This pilot went up streaming for preview with a TV-14 edit a few weeks back, and I really liked it.  It's kind of like 24 with swearing, sex, and a hell of a lot more focus.  It's still a war on terror show with a slightly nuts protagonist going after a mole outside of proper channels but the slow burn of premium drama puts a good shine on it.  Claire Danes is pretty good and Damian Lewis is excellent.  I couldn't quite recognize the POW's wife for a bit, but it's Inara from Firefly.

At any rate, it's the only new drama from this fall that I can say with certainty I'll be following.

In one respect, I'm glad the writers killed off nearly every secondary character. The show was in danger of writing itself into a hole, at least this way they have the chance to start new again and create spectacular television ala season one.

pretty sure they said it was abu nazirs plan and he sacrificed himself to catch them off guard. saul definitely isnt a terrorist anyway lol

8 months. Jheeze. Anyway; who believes Saul is behind it? I have to watch the finalé again to remind me what hinted to me that it could be but that was my thinking after watching. Taking into consideration that the show loves to throw an odd ball every now and again, I think that would be a brave and bold direction to move in.

edit: also, it just being new terrorists seems way too simple and reminds me of 24's seasons.

Spoiler: finale and season two musings

Highlight this box with your cursor to read the spoiler text.

I really enjoyed the first few episodes of this season, particularly Q&A which is one of the best episodes the show has ever done. The back half was just filled with stuff that bugged me and i hate how ridiculous everything got.

Nazir entering the states with a shaved beard and playing hide and seek with a crazy CIA lady in an abandoned warehouse in a scene that wouldn't have been out of place in a shit horror flick was mental. I'm also not a fan of the Brody/Carrie relationship when they are just professing their undying love for each other all the time. Some of the dialogue, which is normally the shows strength, was really jarring as well (Quinn's 'i kill bad guys' speech and Dana's 'our friendship is dead just like that woman we hit with your benz' chat with the VP's son).

Everything with Saul was pretty much golden throughout though, i'm glad it looks like he'll have a major role in season three having being forced to the sidelines a little in recent episodes. His scenes, as well as the news showing Brody's video (which was a great 'oh shit' moment), got me through that finale.

I much preferred the more understated season one, but i'm sure the writers said in an interview they were hoping to get back to that next year, so i'm cautiously optimistic.

a bit of a ramble but whatever.

With a stretch of episodes firmly leveling my expectations, that finale was clear to blow them out of the water.

Spoiler:

Highlight this box with your cursor to read the spoiler text.

There isn't really a new antagonist in the show besides this unnamed new face delivering the message on the news. And right now, there's no antagonist in the main setting of the show. Brody is now a wronged hero who was framed for this attack that came out of the blue.

Not necessarily that into the love angle, though it doesn't make or break the show for me like it might for some.

I prefer season one to this season despite a lot of killer episodes due to filler in specifically 203, 206, 207 & 208 (last ssn was never that weak even when it was developing its world). It's in full 24 mode but that's surprisingly not the worst thing in the world considering 24 had its stretch of good years. I'll be back again with it next year, again with no idea where they'll go.

Can't believe this season has been getting criticism, it's been brilliant, easily one of the best shows on TV.

Why was the rest of the season not as good as that?
I mean it's gone full blown ridiculous now and will unlikely return to being in any way sane but if you're gonna do mental do it like that.

Spoiler: ep 12

Highlight this box with your cursor to read the spoiler text.

Can't help but feel that killing off David Harewood isn't the smartest of moves, him and Saul were easily the best actors on it and them two acting off each other could save any episode from being dull.

Anyway, brilliant ending to a good season. Looking forward hesitantly to the next season, can't help but feel it's gonna start on a decline but the writers are good so we'll see.

I thought Homeland went out at like 10 in America? Two in the morning here would be 9 eastern time, surely?
