We finished Homeland season two. Lots of people think the show went off the rails in these episodes and that season two isn't as good as season one. First of all, what is? That's an incredibly high bar. Second, the show is still great. Season two was riveting, fast-paced, and risk taking. We loved the surprising finale. Brody was found out by Saul in EPISODE TWO. He became a different person. In the penultimate episode, they killed Abu Nazir.

Gossip Girl's identity makes no sense

But hey, at least Blair and Chuck ended up together.

The show went off the rails for the first time this season in the episode where Dexter abandoned his code. He really thought that his Dark Passenger wasn't him? We thought he at least knew it was a part of him. Dexter, as a scientific adult, seeing his urge as a separate entity doesn't make full sense for us. What Hannah said didn't seem like enough to convince Dexter to abandon the code. It wasn't explained well enough.

Scandal- season 2, episodes 7-9

This season of Scandal has been a joy from start to finish. We don't even mind that they shot Hot President. He's gonna live. There have been so many twists and turns this season that we're tempted to call it The New Vampire Diaries, since the old, regular Vampire Diaries has decided to shell out no surprises this season. Yawn. We hope so much that Mellie is involved in the shooting. She didn't want to get out of the car, remember? It seems like she might know something. Trying to kill your husband is definitely a good enough reason for him to ask for a divorce.
