Strictly speaking discussing the teaser at the end isn't a spoiler. For me that is. I don't watch them personally. Switch over as soon as possible to avoid them. But the scenes have aired in the UK.

I think we're crossing different posts here . My initial objection was to a post last night talking about a youtube link which the member mentioned and made a comment about.
Now things have been explained I don't have a problem avoiding posts talking about the trailers .. from now on .

Not be the first time I've got my wires crossed.

Sooner or later someone is going to come in here and ruin it for everyone else. It happens time and time again. Since we're 1 episode behind the US you can tell people will be itching to come in this thread and reveal all. I'm trying to prevent that from happening, that's all.

I support your views completely!

I'm the same, I regard the "next week" bits at the end as spoilers and avoid at all costs - I'm even tetchy when I accidentally catch the brief spoilers before shows start (I don't know if they do this with Homeland as so far I've always managed to start the playbacks at the opening credits). Am I OCD about this?

I didn't even realise there was a trailer at the end of the show!

OCD? not much..

Some FMs are reporting their recordings are cutting off before the end. They definitely aren't being bothered by the ..coming next teasers.

Do you stick your fingers in your ears, close your eyes, and sing when the teasers come on.

I'd say not at all

What I find deeply irritating about Homeland is that Carrie is supposedly this utterly brilliant operative who's track record, instinct and intelligence is beyond reproach and again she's proven right regarding Brodie etc but the instant she does something off kilter or follows her instinct she's immediately treated like an idiot or unhinged hysteric.

The whole premis of Homeland, as enjoyable as it is as a piece of fantasy, is specious that a soldier is kept for 8 years with no ulterior motive as a hostage by jihadists, when it was even stated in episode one that if they're not found within 3 days they're dead. Only Carrie was the one to suspect Brodie and follow it through and Brodie's entrance into the upper echelons of politics was immediate.

The whole thing is hokey, albeit played by a brilliant cast who almost, almost make you forget the glaring plot holes.

Mercier could not agree more, that...and the lonely inevitable glass of wine/empty flat at the end

There's something wrong about a boy who looks like he does not even shave yet, driving around in a brand new BMW - he should be on a bicycle!

I assume this new school of Dana's is private - I don't see why she couldn't continue at her old school, they're still in the same house after all; I should think that many of our MPs send their kids to state schools.....

Um, Brody would not be taken out the front door of the hotel. Also, the face being covered was to make sure that the prisoner (or Brody) not see where he is being taken to.

I remember Zuleikha Robinson from the series Rome.

I love that when there is no rhyme or reason for an action, we assume one to fill in the hole

The CIA will want to keep Brody's arrest a secret. So Abu Nazir's operatives in the US don't go to ground. Aileen disappeared from the show when she gave up what she knew. That can't happen with Brody. He is the star of the show. Just hope we don't spend the rest of the season watching Brody get ETT as they try to get info out of him. The speed with which he has been outed certainly surprised me.

Brody's surprise birthday party won't cut it. Dexter already did that.

I know, it's only four episodes into the new new series! It's certainly moving fast.

I haven't watched Dexter - a surprise birthday party is genius

First season we thought Brody wasn't going to turn out to be a terrorist and he did, this season we thought he was going to be a terrorist but he's going to be a good guy.

Agree with many that the trait of ignoring procedure and implausible happening is perhaps necessary to move things along is relatively short seasons but it is unexpected the way that so much is being brought out, when more drama could remain with longer lines. The fear of Carrie not wanting to miss the opportunity is fair, but ignoring process and authority seems unlikely.

I doubt that. Neither side will trust him, he's already killed two people and would have killed Carrie.

You need to listen to the interview by the producers and Damian Lewis.

If you are expecting, or maybe hoping this show to provide high octane action constantly throughout every single episode, then you will be sadly disappointed. Although this show is produced by Alex Gansa who co-produced 24; this show offers something completely different. It allows room to breath and draws the viewer in.Whilst it does have it's similarities of becoming very intense & fast paced at times; it also allows you to understand the psychological aspects of each individual character. It allows the viewer to be drawn into the behavioural emotions & the political aspects. Well, in the first series in any case.

I would actually say that one of the main things that frustrated me about "24" (albeit, I loved the show) was the constant way the writing ran off the rails because the producers felt the need to rush through plotlines in order to throw in twists to please the viewers. It would appear that they may be going down the same path as 24 this season, pushing through plotlines in such a way that it's hard for them to pass the willing suspension of disbelief..

I loved the first series of Homeland because of the suspense during each episode, allowing the viewer to draw theories and analyse the way it was plotting together piece by piece.

It also frustrated me that Carrie who realizes what an asset Brody could be in leading the CIA to the other terrorist contacts, suddenly blows the whole mission and the entire terrorist network getting away because he 'made her'. That seemed a little forced and far-fetched. But, saying that - Carrie is a little unhinged and maybe we can put this down to her forgetting her meds.

I am kind of hoping that the need to somehow move the show forward in a way to create more 'action' doesn't ruin the shows direction and indentity..
