Ryan McGee and I had lots to discuss in this week's Talking TV podcast.

As we are doing every week until the end of 'Sons of Anarchy's' fourth season, we discussed the latest developments in Charming and what these shocking events may (or may not) mean for the show's future.

We also delve into the current seasons of two dramas with strong followings: Fox's 'Fringe,' which we're both somewhat disappointed with this season, and Showtime's 'Homeland,' which has had a very strong start to its debut season. Still, being paranoid types (which somehow seems appropriate), we wonder if the show will be able to mix big, suspenseful reveals with character-driven drama all season long, or if one of the other might suffer as the time to supply answers draws near.

The running times for this week's podcast:

0:00 - 14:42: 'Fringe' (Ryan's been writing about the show for Hitfix, and by the way, you should also read his essay on the state of TV criticism, which is thought-provoking, timely and comes up during the podcast)

14:42 - 36:00: 'Homeland' (I reviewed the show, which is midway through its first season, here, and you should really try to catch up if you can. It's very good.)

36:00 - end: 'Sons of Anarchy' (and I wrote about this week's episode of the FX drama here)
