Homeland

I might give up on it now. I watched chunks of this episode at 1.5x normal speed."First it was “is he or isn’t he” a spy? Then it was, “will he or won’t he” perpetrate an act of terrorism on the United States? A quarter of that was Carrie having screwed up feelings about Brody because, well, Carrie is screwed up."This is it. This is what made the first season so great. All the ambiguity. They kept you guessing to the final episode. This season reached a peak with the interrogation scene and its been all down hill since then. Now we know Brody is a fucked up terrorist and Carrie is a diminished character with her fucked up obsession for him. Fuck, Brody. Why won't you just die?

Yeah, is it just me or is this show really.fucking.stupid. now? My eyes almost rolled out of their sockets last night. It's entertaining but entertaining never made the show great, it was intelligence.

[CoolioD1]

I get what you guys mean. The lovey dovey scenes with Carrie/Brody at the start were pretty dull, Quinn having a sudden change of heart like seconds before he was gonna kill Brody was dumb. And weren't any CIA guys suspicious when they saw Brody's car being moved right next to where the memorial service was? Ugh... when are Mad Men and Breaking Bad back on?

[DeeCee]

Lucky, since 9/11 all security cameras on government buildings have been pointed towards the sky watching for planes so there'll be no footage of who moved the car.

same here.This show is getting stupid, and annoying (the love stroyline). It got lost. Getting too soap opera.The show was supposed to be about defeating terrorist attacks, spying, not fucking love triangle.

Quinn didnt kill Brody because he loves Carrie and doesnt want her to get broken.

[CoolioD1]

Quinn didnt kill Brody because he loves Carrie and doesnt want her to get broken.

But realising that JUST before he was gonna shoot brody is a dumb way to build tension.

[A Marvel Fanboy]

Well, such twist happens in TVs.

[A Marvel Fanboy]

Anyway, on opposite, I will be so pissed if Quinn turns out to be killed by fucking Brody.

[A Marvel Fanboy]

Any guess on where S3 will go from here ?

Carrie digging around for another 12 eps to get fucking Brody washed white ?

That would be rather annoying... (Just get him die and make Quinn the male leading, and I am pretty sure many audience want this to happen. ) Comon, writers !

I liked the finale setup next season and Saul is great. I really don't care about realism I mean I love 24 and that's not very realistic.

This, a million times, THIS.I cannot believe that Quinn- a hardened CIA hitman- would not pull the trigger. Fuck that. Because Damien Lewis won an Emmy? Grow some balls. So, so, stupid. And then Carrie helps him leave the country... literally drives him to the border... is that a joke??!?? Her character is ruined. They've turned her into a cock-hungry idiot who puts her personal life above her job when that is a complete 180 from how we were introduced to her.

I agree that The Berenson Bear is great. Easily the best character and the only one who doesn't really annoy ne.

[YoursTruly]

At this point, no plot development is too stupid for Homeland. Betcha next season we find out Carrie has multiple personalities and one of them masterminded the plot. Or worse yet, she wakes up in a mental hospital having dreamt the entire show.

[4815162342]

Moral of the finale: If you're ordered to ice a fucking terrorist, ICE THE FUCKING TERRORIST!Quinn's sudden change of heart made no sense and it becomes even more glaring when it became easily clear that if Quinn had iced Brody then the massive CIA bomb attack would not have happened.My hope for Season 3: Carrie spends 12 episodes trying to clear Brody's name for the CIA attack and does BUT during that same time good ol' Galvez does some old-fashioned detective work and figures out Brody is responsible for Walden's death and brings that info to Saul who has a change of heart and tells Quinn to cap Brody's ass and Quinn does so. Then, while Carrie has her teary psychological breakdown, Saul, Quinn, and Galvez do a chicken-dance in a circle around her while shouting "fuck you bitch!"

Jess gets angry and has another affair.Cut to Brody, who is walking solemnly along the side of the road. He meets a family of four.Kid 1: Dad, Dad, there's a person there!Dad: Shut up. (Pulls Over).
