Homeland! It's almost time!

[Hassled]

Well, when I say almost what I mean is the 29th September in the US, and I think we were a week behind last series so early October - roll on the Autumn.

. One of the comments says that at the end Brodie says in Arabic "I am a muslim lost in this world..help me come clean again".

I CANNOT wait. I've missed Carrie so much. And Saul. Anyone sad enough to join me in the anticipation?

Season 3 is not gripping me at all. It should've ended after the first one.

It all seems a bit peripheral to me, as if the main story is going on somewhere else.

red country, joe abercrombie. kind of a fantasy-western. 47 pages in and there've been 3 kidnappings, 5 murders and an ill-conceived siege. And the inquisition have arrived.

see, homeland? Shit happening.

I've still got Season 5 of 24 to start watching on Netflix.

Crikey. Now THAT's what I call narrative drive...

(That was to Astro, not the writers of Homeland...)

Well it's picked up a bit.

It is all a bit bleak, isn't it?

SO bleak. So very, very, very bleak. If I wanted to feel suicidal I'd watch Breaking Bad.

I might just delete it. I hate wasting my viewing time when there's so much on Netflix I want to watch.

I'm expecting a big pay off next week. Not even any tension, just lots of people in and out of various prisons-psychological and physical.

aaargh, our bloody Sky box - what happened after Brody made it to the mosque?

I'm going to go to bed with a brew and watch Fringe on Netflix. Occasionally bleak then Walter Bishop pops up and farts while doing quantum mechanics in his head. That'll sort me out.

Oh keep the faith, the lot of you :o.

Ok yes - it was bloody bleak. Camp Drug Doctor scares the crap out of me. But skinny girl with an astonishing aptitude for picking up English will get Brody out, I'm almost sure.

Was Carrie's shady lawyer a Saul test, do you think?

Next week's episode looks better (at least the trailer appears that way).

Blu - imam dobbed him in ("you are not a Muslim, you are a terrorist"), police came, dodgy squatter gang shot police and imam and imam's wife. Brody now back in weird building, injecting himself with smack.

Isn't shady lawyer connected to the shady bankers that Saul and headscarf lady quizzed?

Well, that was dull. Could have been compressed into 5 minutes total, and spent the rest of the time on something interesting. Losing the will to watch. Don't actually care about either of the two characters either.

Brody can die next week and whats'er name the week after; gives two weeks to get some more interesting characters on board.

Keep thinking Brody looks a bit like Bruce Willis now.

So depressing. There was always lurve to keep us going before but there is nothing now.

Must be a Saul test.

God, they can't make Brody a heroin addict! Though it strikes interesting parallels between the State/CIA trying to keep Carrie down (through legalised meds) and a fringe group trying to keep Brody down (through very illegal means!) - both are screwed in the same way.

Blu, the Iman(?) shopped him to the police. They dragged him out of the shower and then the other baddies came and shot the police and the mosque leader and his wife.

They took Brody back to the tower and locked him in a room. Dr came and left heroin which he took.
