The funniest moment in the Homeland season premiere comes when a hysterical Carrie (Claire Danes) freaks out over the phone, and Saul (Mandy Patinkin) says, Calm down. Now you tell her, dude? Homeland leapt so far off the rails last season, its hard to tell if there are any rails left to come back to.

But by the time people started noticing all the silliness, it was too late now were stuck with it.

As the third season slooowly begins, Fortress America is reeling from a terrorist attack on CIA headquarters. (Damn that lax security! When are we going to get the constant government surveillance our citizens are demanding?) Saul hunts for Brody, the rogue Marine-turned-terrorist whom Carrie chased all the way into bed. Brodys daughter still has her annoying, narrative-killing teen problems. And Carrie testifies before a Senate investigation, with her ever-wobbling lip and quivering chin.
