Damn imagine how good this show would've been on HBO. Don't get me wrong, I think they've done a really great job with the budget they've had and the actors are mostly very solid, but can you imagine it with GoT-level visual effects and set design, and perhaps a couple of mid-to-big name actors? (particularly in place

It works yes, why would it be confusing though? Is it supposed to hint at future events? No Galactica flashbacks here, but it's been a while since I've seen it.

Also pretty surprised it took the reviewer this long to figure out that the blue stuff is alive and that the cold open was post-Canterbury getting blasted. I haven't read the books and suspected both things pretty much from the first episode.

Disagree about the pace, there's no need to just rush ahead and burn through plot for the sake of keeping it interesting and full of action and big wow moments.

I started off skeptical when seeing the title of the review, mainly I very much disagree with judging a show or movie by comparing it to the book it's based on.

And the prize for sound, intelligent decision-making in high pressure situations goes to: Gemma, who only set loose a homicidal maniac (who happens to be a semi-unstoppable beast) known for slaughtering inhumans… next to a dozen or so immobilized inhumans!

And can anybody please explain what the hell is going on with Quinn Ex Machina? Dude almost dies as a result of a *mole in his organisation* who was trying to get him to *assassinate his friend* for no apparent reason whatsoever, then heals up (by magically falling into the lap of an Islamist terrorist cell who he

Great review for the worst episode so far this season - only thing I disagree with in the review is about the show needing a villain, it doesn't. The best shows are those that don't necessarily portray everything in black and white, good vs. evil. But Homeland does need to be credible, and it has a habit of losing its
