Homeland Season Two

[MagicHero3]

I'm glad that we (barring something wacky) won't have to deal with the Carrie/Brody on-screen romance for a while. It's always felt off to me...never was really into it.

yeah it was definitley a forced kind of thing. the chemistry wasnt there. even Dex and Hanna had a more convincing relationship acting wise

Just caught up... great ****ing show. Not as good as BB but definitely up there. I have been interested throughout even though there have been a few smaller story-lines that haven't quite gotten me completely interested.

Carrie is great in that role and Saul has become one of my favorite tv characters of all time. Brody is definitely a well written character even if some of his scenes feel pretty awkward.

I'm not going to get into any specifics right now even though I just caught up with the show in a matter of 3 days haha...


I am very intrigued as to what will happen at the beginning of season 3. That season 2 finale was written brilliantly.

Spoiler (in white)

I really thought Saul was going to die. I never, not in a million years, thought that a bomb would blow up a majority of the major characters. That was absolutely insane. A genius move by nazir.

I just read the previous page and since nobody is using white font for spoilers, here we go:

The only reason I don't think it is Brody is because if Carrie hadn't walked away, he would not have gotten up and would have been blown up...

Unless you guys are under the belief that he was willing to kill himself. I don't believe hat though.

It was Estes!!!

[natepro]

It was Finn.

Dude can't quit killing people with cars.

[ManRamForPrez24]

I hope it isn't Finn.

But I bet it was Dana. Plot twist!

haha thats an m knight shamalan twist!

[long ball]

It was Finn.

haha that was decent

What an awful finale. How does a van get moved right next to the CIA building where Estes is standing? Security must have been incredibly high and nobody notices a car right next to the building? It's not like that was supposed to be a parking lot. That strains any belief or credibility. There's no way that could have happened.

The first half an hour was so slow and the last half was so forced.

I'm sure someone will tell me that I'm just complaining for the sake of it but it just doesn't make sense how a lone van with nobody in it is parked right beside the window where half of the officers of the CIA are and nobody notices it or thinks there's something strange about it. The CIA isn't that incompetent.

Did they mention why the President wasn't there? I figured he would want to be there considering that was all for the VP.

I cant argue with this. Im hoping some more information is leaked in the next episode to explain some of this, bc it seems way too cut and dry. I mean, Carrie is the one who gave Brody the "lets go" nod before the bomb blew, so that either means that Brody got lucky, or he was about to sacrifice himself for the bomb, or he is completely innocent. Cant wait to find out, but im pretty sure he knew about it.

The President thing has been bothering me a lot as well. Needless to say, if our CIA is really this awful, I am skurrred.

I'm not even going to ***** about realism at this point, every "real" show starts to loses its realism as it drags on. I guess that is one huge point for The Wire, even if McNulty's psuedo-killer was pretty sketch. Breaking Bad has even lost a lot of its realism.

It's pretty clear that this show was made without a gameplan past the first season, so whatever.

This, that relationship was forced to the point I could not even get on board with it.

I liked Hanna, but I still have a soft spot for her from the couple seasons of Chuck I watched.

[ManRamForPrez24]

I don't know...

A lot of what happened this season seamed "unrealistic" and a lot of this season bothered me, but the van didn't bother me. Maybe it was just the shock factor and the "oh my god" that clouded my ability to think about it, but I didn't care at all. It's a funeral, the CIA wasn't expecting any threats with Nazir dead, and they couldn't have expected that anything was going to happen. Would that be incredibly hard to pull off? Sure. Was the CIA perhaps slacking? Yeah. It's still a fictional show though, and that one didn't bother me. The point of Nazir dying, and the VP being killed, was so that this could all happen, so in that regard it makes sense. Loosen their sense of worry and attentiveness...catch them with their guard down.

I still enjoyed the finale. Some of it all might have been a cop out, but whatever. It worked.

What I liked is the planning, if it was infact Nazir's plan to sacrifice himself for that moment, then it is amazing. Good writing too, to build up a character just to be sacrificed. Most of us would not see it coming.

That did bother me too. If it was in a parking space that would be one thing but parked on the sidewalk or whatever it was, that is weird and somebody would have had to notice that.
