Homeland beat out Mad Men, Game of Thrones, Boardwalk Empire, and Breaking Bad at the Emmys for best Drama Series

Yea, RH you convinced me to watch the show. It's pretty intriguing. My only real complaint is that most of America is not as intelligent as you all and so it just fuels the idea that Muslims run around trying to figure out ways to kill Americans.

Something about Brody's wife...She is a dime. I can't figure out why, something about her seductive look, or that her character is a whore. Not sure.

Yeah... I just can't justify continuing to watch "Revolution."

That show just sucks.

On a brighter note, did anyone watch the first episode of Vegas with Michael Chiklis? It looked ok, maybe. I have the pilot episode saved on my DVR, but haven't watched it yet.

Last Resort blows. Do not watch.

roundhouse wrote: Hahahaha, thanks! I DVR'ed it because I didn't know if it would be good or not. I definitely won't watch then and waste the time, I have plenty other things or movies on tap.

"Vegas" was ehhhhhh.

I dunno, I might give it one more episode though. Better than the idiotic "Revolution", at least. And "Last Resort" too, from what it sounds like. God, most network TV shows really suck ass, huh?

Apparently Vegas didn't do too well w/ ratings despite all the advertising and 2 big name actors. CBS usually doesn't cancel shows early though so who knows how long it will last.

roundhouse wrote: Gotcha. I wouldn't be surprised if it was cancelled.

Last Resort just doesn't make sense. The plot is so far out there that something quite extreme would have to do down for it to happen. I'd like to watch for a few episodes to see what the sneaky Marines are hiding but it's not worth it. It's just too unbelievable with random things happening mixed in with bad dialogue.

daddyfatsax wrote: Yeah, same thing with "Revolution." Waaaaaaaaaay too unrealistic and stupid. I've given up on that show as well.

Daddy are yo ustill watching Homeland? Oh man this week's episode was so awesome, especially the ending!

I always had suspicion that Saul is the mole, but I guess this pretty much puts that to rest.

YES YES YES. What great characters. See Breaking Bad fans, THIS is how you build characters. I am intrigued by almost all the characters. I must admit, I also thought Saul could be the mole. He's definitely not now. Oh man, what happens next, can't wait. No matter what happens, there needs to be an Estes-Brody fight scene. Estes might be the only dude who can handle him one on one.

And why did they stop having Brody's wife take her clothes off?

Probably because her and Brody don't have sex anymore after he freaked out on her in season 1

Oh man is that dude acting his ass off. That was a good scene. He is always pretty good.

Him and Saul are the best to me. Carrie's character is brilliant as well, I just can't relate to her. Estes' character reminds me of waaaaayyyy too much of Lieutenant Daniels from The Wire - unwaveringly solemn, stern, by-the book decision making to compensate for an unethical past...

Homeland was pretty ridiculous this week (not in a good way). I hope this is just an aberration and not the start of a trend.
