Another Sunday night, another big premiere, and we mean big. Really big. Homeland is back in a whole new way, and we have a lot of feelings about it. Plus, we saw the debut of Elizabeth Mitchell on Once Upon a Time, and Revenge got seriously crazy. It was such a good night that we can mostly only rave about it.

Spoiler alert! If you're not caught up with tonight's TV, get out now (but come back later)!

RAVE: Homeland: Carrie's back! And she's the villain? She still mostly subsists on a diet of wine and pills. Her coworkers refer to her as "The Drone Queen." She tried to drown her baby. Since we can't root for her anymore, we just won't, and as Kristin Dos Santos wrote earlier today, it makes the show a whole lot better.

RAVE: Revenge: Holy. Crap. So much just happened! First off, Gideon was cheating on Charlotte, and then was arrested for drugs at the airport with help from Daniel and Margeaux. Now Daniel and Margeaux are hooking up!

RAVE: Revenge: Second, David's been hiding in a dungeon, and he has no idea who Emily is! He thinks Amanda is dead, and now Victoria has him convinced that Emily should be destroyed!

RAVE: Revenge: Finally, Charlotte knows who Emily is, and she is not happy about it. She's so mad that she knocked Emily out and set the Stowaway on fire with Emily unconscious inside! Will she survive?! Of course she will, but that doesn't mean it's not going to be crazy dramatic. 

ABC

RAVE: Once Upon a Time: It's so preposterous and yet adorable to see Charming attempt the "I think we need to talk about your intentions with my daughter" conversation with Hook.

RANT: Once Upon a Time: We are confused by the Frozen storyline. How long ago did Anna take off? Why is Elsa still struggling with her powers enough to get her and Emma stuck in an ice cave? When are we going to finally get to see the reindeer dressed up for a wedding?

RAVE: Once Upon a Time: We are, however, not confused by Elizabeth Mitchell. We don't know who she is or what she's doing there yet, but we do know she can make ice cream with her fingers and for that we will follow her into the darkness.

RAVE: The Good Wife: Let's hear it for Linda Lavin who held her own against The Good Wife powerhouses and Joy, Cary's pre-trial service officer. She ended up saving Cary's butt!

RAVE: The Good Wife: Gloria Steinem is Alicia's new spirit guide? Perfect. The episode itself was a bit of filler with the main stories just inching along, but Alicia finally said "Maybe" to running for State's Attorney with a little encouragement from Steinem. 

FOX

RAVE: Brooklyn Nine Nine: Of course Gina and Jake think that a human vasectomy is equivalent to neutering a dog. Of course. Also: Characters on drugs make us laugh way too hard, especially when that character is Terry. 

RANT: Witches of East End: We feel bad for Ingrid's baby because she does not have a great selection of fathers. Also, RIP Frederick. 

RAVE: Witches of East End: However, we are quite intrigued to meet Wendy's long-lost underworld-y sister, Helena! 

RANT: Mulaney: We love John Mulaney, Martin Short, Nasim Pedrad, and Elliot Gould. We don't really love the show, and that is truly unfortunate. (But we did have an interesting time at the pilot taping.

RAVE: Bob's Burgers: A Die Hard/Working Girl musical?! Who even cares what else was on TV tonight? 

RAVE: CSI: Our Supernatural-loving hearts were happy to see Gabriel (aka Richard Speight Jr.) on TV again tonight!

So what did you watch tonight? Rant and rave with us in the comments!
