Firstly, Homeland: I think you might have been a little unfair to the twist at the end of episode 4. I'm kinda surprised you didn't catch on to the ruse of Saul and Carrie before-hand. On episodes 1-2, Saul was acting very similar to Estes (a man Saul despised) in regards to Carrie. Based on Saul's relationship with Carrie, it was apparent something was amiss. If you go back to the previous episodes the subtleties of Carrie's "erratic behavior" showed signs that this whole scenario was a setup for something greater. Who else could Saul trust such a delicate assignment with? Quinn? He only specializes in assassinations. Terrorist organizations prey on betrayed intelligence agents like Carrie to be used against their enemies. Honestly, I'm a little disappointed that the enemy fell right into the trap. Anyways, I just wanted to add my two cents.
Lastly, Agents of Shield: I have to disagree with Gary's issue about Shield knowing nothing about Skye. It was established on episode 1 that Skye erased herself from every worldwide database through hacking software. Coulson confirmed this when he stated that he knew nothing about her, which is one of the main reasons why he recruited her (for her hacking capabilities). However, I do agree that Shield should have known that Sky would eventually betray them. As a matter of fact, the show was letting on that Shield was practicing the "keep your enemies closer" strategy. All-in-all, it was a great review.
Other than that, I agree with most of your points on the featured shows. Keep it up, I'm loving it :)
