The show is great, but people are getting feelings hurt when someone criticizes it.

I think they are executing somethings poorly with Carrie. I mean, I still cannot get over her going back after Nazir with a fukking pipe. That shyt is so retarded, there is literally no explanation for her doing that. fukk bringing a knife to a gun fight, she gonna bring a pipe to one.

Her antics on the side of the road when Brody got lifted up in the helicopter... she disobeys direct orders every episode and they still letting her be so involved.

:what:

It's to the point where I just go :snoop: when Carrie is on some, "I'm not gonna do anything stupid Saul" for the 5th time.
Yall realize she's manic fukking depressive. And the bytch is in love. These ppl need their pill regularly on they act like coke heads. Even when they're on their meds their highs and lows are greater than normal people's. The bytch tried to kill herself when STDs left her out of the CIA meetings....meetings she had no right being in since she wasnt apart of the CIA:pachaha:.

The question yall should be asking is why the CIA doesn't force her to be with a partner/escort 24/7 if they plan on having her on board.

People keep tossing around the term "jump the shark" and it seems like they don't know the definition.

"Jumping the shark" basically means you tried to do some next level shyt which seemed cool at the time, but in hindsight it was a bad idea, and ultimately hurt your story.

If this show jumped the shark it was back in season 1 when Carrie had her nervous break down and was kicked out of the CIA. Which was :ohhh: at the time, but retarded in hindsight because here we are in season 2 with Carrie chasing terrorists with pipes wondering "how is this crazy bytch still working with the CIA?".

Which brings me to my next point. No critic said it jumped the shark last season, they were too busy praising it. I told people after the Emmys a lot of people thought it shouldn't have won. That's why they're so eager to toss it under the bus now. Which is bullshyt because they're the ones that built the show up in the first place.

I don't know where they're going with the story lines they have laid out, so I'll reserve final judgement of this season until it's over. Having said that, anyone who doesn't see a massive difference in this season, and season 1....from virtually every angle: plotting, pacing, characterization, etc....is blind.

Yea the show's def done a complete 180 from the first season. I was hating on all the emmys it got but then I watched season 1 and realized it deserved all of em. Season 2 is still great TV but lacking compared to the 1st. Should be interesting to see if it still gets as much love come awards time. The verdict's still out on the season overall depending how they finish it tho

First season was gonna be hard to top because concept wise it was so original.

Quality hasn't dipped at all though, with some of the best pacing I've ever seen. There's only been one down ep. every other one has been one crazy twist and turn after another.

And the acting is still really good so I don't see what others are seeing.

Man, this show just makes me mad now.......what a terrible fukking episode :smh:

Brody has been broken down and switched sides so many times it's impossible to have any feel for his motivations. The only way him snapping when the VP was dying makes sense is if he's been playing the US all along and was always working for Nazir.

Of course, if that's the case, then him being so hesitant to give Nazir the pacemaker code (:rudy: @ that plot point btw) despite Carrie being well out of earshot makes absolutely no sense.

Hopefully he dies, cause I don't think I want to watch another season like this...

I will say this.

Him wanting the VP dead could be totally independent of Nazir's plan for him. Keep in mind whether or not he's down with Nazir, he still loved Isa, and the VP is still a dikk head that ordered the deaths of innocent children.

As far as the pace maker, it's not :beli: that they used that, because it's technically possible believe it or not. It's :beli: because that shyt came outta nowhere, no build up, no mention prior to this ep, and on top of that it doesn't fit the MO of Nazir, which Carrie has always said is inflicting terror and the maximum amount of casualties possible.

I'm sure it's possible, but the idea that the code is just sitting in his office...and that Brody, a man who many in the CIA know tried to EXPLODE THE VICE PRESIDENT just a few months? ago, can just waltz into his office unrestricted is insane.....

I can see him still hating the VP...but the way the scene played out, from his reluctance to give out the code to being thrilled at him dying was just so haphazardly thrown together it lost me entirely.

I'm lost on some people who don't appreciate shows like Homeland and BB.

:what:

If you don't appreciate those two shows in all their greatest, what shows are the GOATs then?

The first season of Homeland is brilliant. The first 5-6 episodes were brilliant.

The last half of this season has been a DIFFERENT SHOW...and this last weeks episode was the worst of the series. It's still entertaining, but it's not the same show from season 1 anymore.

That's the exact same shyt I said, and even told people the precise reason why that is, and people still wanna act like there's no difference.
