I could totally see that coming honestly and I think it had to be done.
I still ****ing hate Carrie. What a whiny bitch. She bothers me more than just about any character in any TV show in history.

I watched it late at night and was physically affected by the hanging, just something about the idea of leaving an American asset so bereft by the decisions of a few faceless functionaries just hit strong somehow [no man left behind and all that]. Damien's face at the end of that rope will be his face for all time for me now, I think.

So far removed from the first genius season it was hardly recognizable. And the producers laugh at the fans because they are pissed about the direction. Just wait they said. Well we waited and we are still pissed at the fail of such potential. I hated the whole Carrie loves Brody story line. Carrie having a baby? How in the hell do you fit that in the story line? She can't keep a baby and be a single mom thats also a CIA super agent and bi-polar. I will give the show another season. It had better get back on track. There is no more Brody so now they are going to have to come up with a new boogeyman.

As much as I rooted for his character, I thought Brody's prolonged presence made this season awfully stale. They obviously wasted way too much needless time with his family and there was no payoff in that regard at all. But I will say that they really did pull it together in the last 2 episodes there. They were by far the best of this season. They made you care about Brody's character once again in a thrilling episode 11 before cutting that off almost immediately in an emotional episode 12. It really was tough to see him go out the way he did, but at least it fit the greater theme about the personal costs of this line of work. They likely will never get back to the genius that was season 1, but this decision has the potential to give Homeland the new life that it badly needs. I think it had to be done.

I really like the way that the season evolved. It was a great story but the early bits involving Dana seem like a total waste now. I wonder if they had something else in mind.
They could end the show and go out on a high note. If not I hope that Quin goes to Turkey with Carrie. |

I enjoyed the season for the most part outside of the final episode. I thought it was anti-climatic and borderline silly.

Just finished watching the last four episodes in one sitting. Really liked this season, really liked where they went with Brody, but thought the last 20 minutes of the finale were really anti-climactic. I hope the next season isn't filled with Carrie wailing about how she isn't fit to be a mother and Lockhart twirling his moustache in his office.
At least Mandy Patinkin will still be a central character. |
