I guess by now everyone is used to the idea of a totally bipolar CIA operative.

It is just a show... OK? Entertaining, even if full of holes. Borderline comedy.

Being "just a show" isn't an excuse for getting away with poor writing - Road Warrior 19:46:14 12/22/14 (9)
There're examples out there of TV shows hanging in there thoughout their run with excellent, well done, believable seasons. The Wire comes immediately to mind. I don't think there was a weak season from beginning to end. Rome was another as was Deadwood (inexcusably prematurely aborted by HBO). Add in the Breaking Bad to the mix and you've got 4 shows that were great from day 1 to day "n" and were more than "just a show", which apparently Homeland, with so much initial promise, is deigned to be :(

Anyway, the season wasn't a bust, it just could have been so much more...
IMHO and all that crapola :)

- Oh, common! Breaking Bad good writing? - Victor Khomenko 19:52:27 12/22/14 (8)
  In reality I never take these shows seriously, just as a plug entertainment, while having nothing better to watch.
  - LOL, I knew you had reservations about BB! but I really enjoyed the storytelling and moral dilemmas^ - Road Warrior 21:19:31 12/22/14 (7)

    - Looks more like a comedy or errors :-) - Victor Khomenko 06:17:31 12/23/14 (6)
      Which is OK, it is just an entertainment, after all.
      
      Watching the Season 1 right after the forth makes for an interesting comparison. There is definitely a maturity that the is missing at the start, it is more angular, the 4 is far more polished. It was funny to see the "weird brother Max" I forgot where it came from, he sure looks funny in the beginning. "And what does Max think?" "Max thinks Brody's wife is hot!"

        trying to rouse tin out of his TV slumber! Despite her good work in Homeland, she will forever be known as Anna, the Lizard Queen or Inara, the Companion Girl

        ...season one the best.
        
        IMO she's the hottest chick to get naked on cable this past few years.
        
        Although this is the only show I watch, they're shared others with me.
        
        Like the young Amish chick from Banshee.
        
        Actually, she is Italian... but who cares? :) - Victor Khomenko 07:39:59 12/23/14 (3)

        It is interesting to see the difference between her and Danes - who absolutely refuses to show her breasts. I suspect once she saw what Morena had to offer, she realized she could not compete.
        
        You are correct sir. Being born in Brazil does not equate to being Brazilian - Road Warrior 11:12:46 12/23/14 (0)

        I should learn to read more than the first line at Wikipedia. Her being of Italian lineage explains her disturbingly hot look. I say "disturbingly" in a very good way!

        If Danes could find them maybe she would show them! Her acting is exceptional but her body not so much.
        
        Yea, they have similar body types, but Morena was blessed with excellently proportioned twins. ^ - Road Warrior 11:07:19 12/23/14 (0)
