I tell you what Shapebaby, you post a picture of your "camping" kit; including your hairy ass balls (leave the gay bracelet in the picture so we know it is you), and I will then post a picture of my giant milk jugs. Quid pro quo.

Every week I think the next episode can't be as good as the one before but I was wrong again.

So, was it more dangerous for Brody getting taken away by Bin Laden's brother or being a lone ginger in niggerville?

BTW, Shape you have a photo to post. Take one for the team, we need milk jugs.

Must've been good, because it violated Photobucket's TOS.

I know! I was surprised Brody didn't say why and who he was really doing it....

Although my post was IGx appropriate, sadly photobucket didn't agree. Is there a better service out there that isn't so touchy on these things?

That last episode agitated the shit out of me...the fucking serial number shit. Use your fucking phone and take a pic of it for fucks sake.

What's really fucked with me head is the whole deal with Saul. Now that he knows they were going to just fucking kill Brody, unsanctioned, to keep their little drone strike fuckup a secret puts Estes in a bit of a quandry. Are they back on the mole hunt?

That little bit of dialogue between Saul and the black ops guy in the diner was pretty cool. The black ops guy says Saul is too soft and he's surprised he's lasted this long and Saul says something like "so am I." Awesome.

The VP's kid is behind the pacemaker box location, IMO. He's also unknowingly leading Abu Nazir's people to the safe house.

Interesting angle...but why would he conspire with the real world's equivalent of OBL to kill his dad? Sure he's a confused, coddled teenager but what's in it for him? His dad protected him and kept him from going to jail. I will ponder this though.

Doesn't know who's pulling the strings, just weak and stupid.

Okay, it just might be me but last night's episode demonstrates that the storyline is fraying around the edges just a bit. It's some of the details that are bugging me. I love Carrie's crazy/brilliant girl schtick but c'mon she's the only one that notices the hidden space? And Estes insisting that Brody be zapped...so much to lose so little to gain. If he's gonna kill Brody because of the drone strike then wouldn't he have to consider killing Saul, and Carrie since they're not keen on following his playbook? Doesn't Saul have a little ace up his sleeve i.e. doesn't he have some disc detailing the authorization for the drone strike? I was so jazzed up from this episode that subconsciously I somehow tied my scrotum in a knot. And when you've got three more joeys in your pouch than Lance that's really not cool.

Hey Homelanders you have got to go to this link and read these twitter posts. The little Arab guy on Parks and Recreation, Aziz Ansari is making hilarious posts as Brody. "Got interrogated by Carrie again today. Not gonna lie huge boner. The. Whole. Time."

And I love that Twitter account.

Well after that fucking crazy Dexter finale then this I was wired till past midnight. Didn't see any of that coming. Thought Quinn was awesome. Now what?

I wonder, just how difficult is it to write a show like this? For instance, how may episodes do you have? They were part-way into this season if I remember correctly when they got the go-ahead for a third season. Do you have an endpoint in sight or are you sorta writing as your going along?

Quinn is rad and I would expect his character to continue on in the future. It'll be interesting to see what happens.

And Saul. Saul....

I would guess that the writers have a chunk of potential endings to the series if they don't get the go-ahead, but I'm guessing on that one.

Dexter was kinda nutty. I knew last week that the thick Cuban was going down. Didn't expect that though.

I'm still trying to wrap my head around some of this.

And am I the only one who thought that Dexter's sister, and his ex-wife in real life, looked better this season than in the past? I don't think she's much to get excited about, but definitely pretty bangable this year, IMO.

Baff!! Get out of our head!!! The wife and I said basically the same thing...well the wife didn't mention anything about the banging part but yeah we both noticed she was more appealing. It may have just been her character more than anything but the camera did seem to play to her face more than usual. Of all the characters this season her's had the most depth...she really did have to act and display a much wider array of emotions than any of the others. She'll get nominated for an Emmy. I'll tell you who's definitely fuckable...that fucking little hottie of a babysitter. And I know my babysitters.

You, Shape and Mrs Shape, are probably my two favorite people I've never met.

In that last scene, you know before she killed that chick, I was thinking about butt sex.

The babysitter though... I'm glad you brought her up. She's fuckable for sure. Next season opens with she and Quinn doing something disgusting and pissing off Angel the newly retired cop-now restaurant owner, right?

No doubt about it...Quinn is gonna be knee deep in that ass expecially since his Chech stripper split. Ha! How 'bout that shit...both shows have a Quinn that's fucked up but very likeable.

I had shit so wrong on Dexter. After his sister crashed the car and he found the water bottle and had it tested, I was convinced that his sister drugged herself to make it look like Hannah did it did it knowing that he'd choose her over Hannah. And once Dexter figured it out I didn't think he'd kill his sister but he'd be very fucking pissed and when Dexter gets pissed people tend to disappear. I'm really getting the weird vibe that they're gonna start fucking...how crazy would that be?!?! When they both walk in together to Angel's party there was a definite feeling that they were truly bonded together.

Hey we're both definitely coming out that way again and I'll let you know and we'll all get together and get rowdy and kill a hooker or a hobo.

Wait, there's a fucking Quinn in Homeland and Dexter, and both get addressed by their last fucking names.. The one in Homeland is awesome, and the one in Dexter sucks.

Hey c'mon...give our Dexter Quinn a small break. He told that dude in the strip club he'd kill him if he hit his chick again and he fucking shot his ass right fucking there. How awesome was that? He's just a little fucked up and hey, IGx is a haven for guys with these types of issues. If you don't have some type of problem then something must be wrong with you.

Yes on the babysitter and yes, Deb looked better this year. A little more meat on the bones maybe or better camera angles.

I'll miss the "Ahn-hail"s though.

Homeland finale...Wow. Let an "Oh fuck" out when his video was on TV and the family was watching.

I think Dexter Quinn's kind of cool. He's not "the guy who kills bad guys" cool, but he's not a pussy or anything.

And he's going to bang the babysitter, so that's good.
