This has been the stupidest season yet in Homeland history. They just create storylines out of thin air How the hell does a Russian spy stroll into a witness' room?

Yeah, it ain't making much sense this season. Saul especially, no no no Carrie, I don't to have anything to do with you (while still being someone of decent mind). But really, it should be you (after total mental collapse). Laughing


Well, at least the crazytown stuff seems to be over ( for now Laughing )

Yeah, it feels like (in general) the writers are dragging things on longer than necessary this season, while dismissing important details since the focus must remain on Carrie.

On the flipside, the family drama was concluded in a reasonably decent way in my opinion (it took them 10 episodes, but still xD), and I do enjoy the thrills of the political ruckus, even though it really tends to go bonkers from time to time. Razz *applies the electrocyka therapy*

There are definitely some lapses on the writing front, but still, it's an enjoyable watch overall. Even the family drama was resolved in a cool, rather down-to-earth way (I agree with Ixi). Besides, considering Showtime's track record, I'm willing to count my blessings and give this an "A-OK". Of course, there's always a possibility that Carrie will grow a beard and become a lumberjack next year.

I used to really struggle with Carrie's character in the the first couple of seasons, on reflection I think she is incredibly well written and she does a great job as an actress making it believable. Of all facets of her character, i find the patriotic side the hardest to relate. Still it's very real showing people frequently put passion, retarded bad relationships, jobs and many other vices first well beyond their family.. a rarity to see that stuff portrayed half decently in a TV show.

It hasn't been the strongest season, still enjoyed debating whether Carrie is doing the right or wrong things. I thought her sister was way off base at first, but then Carrie is completely neglecting this kid... what a train wreck situation to be in.

I'm no parent, but it is clear seeing those with kids around me. kids = your life is done for 20 years now (35-40yrs looking at millennials).

Last 2 episodes of the season are looking sick and very action-ridden Very Happy

Also, Carrie is finally Frannie-free! Devil Troll Could make for a great final season.

Bipolarity-free though?

The last episode was great Very Happy ..kinda silly (too much suspension of disbelief required) but still great.

All things considered, this season is actually pretty good.

GRU? Why not. Very Happy Don't ever forget all these SVR, GRU etc are just organized crime syndicates.

They are already above any law.

What was unbelievable is 1) what forced this guy to act like this. 2) that he kept all his money in the US . Nah, they would have resolved this situation differently. For instance, they would have compensated his losses by increasing taxes for Russian citizens and getting(stealing) money from the federal budget or something, as they already did here after Magnitsky act, I think, or some other sanctions..

Great season finale. Poor Carrie, though.

Also, Beau Bridges did a great job, really interesting character. Looking forward to see more of him in the final season.

'Twas indeed a good conclusion to the season, the slow start with them not-so-franny moments were fully redeemed by the interesting main plot and quality performances. Hopefully, the final season will be one to remember, and not for lumberjackian reasons!

I know I should've stopped caring about this a long time ago, but they're really stretching the suspension of disbelief when it comes to letting Carrie get back in the field.

So everyone is now aware she:
    1. is bipolar
    2. has recently suffered a full-on psychotic break after months of torture
    3. has major memory loss
    4. is possibly compromised
    5. is just notoriously unreliable in general, based on her past behavior

Yet they give her a crucial role in establishing peace in Afghanistan Laughing
