‘Season Premier of ‘Homeland’ Pretty Great’, Say Thousands of Video Pirates Who Downloaded It Illegally

Can't wait for the new season of Homeland to begin? Well, it turns out that, if you don't mind breaking the law and stealing from honest, hardworking Americans in the film and television industry, you don't have to wait. Although season three isn't scheduled to premier until September 29, apparently some naughty East Coast media elite leaked one of the press screeners of the premier episode that were handed out at the Television Critics Association gathering back in July. Now the thing is all over the interwebs and reportedly has been downloaded hundreds of thousands of times.

Now, we here at Egotastic would never engage in video piracy, because it is wrong. But apparently the folks over at Variety are a bunch of card-carrying commies hell-bent on destroying capitalism and the American way of life in general, because they downloaded the episode and reported that it's just missing the opening credits and some special effects.

Oh, sorry. I forgot to say SPOILER ALERT. Now you know there are special effects in the episode one. Man I'm so stupid.

Anyway, like I said, the third season of Homeland, starring Claire Danes, Damian Lewis, Morena Baccarin, and Mandy Patinkin kicks off September 29 on Showtime...or, you know, right now on your computer.
