I mean, she was in the hospital for a while. It was at least a month or so. That's how I interpreted it.

I'm glad you enjoyed it. I didn't feel the first four episodes were useless at all. It's especially annoying because the biggest complaint about this season thus far has been the lack of direction and then when it's finally revealed that there WAS a direction it was going in this entire time everyone jumps on it for cheating the audience. So stupid.

Woo fourth season renewal!

Should i watch tonight's episode or just forget about this show already?

I thought it was great. The ending was incredibly intense. I don't see how anyone could complain about the final ten minutes or so.

Also Morgan Saylor was great in her scenes tonight. Haters be damned

ok I gave in.

Can I consider this the season premiere? this episode shows how shitty Homeland was before this.

It was a seriously great episode.

It's funny because the scene where Dana left with the cops took place in Syracuse (where I live) and it couldn't look less like Syracuse if it tried LOL

Oy @ all the theatrics over Dana Brody and her Terrible Boyfriend. I'm starting to become Over It, show. Although I did like the interesting dynamics at work in the scene between Carrie and Jessica.

Damian Lewis can't possibly be campaigned for lead actor this season, can he? He's only been in one episode.

The ending was very suspenseful. Can't wait to see what happens with Carrie and her Iranian contact.



Accurate location setting has never been a strong point of Homeland's. I live in northern Virginia, where the show predominantly takes place, and they do a pretty terrible job making it resemble the D.C. area.

I finally caught up and I'm liking this season so far. Ep 1 & 2 were a bit of a bore but I loved Tower of David and the ending of last night's episode was just fantastic.

Homeland is officially as bipolar as Carrie.

Tonight's episode was fucking awesome. The best of the season.

Are we even watching the same show?

all the build up for Carrie's plan and it lasts... 5 minutes? bitch plz.

I'm sorry if I can't call an incredibly tense, brutal hour with quite a few shocks and surprises as well as a Dana subplot that was actually believable and engaging mediocre.

I thought it was a good episode, but not one of the best or anything. It was mainly filler. I'm hoping that Dana is going to be MIA for awhile now.

Ya I'm hate watching the show now.

Lucky us.

I really liked last nights episode. It was great to see Danes finally not crying in an episode (was that the first one?) and the ending scene with Saul was just badass.

Yeah, it was a really good episode. Carrie's role on the inside was rather short lived, although I'm not sure how much they could've gotten out of that anyway. Mandy Patinkin is terrific this season...I feel like he has the case to submit himself as lead at the Emmys.

The scene where Javadi killed the women was very brutal.

I kinda can't believe they went there and made Carrie pregnant, though. Although, THANKFULLY, based on the timeline of the show...it's not Brody's baby. Has to be that rando she hooked up with a few episodes ago. Right? Or am I wrong? Ugh, Homeland, please don't make it Brody's baby.

He has a better shot at winning on the supporting category. But yes, he's kind of the lead now and at this point they shoulda just killed Brody in the finale. What's the point of bringing him back for one episode lol.

Brody's back and plays a big part in the last few episodes of the season.

All momentum the show picked up in the last few episodes was lost tonight because of how boring it was. Such a filler episode.

The pacing this season is...very deliberate. It seems very purposeful after the back half of season 2 had so many things going on at once.

Homeland is now not as good as show as it once was, but I'm still along for the ride.

I really liked last night's episode and thought it was a nice setup for the final stretch.

I'm in the same boat.

As for the episode, I liked it. Yes, it was very slow but I did enjoy what happened. I think Season 3 is pretty solid so far, but it's getting time for a Brody comeback.

I'm so happy that my once favorite show on the air has basically become a glorified soap opera. Thank god Masters of Sex is on after or Sunday night television would suck.
