  • Homeland

    Did anyone catch this after Dexter last night? First episode was pretty good. It was more like watching a movie than a televisioin series. Clare Danes is still pretty hot.

    I did. I thought it was an awesome series premiere. Really liked it and hoping it doesn't suck. Will watch it next week too.

    And you are right CJ, it does feel like a movie.

      Showtime is beckoning to me once more like it does every Fall with Inside the NFL and Dexter. I decided to hold off this year because Dexter was not great last year and Showtime is utterly worthless besides Dexter and Inside the NFL. But Homeland got some great reviews, I might have to reconsider.
      Part of it is based on academic grounds. Among major conferences, the Pac-10 is the best academically, largely because of Stanford, Cal and UCLA. “Colorado is on a par with Oregon,” he said. “Utah isn’t even in the picture.”

        Here is the first episode for those without Showtime:

        Watching it now, it is intriguing. Clare Danes gets better as time goes by. She pops up in strange places. I thought she was great in Stardust.

          Thumbs up so far. I liked it as well. Good acting, interesting plot. It reminds me a bit of the fiction book 'Secret Soldier' about an operative deep in Afghanastan and what happened to him when he came back to America.

          I will be watching to see how the show progresses.

            Just finished the premier. I liked it, but the previews for upcoming episodes looked even better. In the dvr rotation for sure.

              I loved it.

              I started to develop a nervous feeling in the pit of my stomach as the show progressed. That is a good sign that I will be drawn in.

              Good script, great cast.

                I will keep watching it.

                It kind of bothers me how much they are ripping of The Manchurian Candidate plot so far, but still looks like it will be worth watching.

                  BYU was mentioned during the episode tonight.

                    it was? I watched it twice... well, wasn't really paying attention b/c I was socializing w a group of friends after our sunday night Dexter viewing and Showtime played Homeland, Dexter, & Homeland again before I bounced. What was the reference?

                      I bet you did watch it twice.

                          That was a hint at where you should go back for one more look. Purely for research purposes of course.
