It was hard to decide my viewing strategy for Sunday night with so much on, especially with Bonnie & Clyde in the mix, but I decided to go with Homeland, Masters of Sex Betrayed and watch Bonnie & Clyde on DVR instead. I still can't seem to get my thoughts out on Masters of Sex. I'm hoping after the finale it all comes flowing out.
Homeland
Wow, I had NO idea what was happening during last night's episode of Homeland. I mean we really didn't know what Brody's REAL plan was. I hoped he'd stick with the CIA's plan, but that plan kept changing, and not because of Brody. It was more like Murphy's law, whatever could go wrong sort of did and what did the CIA do? They tried to kill Brody and cut their losses, but Carrie would have none of it. She trusts him and had some pretty good phone service over there in Tehran and was able to get in touch with him with no problem at all. She warned him that the same assassins she hired to kill Akbari, were now after him. Of course he escaped and came up with a really awesome plan B or C...go to Akbari and tell him about Juvadi. Seemed like a good plan but then when Brody told Akbari that he too was part of the plan I honestly thought he was switching sides...again. Especially after he connected with Abu Nazeer's wife Nazareen. That's quite a name huh? Nazareen Nazeer. Thankfully, Brody stayed on the CIA's side. He smashed Akbari's head with a glass bowl and then suffocated him. How he gets outta dodge, we'll have to wait for the finale. Carrie's been a huge help and is nearby but it's gonna be tough, especially now that she's starting to show a little bit. Don't you think that Saul's beard is getting way too terrorist like? It's getting thicker and longer, he could hide a cynonide pen in it.
Betrayal
Knowing that Betrayal's not coming back makes watching it now a bit different. I feel like things need to get wrapped up. I want everything to end well and I honestly don't think it can. All I want is for Jack and Sarah to leave town. Just go. They almost did that in this weeks episode. They took a road trip, picked up a couple whose car broke down, and drove them to their friends wedding in Iowa. They took some Ecstasy, did it in the woods and had some cake. Awesome right? Wrong. The feds followed and told Jack he better turn against Karsten or they'll go after him too. Sarah's in, she's with him, but it sure does take all the fun out of things doesn't it? Worst part of all of this is that Karsten's a guy that freaks out when he doesn't get his way. Jack refused to come back to work so what did Karsten do? Framed him for the murder of the prostitute and told Drew the news. Drew's gotta love it, his wife's lover is the murderer? Fun times. Between Karsten, Oliver's homework and now this, it's amazing he found time to get those divorce papers done but he did and I guess in Chicago you can get divorced pretty quick. I mean we three episodes since he found out and divorce papers are in? I knew that Aidan the wine guy was too good to be true. I was right unfortunately, he's working undercover. He told his boss he has feelings for Elaine, but she didn't care. Now he needs Delphine, Val's girlfriend to do his dirty work or he's going to really hurt Elaine. I don't think she can take much more. See...no way can they wrap this one up before episode 13 right?

Monday's Trivia Question: Emilie Hirsch is playing Clyde in Bonnie & Clyde. He also starred in Into the Wild which is one of my fave books and a great movie. Can you name the person he played? It was a true story.
