Homeland season two. September 30th. Love this image. This is my favorite TV drama currently airing along with Breaking Bad, with which it shares a few similarities (both shows are a few cuts above Mad Men, at least for me). Homeland is particularly interesting because the first season often felt like it slip off the rails at any given moment; however, it ultimately held itself together extremely well. 

They’ve also released a teaser trailer, but beware…it spoils almost every major revelation of the first season. On a related note, read my relatively spoiler-filled write-up of the first season here, with a focus on its geopolitical and ethical message (hint: it’s not at all what you’d expect at all from two of the dudes who wrote 24).

I originally typed up a giant post about how I enjoyed Terminator 3 for what it is—a fun, campy retread of the second movie—and how modern female action heroes are just the worst. Seriously. Where we once had Linda Hamilton castrating an entire audience of men with a mere glance (she’s a fucking terrifying/awesome force of nature in T2), we now have Kate Beckinsale clad in form-fitting leather for no apparent reason other than executives wanting to give the teenage boys in the audience jerk-off material for later.

Instead, I will mention two things which redeemed Terminator 3’s existence for me:

1) There is a scene where Claire Danes—with red hair, no less—firing an AK-47 into the new film’s villain, a female Terminator in the mold of the T-1000. That was great.

2) It’s got the ballsiest ending I’ve ever seen to a franchise (I have no interest in Terminator: Salvation), in which Judgement Day actually happens and renders the first two movies (two of the best movies ever) moot. However, it’s awesome. John Connor and Claire Danes are in a bunker, and the entire military is phoning in, asking “is anyone there!?” Connor hesitates before picking up the phone and answering with a brief, “John Connor.”

I would gladly watch a fourth Terminator film if it consisted of John Connor and Claire Danes stuck inside that bunker, forming the human resistance against the machines. I’d pay money to see that.

Also, I’m finally, really going to pick up watching The Sarah Connor Chronicles, which I dropped for some reason with only about ten episodes left. The official canon of the series should read: T1, T2, and TSCC. Even T3—which again, I enjoyed despite its flaws—feels more like officially-licensed fan-fiction than a proper entry in the series.

HOMELAND is a psychological thriller that tells the story of Carrie Mathison (Claire Danes), a CIA officer battling her own demons, who becomes convinced that the intelligence that led to the rescue of Nicholas Brody (Damian Lewis) a U.S. soldier who had been missing and presumed deal for nine years, was a setup and may be connected to an Al Qaeda plot to be carried out on American soil. Mandy Patinkin portrays Saul, a veteran CIA Division Chief who is Carrie’s boss and mentor.
