Luther Mahoney!

PenguinJoe

Who ever the Latina actress is that helps him might be one of the hottest women I've ever seen. No way Brody doesn't get it.

anomynous

Who is playing the doctor? Seems really familiar.

chuckd21

What the hell has happened to this show?

MrX

My thought exactly

Brian Gentz

No Saul and no Quinn will make a lackluster episode.

anomynous

A Season 3 heroin subplot? Never seen that before.




But yes, Brody's "girlfriend" is extremely boneriffic.

Dave99

I was thinking the same thing.

Geofferson

Really a departure of an episode. Not quite sure what to make of it just yet. This season continues to be uneven and a disappointment.

hdtv00

Yep hands down the worst episode in the entire series, just wow.

Decker

I almost miss the Dana storyline. That was a very unpleasant hour of TV.

I have no idea where this show is going this season, but it better get there in a damn hurry.

johnnysd

Put me in that club too. She was quite beautiful, and Brody acted like a complete self important prick as usual. Still like this show, but such a shadow of season 1. Don't even see the overall arc of the season yet. Did I miss something?

johnnysd

Random thing that only bothers me: people can "recover" for weeks or days in the movies or TV and have no facility to pee while unconcious or even when they wake up.

Decker

While we're talking realism here, how about this:
The guy in the mosque calls the police to say that the most wanted man in the world is in his temple and exactly two cops show up to get him.

Josh-da-man

Brody is trapped in an Eli Roth torture porn movie and Carrie is a Lifetime remake of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.

That, or they're going Neon Genesis Evangelion on us...

I have been defending this show to friends who have said its gone downhill after Season 1, and I can't defend it anymore. The creators really don't know where to take this show, and this reminds of me midway through the Soprano's 4th season where it just got dull and lacked any direction.

I am usually enthralled for all 60 minutes of every episode, but last night I was checking my twitter account on my phone the whole episode to see what people were saying about Homeland, and 99% of the tweets said this show has jumped the shark.

EddieMoney

So who is this Latina?

bootsy

Agreed and yeah I'm glad someone else feels the same way I do about the Sopranos after season 3 that show got stale. Redeemed itself during the last half of season 6.

dex14

It's because they feel like they need to stick with Brody as a main character. Yes the original concept of the show was, "was he turn or not?" But the show needs to move past that into new threats and characters. The writing is awful now.

mcnabb

I remember reading an interview with David Chase, and he originally wanted to do 4 seasons of the Soprano's, but HBO gave him 25 million to do a few more seasons, and you could see he didn't know where to take the show until the last season where he already mapped out the end of their character arcs.

Homeland is suffering the same fate, as they probably mapped out 1 or 2 seasons of the Brody plot, and once he was exposed they didn't have anything written after. In a sense, they probably should not have exposed him for another season or two as that was more interesting then post-exposed Brody.

Red Dog

It was tough to get through this one.

DaveNinja

Its like they just wanted a reason to show off that screwed up building.
I cant believe i wasted my "time for one show on sunday night" on this

Geofferson

Didn't think I'd say this, but I'm missing Dexter right about now.

hahn

Hmm, saw the first episode, but judging by the comments, I might save myself quite a few hours by not catching up.
