayer]

EDIT:
- Daily Beast: Showtime’s Thriller Gets Fact Checked by an Intelligence Expert

Now that was an awesome read! great stuff

 

[Salvadora]

Would it be possible for Carrie to just burst into that debrief and be like “Hey, you started without me!”?

Nelson: She wouldn’t be in that building unescorted, no matter what clearances she once had. Even if she did get away from her escort, doors are locked—you wouldn’t be able to move that freely around and walk into a room. That’s not a CIA thing, that’s a Department of Defense, DHS, anything. You can’t walk into the Pentagon, just open a door, and walk in.

That settles that then.

 

[Keen]

Amazing episode, but like others I cringed at the hit and run.

 

[RatskyWatsky]

Enlightened does rule though

*high five*

S3 spoiler:

Brody finally breaks down admitting to have doubled on the CIA and it's because "he is the only one to call me by my name!"

I'm guessing that was intentional for S1 though. First name basis means intimacy, and last name means distance. Most of the time anyway.

I didn't laugh one time during the whole first season. Each time I watched it, I wished I could get the time back.

Your opinions though, damn unfortunate.

 

[Wes]

I suggest watching The Thick of It instead.

 

[nhlducks35]

Amazing episode, but like others I cringed at the hit and run.

It did sound pretty painful

 

[Willkiller]

Yeah, why does Jessica call Brody 'Brody'?

WTF

 

[Zeliard]

Nicholas "Brody" Brody

 

[Solo]

Yeah, why does Jessica call Brody 'Brody'?

WTF

Nicknames, how do they work?

FYI 90% of the people I know refer to me as my last name.

 

[OldJadedGamer]

Nicknames, how do they work?

FYI 90% of the people I know refer to me as my last name.

Even your wife?

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

Everyone just refers to you as 'Bond'?

 

[Soyongdori]

I don't like the fact that he is now working for the CIA. I hope he betrays them and stick to seeking revenge for Issa.

 

[Extra Sauce]

Yeah, why does Jessica call Brody 'Brody'?

WTF

I've been wondering about that.

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

I don't like the fact that he is now working for the CIA. I hope he betrays them and stick to seeking revenge for Issa.

I bet he'll start playing both sides for something that only he's after. What if he figures out a way to take out Nazir and Walden?

 

[Soyongdori]

I bet he'll start playing both sides for something that only he's after. What if he figures out a way to take out Nazir and Walden?

But he has no reason to take out Nazir other than the fact that CIA is forcing him to cooperate with them to take him down.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

It's not that weird. Isn't it established they met when they were young or in school? If that's what everyone called him then, these things just stick.

But he has no reason to take out Nazir other than the fact that CIA is forcing him to cooperate with them to take him down.

well if nazir is planning on attack on america then Brody wouldn't want that. He already said no innocents.

 

[Soyongdori]

well if nazir is planning on attack on america then Brody wouldn't want that. He already said no innocents.

Then why did he save Nazir at the last minute during the CIA ambush? He already knew Nazir already had some kind of plan for attack on america, and yet he still saved him.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

Then why did he save Nazir at the last minute during the CIA ambush? He already knew Nazir already had some kind of plan for attack on america, and yet he still saved him.

because he is confused

 

[Fry]

I think his ultimate decision will be down on what he feels about Carrie.

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

But he has no reason to take out Nazir other than the fact that CIA is forcing him to cooperate with them to take him down.

He isn't willing to kill innocents.

Then why did he save Nazir at the last minute during the CIA ambush? He already knew Nazir already had some kind of plan for attack on america, and yet he still saved him.

Because he's still broken and semi-brainwashed. But I think the more time spent with Carrie, the more that will erode.

I get the feeling that there might be a twist where Nazir found out about the drone strike ahead of time and let it happen anyway in order to fully control Brody.
