Eyebros?

Yeah, favorite moment. I wonder how often they had to re-take that for it to turn out straight-faced. If it was. I don't remember, I was laughing too hard. I'd be on the set all day.

To the contrary…it's the best intro of any of the new shows I watched…

Still better than Johnny Depp in his underpants.

I have no clue how Addy constantly shows up in The House, but I didn't think she was a ghost until now. There is probably a trap door underneath Violet's bed. Or a way to get in through the basement or through a huge plot hole.
Constance is most likely not a ghost.

Also, no mayonnaise.

I even gave it a B+. Best episode so far. I reserve the A- for next week's Tim Minear episode.

Yeah, loved it, too! It was exactly the right length, the right delivery and the right tone. Felt like oldschool Supernatural. In league with the Eye Of The Tiger bonus scene.

(Sorry. I moved this into another thread, then tried to delete it from ehre by erasing everything in the edit and now it seems it's still there, but sometimes empty, sometimes not…)

Air Supply scene: solid A
ending: D-
rest: B+
total: B+

That can be a joy, but this show lost the right to use that trope.
Now we can watch how  "Dreary El Deano tries to out-emo The Ginormomope again, some more" (courtesy of TWOP).

"To me the Leviathans are the same as the demons and whatnot, essentially. It's like a Commodore 64 game where you get to level 2 and you get the same sprites you did on level 1 but in different color."
Nice analogy. I feel the same way. I don't see anything special about them in human form.

Air Supply scene: solid A
ending: D-
rest: B+
total: B+

Yeah, a beautiful corpse she was.

I also dislike Ashley, not because of her behavior, but her gullible character. Mainly, because she likes Tyler who is so clearly a douchebag (and then some) that I cannot fathom how anyone cannot see that in him the second he opens his mouth. She is just a dumb character the way she is written. 
But that's just setup

It's the "if I can't have you, nobody will" kind of attraction, I think.

No, I think that Amanda has popped up here and there too much for Emily to be completely ruthless.
I also got the impression that the reviewer is misreading that scene with Nolan. Emily cares, but she tries to look bad-ass in front of Nolan and not showing off her Amanda side too much, such that he keeps being afraid

Her moment with Saul was the exact opposite of this scene. It was spontaneous and clearly something she hated to resort to, therefore more unpleasant than merely awkward.

"Just the weird happy family front they put up even when they are alone seems so overly fake."
Have you seen deleted scenes, already? I'd rather say, the opposite is true. I haven't seen them all together in one room when they are between themselves.

Those scenes are both the good and the bad thing about Homeland. They keep it ambiguous. But this technique becomes ever more obvious with each episode, which in turn spoils the whole idea a bit for me…
Like shooting the buck in this episode was obvious, already. Yet, it was supposed to be a twist for those who didn't
