Thoroughly enjoyed it also, but kinda agree with this. I stopped watching Homeland after 2 seasons. I just assume that Carrie has met up with Brody in Canada by now. Sometimes you just need to ignore the silly cliff hangers. As another example, no one should watch more than one season of 24.

I loved it, but agree that I'm not necessarily looking forward to next season.

Are we sure that was him?

Well, the internet told us about it. No wait, I told the AV Club, just this month:

Oh, and funny to me still to Kayla begging for more action action action! I'm starting to understand that even when she says "character development" she means revealing new secrets and action scenes. That seems like a shallow approach for this show. So I've been really appreciating the commentary from the readers.

As of this episode (I haven't seen further yet), Danny is certainly evil, but I don't see him trying to set up his family for destruction. Rather, his goal seems to be staying where he is, being in control finally. All of his interactions with his siblings (save perhaps beating Kevin — which seemed just like…

Agree. Thanks for these reviews. Better than the one-note whiny reviews above ("reveal more secrets why so boring")

Thanks for summarizing the review!

I think the disagreement with Kayla is that she doesn't like spending time in this world with these characters. That's fine. Plenty of us do. For example, the scene where the whole family was discussing the Kevin attack is delicious.

But that's the point — he is a lost soul. It would have been interesting to see how people would have reacted if the writers had entirely left out the Sarah backstory. I think people would have accepted the Danny character as simply an unstable/violent being. The characters happen in fiction — they even happen in…

Also, I just watched this episode, and do not remember that screencap.

Oh my…really tipped your hand there with that analysis. It's true that all the side characters in the show are thin (I'm only through this episode). But…Marco more developed than Belle? Totally false. We know what his job is, but he is otherwise a paper doll. No emotion, no motivation, no effect on any character…

Will be in my head now for the rest of the day.

You've both made strong arguments. I don't agree with Brad on the overall season (I enjoyed), but he's right here. The reason that line and the others like it stink is because they are so silly and grating. The fact that we are all still laughing at those lines is the evidence that they "don't work."

This review caused me to look up AJ Langer, to see what she's been in lately. Evidently she married royalty and lives in a castle. I guess I never really had a chance.

Agree 100%. 1 game a week makes my whole week better.

Well, I don't think Seinfeld knew that for a long time.

I don't know — Barney seemed a lot more cartoony to me. Always successful, for example, where Schmidt is definitely not. When Barney would get serious it seemed super fake. Schmidt has an actual underlying sense of security, always.
I've watched all of this show though, and maybe 25% of that one, fwiw.

And Ser Pounce also, please.
Those are pretty much the only shows I watch.

Dammit, I hope this is a true story. Even if not, it's beautiful.
