Homeland, Ep. 206: A Gettysburg Address
Last we saw Sergeant Brody, he was picking himself off the ground of a dank interrogation room pleading forgiveness to the woman whose life he nearly ruined. Homeland effectively yanked the rug out from under its audience and exploded all … Continue reading
Homeland, Ep. 205: Q&A
Would it be overstating it to say that between Mad Men’s ‘LSD Scene’ and the ‘Interrogation Scene’ in this recent episode of Homeland, the two most captivating moments in cinema this year came from television? In one short line, said … Continue reading
Homeland, Ep. 204: New Car Smell
When people look back on Homeland as a series, they will likely point to a handful of episodes that set it apart from other political dramas like it. These episodes show why Homeland might forever make us rethink serial political … Continue reading

Occupy, One of a Kind, and the Evolution of Dr. Pepper
A recent Dr. Pepper Facebook ad, depicting the evolution of the soft drink along with the evolution of man, has some Christian groups outraged. On the tails of Chick-Fil-A’s similar, but very different, open stance against gay marriage, one has … Continue reading
Homeland, Ep. 201: The Smile
