As intense as this episode of Homeland was, it seems each time Carrie is in contact with Brody, they follow a painfully obvious chain of events that results in some sort of game-changing decision by Brody.
Much like any other episode that is Castiel-centric, A Little Slice Of Kevin makes up for the misstep Supernatural had last week - and the misstep Supernatural had last season.
What seemed like a filler episode with close to nothing being solved, Homeland might have just spoiled the turn of events that will bring it through to season 3. With the lagging thread of Dana's story finally rejoining the main plot, we see what the effect of her relationship with Finn has given us: a reason for Brody to turn once again. In arguably the most experimental episode yet, "The Clearing" is the start of Homeland's answer to the question of Brody's allegiance.
Homeland shows us that it doesn't need to rely on questions of allegiance or psychological trauma to keep us on the edge of our seats with our fists tightly clenched and our jaws wide open. In yet another episode that just keeps giving, not only are we hit with a major terrorist attack, but the slower threads to this story have finally begun to show their paths
Given that Supernatural has been sparse with its introduction of new characters and the fact that the only ones with actual "origin stories" are Dean and Sam, it was definitely a pleasure to see someone else get the treatment that even Castiel didn't get. However, it just never reached the point of us particularly caring for the predicament Benny found himself in.
With a flawless episode that will undoubtedly obliterate any competition, Homeland has given itself a slate as clean as day. Can we just hand Homeland, Claire Danes, and Damian Lewis next year's Emmys already? Seriously.
Insomniac has proven itself a juggernaut of a game company by developing critically-acclaimed titles, all with a trademark quirky sense of humor. In their latest venture, Insomniac has built a co-op shooter, Fuse, that is bound to leave its mark on the already popular genre.
In one of the more interesting methods of exploring a monster of the week episode, "Bitten" surprisingly and successfully captures the intimacy of found footage and the magic of Supernatural.
Just when we thought Homeland reached its breaking point in episode 2, episode 4 comes along and forces us to rethink what we're used to seeing with television.
