I really liked 24, so this doesn't sound so bad, but Carrie Mathison is no Jack Bauer.

Sadly, this whole point became true....RIP Homeland. What you were in Season 1 will be missed.

unfortunately it's not possible to know whether or not you like a particular episode until after you've already seen it. If only I knew when shows I otherwised like decided to turn in clunker episodes or strings of episodes before I bothered to watch them, I'd be all set.

I bet we'll see the exact same people saying this show is dead or has jumped the shark back here next Sunday breaking down the episode. Some people just like to complain.

I still think the show can be fine.Yes, they just had a gawd awful, terrible episode. But the show was in a great place only a few episodes ago, and I trust the writers to right the ship. The writing on this show is usually fantastic. Action really isn't their thing and they tried too much of it last night.Part of the problem with last night's episode was that Damian Lewis was completely exposed. He was terrible last night. Time for him to go anyway.They still have a decent chance to pull off these next couple episodes and start fresh next season with Carrie, Saul, and Dar Adal. That can work.Certainly, it could be a sign of the fall, but so far, every time they've teetered, they've made a nice comeback.

Would you rather the discussion be "OMG! Greatest episode yet!""goodposting""I agree. So awesome.""What about that part where...""Yes! That was my favorite part""I know, right?"

I don't think it's been particularly catty, at least not towards other posters
There's been a fair deal of sarcasm about the show itself,but I;m sure the show doesn't mind
I've been a big supporter throughout, but even I thought this week's was pretty crappy
Rather have some dissenting opinion, humor and commentary than a Homeland circle jerk
As far as predicting what is going to happen next, more often than not that sort of stuff ends up being more absurd than the show

I spent the last couple of weeks asking why everyone was complaining about this show. Now I see what everyone was talking about. That was brutal. I don't even care if it's plausible to kill someone's pacemaker with a password, it was just silly.
I'm gonna withhold judgment on whether Nazir running the show all by himself from a warehouse and being caught on camera is stupid, because it could be some part of his plan or whatever. But yeah, terrible episode. And I loved 24, but this show was supposed to be 24 for grown-ups.

Instead of making a big splash consistent with the m/o the show previously created for him, Nazir secretly kills the president via his pacemaker.

Agreed. Message boards are full of this. I don't like soccer but I'm not on all the boards and threads expressing how much it sucks. It's strange actually.

What you guys are missing is that the show was actually good once. Like not that long ago. That's why you still have people here. The season started with high hopes. You are being dense about this. And yaying up a bad show is more of a pathetic sewing circle than people critiquing a bizarre rapid disappearance of the elements that made the show good.

And what's the shelf life for this? Years? Yep. You'll see these same people here next year saying the same thing over and over. To look through the LOST thread. It's just strange the amount of torture people put themselves through on a weekly basis.

fans of sports teams often criticize the team, but still follow them.

Okay, but how many men sit in a salon complaining about a tv show?This thread is turning into that salon for some.

This salon line doesn't make you look very self-aware. Might want to reconsider.Anyway, yay away. There are others here who love it unconditionally and will engage you. Why are you so concerned with what others have to say anyway? Especially when they're at the salon and you are not?Okay, but how many men sit in a salon complaining about a tv show?This thread is turning into that salon for some.

Agreed. It enevitably happens in every show thread. Sopranos, LOST, The Walking Dead....(I could keep going) of threads about great shows that degenerate into a bunch of people whining/complaining about how good things used to be, the actors are either annoying or can't act, and how the writers (who were once brilliant) are all now stupid and/or must not even be trying anymore.Okay, but how many men sit in a salon complaining about a tv show?This thread is turning into that salon for some.

Complaining about men "sitting in a salon complaining about a tv show" is even more frivolous than complaining about the show. "Can you believe those guys going to the internet to complain about Homeland? How feminine is that? I went to the internet to complain about it to set them straight!"Not that we should buy into the sexist notion that men doing something is troubling because women do it... not that women are the only ones that sit around and complain about things (which in a way was your point)...Okay, but how many men sit in a salon complaining about a tv show?This thread is turning into that salon for some.

Real men only say positive things when they visit an internet message board to discuss a television show.

i would actually say that eps one through about 6 were some of the best TV i have ever seen. Its unfortunate the show went off the rails right after that, but you should for sure watch the first 6 eps of this season

Nice Greenwald piece at Grantland
He was there while they were filming 'Broken Hearts'.
Good stuff with Patinkin.
I also had no idea Danes was with child and decently far along.

Very curious to see what happens tonight.
I think they've usually bounced back after lackluster episodes. I'd normally expect them to right the ship, but I never expected they'd drop a stinker as bad as last week.

Nazir must have been hanging from the ceiling like a bat when the FBI guy was looking for him.
