Anyone been watching this new season of Homeland?

It's more A-Team than Homeland Security. That Carrie just does whatever she damn pleases and bangs the main suspect all the time. "Just trying to keep the customer satisfied" is how she spins it and the odd grimace aside everyone's cool with that at the Homeland depot.

You want to switch off the tracking device? "I don't think that's a good idea Carrie!" She replies "Just do it"!!!! And all protocol is forgotten and the whole team are drifting close to the breeze because the attack is supposed to be imminent yet all the main suspects for initiating the attack are roaming loose and working for Vice Presidents and major TV networks. WTF!!!

Sometimes watching I wonder who's crazier, Carrie or the crackpots who let her do what she likes and kind of just roll with the fact that she's a law unto herself. Watching this makes me wonder how they ever snagged Bin Laden.

Seeing Brodie sail off in a helicopter with Homeland Security's brightest and finest in the near proximity brought back memories of that Simpsons episode where Moe sweeps in on a flying jet pack and sails through the roof to save Homer from a beating in the boxing ring at the hands of Tatem. I can hear the commentator now "Whatever dignity remained in boxing is literally flying out the window".

That's exactly how I felt about 'Homeland' last week when Brodie sailed off into the moonlight in a helicopter.

Great show, SS. I have seen every episode and can say it is one of the best cable series ever made.

I plan on watching this in the future some day

He obviously has not enjoyed it. Oh, well. The best of the bunch I'm watching for sure.

I just received an e-mail from Time Warner (my cable provider) saying we will get free Showtime Jan. 11-13 and that we would be able to see Homeland. I may check it out IF I can see it from the beginning.



TIS

That's great TIS. I hope you get to watch and enjoy it.

Second season finale tonight!

Wow, what a season finale!! There's a long time till the next round of Emmys, but my money is on Homeland again.

afs - could not agree more! This was a great finale and I cannot wait until next season.

afs - I want to make sure I understood the last scene correctly... Saul was not speaking Arabic, he was indeed speaking a prayer in Hebrew - correct? Mrs. Mark thought he was speaking Arabic and may have been behind the bombing but I think it was the surviving terrorist cell that set off the bomb. What do you think?

According to the web, he was saying the Kaddish, the prayer for the dead. I haven't watched all of the episodes so I don't like to comment, but I am a big Mandy Patinkin fan, so I hope to catch up on Netflix.

SB is right Mark, that definitely was not Arabic. I know a bit of Arabic and it didn't sound anything like it. The Saul Character is Jewish, so it makes sense that he would be praying for the dead in Hebrew, however it was shown that he did speak with a terrorist in season 1 in Arabic. He had previously served in Lebanon, and could speak Arabic as well. He is my favorite too.

The prayers on Abu-Nazir was in Arabic though, that guy read a verse from Quran addressed to the soul upon death perfectly, meaning "O soul at peace, return unto thy Lord, well-pleased, well-pleasing, enter amongst my servants, enter to my paradise."

Got it - thanks guys!

Just brought season 1 of HL, looking forward to watching it..

I plan on watching this in the future some day

same here,i already have tons of others im currently watching

Homeland season 3 trailer.



I can't wait for this. It starts on the 29th.

Has anyone been watching the new season? Even though the last episode was a slight improvment imo, i've got to say this has been a big disappointment so far. I couldn't care less about Dana's crappy drama with her boyfriend, or anything to do with Brodys family at all. I'm starting to wonder how much Brody will feature in this season, so far he's only been in 1 ep out of 5. The CIA/Iranian storyline seems as if it has potential but it's moving painfully slow atm.

I'm watching it. I agree, it's been such a let down. They lost a writer, so maybe that explains it. Plus, I'm not sure if I could do a better job myself, after how the 2nd season ended. They have to build up a whole new operation and it's gonna be boring and slow.

I get that after last seasons finale, i didn't have a clue how they were gonna make this season work i guess they're doing a good job considering. Here's hoping the next episode is a Brody one and this Dana bs is over. The end of the last ep was good and it seems we might be getting deeper into the operation.

Yesterday i watched the latest episode, best of the season so far imo. Finally this Dana nonsense is over, i hope she doesn't come back and Brodys family doesn't develop another crappy storyline. Everything else was great, i really didn't expect the Iranian guy to kill those people. I'm really looking forward to the next ep. Even though it's really picked up, i'm still disappointed at where we are half way through the season.

Let's face it, there's no prospect of this show ever reaching the height of the last season. Next episodes would be all about who moved the bomb in order to clear the name of Brody. So who cares if it's cleared or not anymore. And then what?

I like the season and agree to get rid of Brody's family storyline I am glad the kid moved and is done with.....some good stuff with iran and the new head of the CIA, not sure of quinn's losing it because of the murder, I like his character, I am guessing he may end of dead at end of this season

It has not been that bad, I think the great seasons just get our expectations up too high. Some new writing talent being bought in would be good idea. Fresh ideas can bring the show back to previous level.

In my opinion this may be the best episode of the season next to the one where we learned that Sol and Carrie set up the whole psyche ward thing.

This one had some excellent dialogue.

I completely agree with you here, even though this season has got better it does seem as if they're nearing a dead end with the plot.

Hopefully he doesn't die because i really like his character. You may be right though because his heads got to be fucked up after killing that kid then seeing what the Iranian guy did to his ex-wife.

Something i noticed was that last year Rupert Friend was nominated for a guest actor Emmy for playing Quinn. Just wondering does anyone know if he was officially credited as a guest actor or that was just assumed because he played a small part in series 2? I guess it doesn't matter because apparently Martin Sheen was supposed to be a guest actor on the west wing, then he eventually became one of the main characters. I hope he is kept though.

You're spot on with the great seasons making us expect more. My main problem with this series so far is the lack of Brody episodes. I understand why there has only been one though, they can't really go anywhere with Brodies story right now all they can do is make him escape from Venezuela somehow, and as Asfaneh said. Then what?

I know it's off topic, but have you watched any of AHS Asylum yet DC? If so what do you think compared to Murder House?
