What timing for Scott to ring his wife out of the blue and I'm not surprised she had moved on but Carrie suspicions about a soldier being turned and having his house wired for video and sound should be interesting

I really like the first episode and you right the timing of the call was amusing but i liked that we don't know whether he's a good guy or a bad guy and i can't wait for the next episode.

this episode was interesting with the new asset. And Brody starting to prey in arabic may support Carrie's theory, too bad she doesn't have any footage.

The new assets was good sideline story-line but doing a naked women interview was rather odd too see i never really seen that on a tv show and i loved how she wasn't uncomfortable but that guy just standing must been difficult as an actor. I have feeling new assets new task is going get her killed

That was a strange interview and needing a wax for the prince is taking the interview over the top and it looked like Carrie had forgot about the asset but what she discovered will probably get the asset killed

Well i love how daughter told her mom off she was right and look on her face when she said it was great. I had feeling the female asset would get killed but not in way i expected it was killed for necklace so that guy could buy a house ?

It's a shame that Carrie lied to the asset about the protection but even if there was it was too quick for anyone to stop it but finding out she was killed for the necklace was tragic

What was Carrie thinking go to the meeting where she accidently bump into him i thought better at keeping an eye on him without getting compromised but asking her partner to spy on her will be interesting.

Breaking: Showtime Renews Homeland



The suspected terrorists have won — and we’re not complaining: Showtime has picked up critical fave Homeland for a second season.

“Homeland is just getting started,” said Showtime president David Nevins. “Clearly, the overall audience growth from week one to week four demonstrates that this show is hitting a nerve in the cultural zeitgeist. Howard Gordon and Alex Gansa have created a psychological thriller that holds special relevance in the post 9/11 world. I’m quite confident that its passionate audience will be riveted as the season unfolds and people discover where this story is going.”

Jessica and Nicholas being groomed at the party was interesting but they suspected everyone was being too nice from the start which was amusing and how nice that they sat down and watched the end of the film with the kids, the team should of listened to Carrie when going after Walker and what did Brody mean it's over

Well it did look like Brody was part of the attack but now knowing that he's alive means he doesn't have to go through with it , remember he thought killing him made him feel guilty and now he's know he's alive guilt gone.

Brody asking Mike to help him talk Jessica around after being asked about running for the disgraced congressman's seat was ironic but at least he has come to terms with their affair thinking he was dead and Walker killing his Washington contact along with all the others was diabolical

That explosion did seem to make her hypo and if it's going to be anyone who believes her it will be Saul and Brody's history lesson when he took his family on a trip to Gettysburg was interesting but disappointed he used the trip to collect the vest, Dana getting nosy by looking to see what he hid in the car was unfortunate

That was obvious why Walker broke into that car but when the officer said something about working along made me think this was a team effort from the start but what a time for the vest to fail and I'm glad Dana got through to him, killing Walker to prove his loyalty and take away the loose link was great and poor Carrie with shock treatment

Well this was an extended episode and yeah it's good thing vest failed but if there was going second season it would pointless to kill him off since he's the star of the show. I really feel bad for Carrie since she was right all long but people think she's crazy but it's good thing she convinced the daughter to contact Brody. If there's going to be a second season this really set it up nicely.

OK, I checked this because I've been having issues with my sound.  I cannot for the life of me get the sound to play on this video, either here or on Youtube.  I tried a couple others from Showtime, and some played with sound and others didn't.  I can't figure out why it works on some and not on others.  Highly frustrating!  I mainly was checking the Homeland ones out to see how Claire looked post-pregnancy on the show.  

My speakers were on, and as I said, worked for some videos and not others.  Anyone have any suggestions?  I use a laptop PC with Win7.
