What? Nobody watches Homeland?

<p>Yes, Mandy Patinkin. I thought I was a Clare Danes fan. Not so much.</p>

<p>Not sure why there is so much Dana hate.</p>

<p>If it wasn’t for her Brody would have killed a lot of people including some important government officials.</p>

<p>Then he wouldn’t have been able to fall in love with Carrie and had a baby together and become a character that for some strange reason people seem to like.</p>

<p>I had to look up Mandy Patkinkin because I had never heard the name. I didn’t realize Saul was actually an actor. I thought he was real. I guess that shows how good of an actor Mandy is.</p>

<p>Oh razor, surely you’ve seen the Princess Bride? And Inigo Montoya?</p>

<p>If not, go watch it right now!</p>

<p>I loved him in Chicago Hope. </p>

<p>Of course, he also does this - very well. </p>

<p>Anyone remember him in Yentl opposite Barbra Streisand ?</p>

<p>He first came to my attention with his “impromptu” performances on Letterman in the '80s: <a href=“Mandy Patinkin Rockabye your baby - YouTube”>Mandy Patinkin Rockabye your baby - YouTube;

<p>He’s best known to many of us as a Broadway singer: he was Che in Evita and Seurat in *Sunday in the Park with George<a href=“cartera’s%20YouTube%20link”>/i</a>, among many others.</p>

<p>Yes, I think of him first and foremost as a Broadway star. He made the crossover astonishingly well. I’m not a fan of television crime shows but if I had to watch one, it would probably be Criminal Minds because of him. </p>

<p>Yentl - ughhh - I blocked that one out.</p>

<p>I thought perhaps they rigged the execution, in order to give credibility to the guy they had planted in the leadership. The baby makes it complicated, but I did have the impression Carrie is just biding her time.</p>

<p>My kids got me into Homeland this fall. I know I will need to catch up on prior seasons, however, I feel the past 2 episodes have “jumped the shark”. </p>

<p>Does anyone agree?</p>

<p>Oh oh. I have only seen the first 3 episodes this year. I haven’t seen the last 2. Nj2011mom, you aren’t leaving a good impression about the show. :)</p>

<p>I thought Brody was the most interesting character so…well I do like Mandy…</p>

<p>I have not been able to bring myself to watch the new season with Brody gone. Am waiting to hear lots of people say it’s great before I give it a go.</p>

<p>You are already too deep into the program to drop it now.
Plenty of cringing, me yelling at the screen, looking at scenes through my fingers and it is only 5 episodes in…
Ugh, Carrie.</p>

<p>Was enjoying this season until the cringe worthy last two episodes. Anyone see Joyce Wadler’s hilarious column (spoiler alert!) in the NY Times about her BFF, Carrie Matthison? <a href=“Carrie Mathison of ‘Homeland’, My Former BFF - The New York Times”>The New York Times - Breaking News, US News, World News and Videos;

<p>2 minutes of WHHAAATTT face until it came crashing down.</p>

<p>Snookered, but worth it to this viewer.</p>

<p>One thing about Homeland, it never panders to the viewer’s desire for Carrie to soften up and be a nice girl.</p>

<p>I was so shocked by Brody’s presence because they were so adamant that he was off the show… yes, he still technically is, and it was just a cameo appearance, but they made such a big deal by saying he was done. I was very confused!</p>

<p>Baby daddy hallucination was part of her adverse reaction to the drug switcheroo.</p>

<p>Did they switch a drug, or did they just place a placebo powder in the capsules? I kept thinking if they just used a placebo powder, then no one would be able to determine why she’s acting as she is, if they eventually hospitalized her and did a drug screen. A drug screen would not show anything in her system so they would chalk it up to a major bipolar episode. If they substituted another drug in the capsule and she took it, when she got to a hospital, they’d drug test her and find the drug - then she’d know someone was after her. </p>

<p>If she’s bipolar and her mood stabilizer was suddenly taken away, it could explain the hallucinations, etc.</p>
