I love that I was asking a question about the longevity of Homeland's concept, and by simply referencing Lost, the discussion shifted completely into a condemnation/defense of the show. For the record I agree with Todd that season 5 was clearly the best of the shown, and by the latter half of season 3 Lost HAD stopped…

Dude, I don't give a shit about contrivances or coincidences and the roles they played in this episode. Between that last image of Carrie being shocked and her memories slipping away, Dana forcing her dad to promise he would come home (this episode made me love her character and she was the only one I truly disliked),…

I hope like Breaking Bad, though, there is a clear end date setup, or like when Lost got its shit together. Because from the interviews I have read, Gordon and Gansa are thinking very short term.

Ah fucking subjunctive rules…I been out of Spanish three years, so sue me!

Espero que sabes este fue un chiste…or as we say in America, chill the fuck out, lol.

Clearly you need to shop at Wal-Mart more…

Umm…donde esta el grado?

I find I it really funny that Once Upon A time has not been mentioned once (at least after skimming) in the comments. Nobody is debating that OUAT is "great." And I think that because it doesn't qualify as a hang-out show yet. I wouldn't mind hanging out in the "fucked-up, sell your soul for happiness" Fairy Tale…

I would agree that's an exception. I don't know, I didn't watch regularly, but whenever my family has sat me down to watch Criminal Minds I enjoyed him there.

In what in particular?

Agreed. I could see why someone might be like wow she is really trying for the Emmy here, but she pulls it off so well, and it never felt overdone with what we had known and seen of her so far. Lewis, Patinkin and Danes should submit this episode. Or maybe "The Weekend." Either way this episode put the nail in the…

Todd VanDerWerff, I laughed so hard at your stray observation about the dad's puzzle. Not sure why, but it was HILARIOUS.

"You burn down the storage unit?" "Oh, most definitely."

hahahaha, well played.

I didn't mind his second answer, the one about there being more than this. That was essentially what I thought he would say because it is very much the underlying idea of fairy-tales. I think of Belle, "There must be more than this provincial life!" His first answer got an audible groan from me though. I hate how much…

I think I hope that it is his kid because I sort of want to understand why Nazir is a terrorist. I understand, obviously, that his methods are atrocious, but I could get behind a guy who feels that America is so evil a place, one that could kill innocent children without a bit of remorse, that it must be taken down. I…

Ughhh, no it felt real on the show, but to have it be confirmed in real life…truly not cool.

I must be a sucker for small children, because I didn't think it was cheap at all. If that happened to me, and I was told the USA reported their deaths as propaganda, I might turn against that military/government.

I noticed this too. I personally like some of his come-ons for their sheer unabashed creepiness, but these more subtle sleaze jokes worked better. Maybe they are learning to use sparingly as Todd suggested?

Nice job bringing in the Eminem quote. That song is very backpack, but underrated among Em's greats.
