Homeland - CONTAINS SPOILERS

Yeah, I think the focus now will be on Saul and Carrie trying to protect Brody. But I can't see how long can they milk this storyline, if the head of the CIA wants you dead, you are dead. Something needs to happen for him to reconsider or disappear. Maybe Quinn will get a conscience and won't do it, dunno.

About the VP part, I thought about that. I have a feeling they will get back to this. They could somehow discover he provided the code. Meanwhile I think the theory will be that Brody told him that he will resign as VP candidate, which caused Walden's heart attack (remember, the security lady escorting Brody in the car heard him say that on the phone that he's planning to resign, not that it was a big secret to them, they gave the order).

I'm not sure about Saul protecting Brody unless he has a change of heart. Estes really backed him into a corner. Even in the trailer for the next episode Saul told Carrie "You the smartest and dumbest person I've ever known" which I took as him telling Carrie that Brody is a marked man.

What do you think about this season in general? I enjoyed season one a lot more if I'm honest. This season has been good but there has been quite a few 'wtf' moments that have seemed a little silly.

As always, season 1 is the best. Rarely there are series where subsequent seasons trump the first one. Once Brody's secret was out, something was taken out of the show. I thought him getting caught or exposed would be the series finale, not already in 1st season finale. Also I fucking hate all the romance drama going on. It's torture watching Carrie mumbling about her feelings, it's very annoying. Finn and Dana are totally pointless I would gladly fast forward their scenes. Actually whenever people talk about feelings or some shit like that I feel uncomfortable and want to go away :lol: All in all I think this show has been going downhill since the start of S2.

Can anyone tell me what's the point of Chris in this series? :wank2:

Just a likeable child playing videogames, watching basketball. There's no point to Walter Jr. in Breaking Bad either except for eating breakfast.

Also how the fuck did Nazir get in the states? Imagine Bin Laden simply shaving his face, cutting his hair and putting on jeans and getting on a plane to the States. Would not happen.

LOL every shows got to have a little romance. That's how they keep the female viewes interested! :clown:

Walt Jr is actually a good character by the way. He isn't as useless as Chris haha

I'll watch anything with Damian Lewis in it even if he is a ginger. :D Loved him in BoB, Life (canceled too soon), and Homeland. What I love about Homeland is it's a show I can watch with the spouse and even the teenage daughter. What a concept watch a show together that's not on the E network or MTV or produced by Ryan Seacrest.

Season 1 was a WTF kind of show. Just never knew what was coming.

Season 2 has been up (killing the tailor!!!!!!!!!!) and down. The acting top notch even if you wonder how a nutjob like Carrie can be in the CIA. But they say there's a little insanity/madness in genius. The spouse is convinced Brody isn't a terrorist and never was. Really? The daughter text shouts at me across the country "WTF! He's a terrorist!" Estes is a d-bag. Can't hate Quinn. Saul is the voice of reason. Walden was slimy. Carrie is crazy/smart/scary. Brody is a pathological liar but you still feel for him which says something for Lewis' acting. Dana is the reason why animals eat their young. Jess and Mike - may they live happily ever after as long as we don't have to see too much of it. Where's the conspirator vet? You know he doesn't trust Brody, rightfully so.

Last week's episode wasn't one of the stronger episodes. Hope the season finale ties up some loose strings and leaves us hanging for more.

The spouse is convinced Brody isn't a terrorist and never was. Really?

How so? He was only a vest malfunction away from blowing everybody up. He still would've done it had it not been for Dana. A woman was killed to get him inside the room. Plus he fed information to Nazir and on top of other things saved his life. In the end Walden still died thanks to him. Where on the head was your spouse hit?

One thing that drove me crazy about this last episode...they did a big sweep looking for Nazir but...no dogs? What kind of sweep is that? The dogs would have been able to sniff him out in a minute and in dark tunnels, they made sense. Hard for me to suspend disbelief for that.

Now that they have offed Nazir, I wonder where will they go next. I have a feeling this show will be going into decline, actually imo it has already been declining in season 2. I'm afraid they will now start focusing on bullshit love stories between Brody and Carrie and how they're going to evade assassination attempts, which doesn't sound as interesting as its original storyline. Plus I think they totally fucked up Nazir's ending. He was portrayed as this mysterious untouchable guy, but he was killed like some kneeling hobo, he didn't even look like a proper terrorist anymore. It's also rather unbelievable that they take out a few of his people and the man himself and all of a sudden they're alright. Things don't work that way, if he really was this nr. 1 terrorist in the world, then he would have others take over and seek revenge. Maybe this is what will happen, hopefully... Sounds a lot better than listening to Carrie sobbing all the time on Brody's shoulders.

Yeah, the finale proves they're far from alright, and Nazir's death brought about the death of more than 200 people.

Wow, this finale ranks among one of the best episodes in this show, definitely the highlight of the whole season. Fuck I hate that we will have to wait for a year or so for it to start again. Same thing with Dexter.

Yeah...the last few episodes were a bit worse than usual. The Nazir as a villain in dark tunnels was silly but this episode was the bomb! (outdated slang and pun intended)

Ok, may be i am late but just saw the Finale and man o man!! I gotta be serious, i never saw that coming. The calm with which the whole memorial service was downplayed in the whole episode and then all of a sudden BBOOOMMMM!! One of the best episodes i have seen! Also that was one powerhouse performance by Mandy Patinkin. :clap:

Rough guesses on what happens next? Who is the mole? Who parked Brody's car there? Where was Quinn?
I just can't wait for the next season.

I think next season will mostly be Carrie trying to clear Brody's name. I am amazed at how long the show has been able to keep the "what side is Brody on" going and that will have to happen next season too. Who's the Mole? There might not even be a mole. If there is, Galvez still makes the most sense. Really the only one who would make any sense.. Where was Quinn supposed to be? He wouldn't have been at the memorial service of the Vice President anyway.

The show is so much more fun when Brody and Carrie don't really trust each other so I hope that goes on for the rest of it. Is Saul in charge now? I can imagine him tracking down a terrorist and saying "My name is Saul Berenson, you killed my boss, prepare to die" (not really.) Really, they shows' creators have put themselves in a good place because they can take the show in a number of different directions.

Just found this...interesting about next season.

Interesting insight to the next season that!

I asked for Quinn because there were couple of times in the season where he clearly mentioned that 'it was MY operation'. Even David Estes told Carrie few times that Quinn was the boss here so i would expect the Team Leader to be there at the memorial. Right?

Ok, I have just watched the frst season in one day and I found it absolutely amazing! Except the last episode...

They show both sides of the war in a very clever and realistic way. I hate idealised characters and this series has anything but that. The plot is breathtaking and made me hooked since the first episode, awesome pace. The cast is fantastic, but Claire Dana is out of this world, one of the best performances I have seen on a TV Series.

However, I was mad that Brody did not exloded himself, it would be much better, IMO.

In resume, I loved Homeland!

P.S: How do you rate season 2 and where can I watch it?
