The real presidential election is over, but we still have to see if amoral "Homeland" Vice-President Walden will get elected, blown up, disgraced or something else entirely, as he runs for the top job. And we also have to see whether the second season, which has been incredible when it steps out of the way and lets Claire Danes and Damian Lewis act, and spottier when it presents various story twists, will coalesce as it moves into its second half. But any opportunity to watch Danes and Lewis together is a very welcome one.
