Brody being elevated as a VP candidate seems a little bit rushed and away from the realism vibe of the show. This isn't 1780.

So my newest lady friend was apparently an extra in last night's episode. Says Claire Danes is one serious lady IRL.

You're talking about a party who gave the VP nod to Sarah Palin. Do you really think the GOP would hesitate to give the nod to a returning hero, who had been a POW, if he was a good looking guy, with a beautiful family? Hell... they'd crown him king.
As for the show, digging Season 2 more than Season 1.
Are you kidding me bro? This season has been a snowball of shit ever since that snot nosed brat ran over the coon. This past Sunday's episode was the final nail in the coffin. Quinn executing Brody is the only thing short of Morena Baccarin sitting on my face that can save this show.
In one episode, Carrie gets kidnapped, Saul is brought in for questioning for no reason whatsoever, Dana continues to gurn and grimace like an adolescent cunt, the hajibs hack the VP's pacemaker, with the finale witnessing Carrie returning to the warehouse to get Aladdin before help arrives. I'm just waiting for Jack Bauer to repel from the rafters. I can't say that I'm surprised that this show went to utter shite, taking the writing staff under consideration. But taking in to account, that said team claimed that their vision for a realistic counter-terrorist drama was impeded by the powers to be at Fox, one can only conclude that they were full of shit. I'm going to close out the season by watching the last two eps, but I'm calling it a day after that. Die Brody Die!
Saul, Quinn, Kumte Kente, and Mike can carry the load. Fuck Brody ! The show has lost its edge, who the hell is writing this shit, Seth McFarlane?
Sons of Anarchy, Dexter, Rescue Me, and now Crapland. I can't manage to finish a show in it's entirety before it shark jumps nowadays. Too much, too soon, catering to the masses urgency for instant gratification.
Furthermore, I'd let 08 Sarah Palin femjack in my cherrios. Good day sir! Mods delete this thread, this show sucks nig cock.
i liked the pacing and character development of the 1st Season better myself ... this season is just moving too fast somehow ... at least some episodes do. this last one was really bad ... but I blame the director (there are different directors for each episode) ...
the pacemaker scene was laughable ...
and Dana and that subplot ... why?

I'm not sure that would save the show. As a matter of fact, I'm guessing that if Morena Baccarin was sitting on your face, you'd watch a whole lot less TV.
Carrie returning was annoying. But it's also consistent with her character.
SoA is having its finest season, and Dexter has been awesome.
As a general rule, you want to break women down into two distinct groups: those who you'd let femjack into your breakfast cereal and those who you'd let run your country... and never the twain shall meet.

I haven't watched the current season of Dexter, but the previous season was all right terrible that I just stopped watching that show, the first 4(or 5?) seasons were amazing.
Homeland has been utter crap, and i'm with RIA on finishing this season and giving up. It wins the best new TV show over Boss, and my boy Frasier still gets no respect! Superior writing, more interesting imo and has some sort of realism to it. I am trying to figure out if this show is more about giving props to the CIA's mission than anything else.
And who would believe anyone would love Claire Danes over Brody's super fine wife? I mean come on!

Last year's season finale was da bomb.
Watched all of season one, and the first few episodes of season two, and then my interest waned. I'll probably get to them at some point. Despite the fact that I like Kelsey Grammar, I find that show less than compelling.
Claire Danes is just flat out busted. Brody's wife is somewhat odd for me. From some angles I find her stunning, from others, not so much.
Last season leading in to first few episodes of this season was the show's high point. Then they went ahead and killed one of the saving graces of the show for absolutely no damn reason whatsoever. Opie's lost his wife, his pops, and now gets raped Gangnam style all for shock. I thought the season of the club flying to Ireland was bad, oh boy. So let me get this straight, Pope can set your daughter on fire in turn for running over his daughter, and you're perfectly cool with an arrangement in running drugs for him? On top of that, you have Katey Sagal's horrible over-acting, Tara fingering herself over the recollection of Otto fapping, and Clay ordering home invasions in some convolution I can't even comment to in length because I've long since tuned out. Fucking hell man, I hear Justified is a good show, I may turn there. (After it's off the air, as every show seems to fail the longer is goes.)
Sons is damn joke, nowhere near the caliber of that of The Shield.
P.S Always Sunny in Philadelphia is goat damn abomination as well.

I avoided reading/commenting on this before I saw the season finale, in case there was a comment in it that would have been a spoiler.

Definitely the worst season.
They were between a rock and a hard place, and I thought this story arc made complete sense. The way they handled it in the season finale was awesome.
As for Clay... watch the rest of the season. They really know how to write endings.
Justified is excellent. Season 1 starts a bit uneven, but they've really hit their stride since. That said, I put it behind Sons.
The Shield was an excellent show, but was far from perfect. Personally, I think Sons is a better show.
This. A thousand times this. The League, which follows Sunny, is awesome.P.S Always Sunny in Philadelphia is goat damn abomination as well.

Yeah... Carrie continuing to go after Nazir after she's dropped her gun. Carrie just walking in to question Roya, despite the fact that she's not even a CIA employee (she was wearing a Visitor badge), and no one stopping her. The idea that a crazy woman is the only competent member of the CIA... except for Saul, who's being drummed out for knowing too much.
still don't know what was the point of that subplot with Dana/VP son/hit and run? ... didn't go anywhere, not that it should have.
also, looks like the Brody fam might be written out of next season?!?! ... I know Lewis is signed on for S3 ... hope it gets back to basics.
looks like the "Americans" will have to carry out some plot. Who will Brody "recruit"?

I'm not sure what those basics would be. The show was about a CIA agent chasing a suspected terrorist, and keeping the audience in suspense as to where his true allegiances lie. That CIA agent is no longer a CIA agent, the terrorist is no longer a terrorist, and the two of them are in love. I really have no idea where they go from here.
