5. Carrie tells Saul the plan worked! I didn't see it coming and it made the repetitiousness of Carry going through something like this again SO worth it!
I don't hate this story line with Dana anywhere near her story line from last season. I'm actually enjoying the parallels/juxtapositions presented with her situation, with her fathers (and the irony of the Leo reveal here), and Carrie's of being locked away and trying to escape!
I really liked Sam Underwood in Dexter this past and final season and so I'm delighted again to see him again here playing again a potential sociopath!
I def don't hate the Brody family story lines the way some people do, but that's not to say that I wish Mike and Jessica would get some better material.
That has finally added some spice to this season. I saw that she would do a double agent thing, but didn't see the Saul plot! This season has had such a slow start, and I'm sorry but I just don't buy the showrunner's explanations. The writing has just not been compelling for Dana and Leo's secondary arc. Glad to see it picking up.
I haven't payed too much attention to their explanations...I kind of passively watch Homeland, but I agree this episode definitely gave Homeland back it's edge! :D
Thank you! I find it extremely compelling, different from anything I've seen on any universe (TV, Movies, Books) and very sad, above anything else. I can't even imagine how I would feel if something like that happens to me and it's something that I had never thought about, like, you hear a terrorist attack happens and you never think "oh poor children of the terrorist guys", but the reality is much more complex and I like to see it portrayed here. It doesn't have the "action" component of the show embedded, but I like it. People are too harsh on it IMO.
I saw it coming earlier because I didn't believe that a show as good as Homeland used to be would assassinate the writing for their characters like that. So when Carrie went through with it, I knew it had to be a long con.
People ARE way too harsh on it! I def think, despite some of Dana's choices, she's actually realistic in the way she tries to deal with/or doesn't try to deal with reality. I def think the Brody family just adds a nice human element and a kkind of 'outside world' point of view of the series/subject matter which then helps to layer it's over all story. :)
Agreed! At least I am not totally alone in this. I don't think the point is to evaluate Dana's choices per se, but the fact that she was put in a situation in which she has to make said choices
NOTE: Name-calling, personal attacks, spamming, excessive self-promotion, condescending pomposity, general assiness, racism, sexism, any-other-ism, homophobia, acrophobia, and destructive (versus constructive) criticism will get you BANNED from the party.
Just the twist the show needed! I did not see that one coming! Can't wait to see what comes next!

ReplyDeleteBrody's wife was working for Abu Nazir all this time!
ReplyDelete" I don't get it; how come no one voted for any of the Dana-Leo scenes?!?!?!"
ReplyDelete-- Said no one ever
LMAO! I, for one, think Dana's storyline is getting more and more boring...

ReplyDeleteIt has to be the last scene.

ReplyDeleteExactly :)
ReplyDeleteCarrie and Saul are working together!!! DID NOT see that one coming. Loved it!
ReplyDeleteAnd I also liked how Virgil signaled Carrie that the CIA is listening.
