The Homeland pilot was really, really good.

I DVR'd the 'Pilot', will watch sometime tonight when I have nothing better to do.

I really need to watch Homeland - I've got the first season downloaded but there's so much other stuff I'm still trying to catch up on

The first season is FAR superior than the second season, IMO. The entire first season leaves you guessing as to what Brody is really up to, then you get a resolution, but then things aren't what they seem.

In the second season, you pretty much know what Brody is doing, then the season finale leaves you wondering if Brody did or didn't do something.

I'm being vague so to not spoil, but yea the first season would have pissed me off if I actually had to watch every week. I busted out the two seasons in like 4 days.

Cool. I've heard that Season 1 is better than two, but I've heard that 2 is pretty good too. Thanks for not spoiling anything. I'm gonna start watching it soon

Two is good, but the whole allure of the show, at least IMO, was wondering if this POW turned into a terrorist either on his own, or by brainwashing. Then you are given an answer to that question at the later end of season one.

Once you find out what is going on, I wouldn't say I lost interest, but it lost a lot of allure after that.

I'm looking forward to season three, anyone who has seen the season two finale knows what I mean when I say what the hell are they going to do in this show now?

Missed this last night, but if this is online (Hulu perhaps?), I definitely will check it out tonight.

I don't think Hulu gets FX shows, but it's been ripped and is on P2P and torrent sites if you are familiar at all with those... plus I'm sure FX will re-air it at some point before episode 2 airs

That was alright. It relied on music too much (the Phil Collins bit was awful), and I have a feeling the kids will become a nuisance, a la Homeland. Premise is enough to keep me watching.

[thursday727]

Was pretty good.

Is Kerri Russell's character American or Russain? Sounded like she had no accent in the promo.

She's a Russian operative undercover as an American citizen.

I'll probably try to watch the entire episode tomorrow.

It got a lot better. I thought it was just okay at first but once the episode was over, I loved it.

You haven't even watched it yet and you're questioning the tone. I thought it was pretty dark.
