Lost interest season 2 or 3 (whenever the first major storyline ended). Couldn't get into any of the characters. Season 1 i was really into though. |

If you have time to watch a season of a show - Fargo is prob one of the best ways to go. It's pretty damn amazing. Thornton's character is the nuts |

The closes thing to Rambo are actually afghan soldiers, those fuckers were trained decades ago to fight russia and since then they have been warriors in perpetual war, I think most people make the mistake of confusing these guys with some improvised goat herder soldier, there is a reason why they are giving so much grief to the most advanced army in the world with just sticks and stones. |

Season 1 of homeland is great then the shows falls off immensely until the point that it is the worst show on premium cable by the end of the 3rd season when brody dies
So you guys are saying in season 4 it gets better again? I find that hard to believe |

If you haven't caught up with the show it's probably best to not watch topics like these though.. obviously people are gonna be discussing events in the show and a topic full of spoiler tags is annoying as fuck. |

im not saying brody dying was what made it bad that is obv what had to happen, the whole season was just trashy imo. I just think the hanging scene was a low point not necessarily because brody died though. |

+ Show Spoiler +
When Carrie went off her meds in early S2 for 1-4 eps that was painful to watch and I thought it was probably the worst part of the entire show... but then S3 came and I couldn't believe they went there again for the first 4 eps just to tell us it was an OP the whole time and that sucked even more. I like the minimal way they've dealt with Carrie's mental illness so far in S4. The only other low point imo was how redundant Brody's family was through S3.
BTW, I loved the scene when Carrie hallucinated Brody was still alive. That was great for the show and IMO it shows us somewhere deep down she wishes it could be true just like a lot of the audience do or have considered. Carrie is such a strong female character and I love her. She can be totally vulnerable then the next second manipulate whoever she's with. You never know if it's real with her or if she's just working a target. She can be torn down to absolutely nothing within an episode, survive and pick up the pieces again. She's just so good. Whenever I watch her in the show I just think of all the times "feminists" have whined over the lack of strong female leads and I can't think of ANY guy who would say Homeland would be better if Carrie was replaced by a man. If we flip that around for movie/TV shows with male leads a lot of them just wouldn't be the same either.
I love the complex way they plan all of their characters out too. I think the way they let Saul lay low for a while before he was grabbed was smart too. At that point he was fairly disposable and a lesser writer would probably have just killed him off pretty fast but the way they write just makes the show way more real and engaging for the viewer. When a character isn't that useful most writers tend to want to kill them off, it's easy and is supposed to make the viewers believe the show can go there. It rarely does though because that way of writing doesn't feel believable to the viewers. I really love how the writers opted to use that pattern instead to play on what most viewers expect, elevate the threat to Saul and make it feel even more gripping. That's just great writing. We rarely know what's going to happen next, we're OOP and they're unpredictable without having the GoT kill any character type unpredictability and not the hero never dies predictability either. They are somewhere in the middle and it makes it way more engaging.
P.S. this show has the worst intro ever. I skip it or mute it every time. |

+1, I looked her up and I'll be checking out some of her other projects. She narrated a book called the handmaid's tail which sounds interesting. Also, she's married to Hugh Dancy from hannibal. |

Very good season. I wish they made Saul more badass. He is fucking EX head of the CIA, agent. I like when he killed that guy in a cell pretending to hang himself. He had some good opportunities to be bad ass.Like the scene when he got the M16 and just past it to Carry, or on the run. |

why dont you guys NSFW the spoilers?
It's not so bright to read a thread about a show when you are not up to date, but you'd still always expect people to at least NSFW the spoilers, which takes 1 sec.

Don't read a topic about a tv-show if you aren't caught up. Internet 101.
Having to click spoilers while scrolling through a topic is annoying as well. If you want to know opinions about a show, read some nonspoiler reviews over at imdb.com or something.

Head of the CIA doesn't mean he's a badass asset like Quinn :o |

yea, but you don't become senior intelligence officer without being junior intelligence officer i imagine. So Saul could be chasing mofos around the world his whole life. Or the post is political only? I don't think so. |

Some intelligence officers work mostly in the office and only do very little field work and they can still get promoted to very high level posts.
And even out of those who mostly do field work, very few are pro-assasins like Quinn (used to be). |

He's a fat 60-something year old dude. Making him some kind of Liam Neeson Taken-style badass would be completely unbelievable. The fact that he escaped from the Taliban cell in the first place was pretty remarkable. |

I almost caught up with the actual episode, but I have to say this season is so illogical it hurts my mind. Highlight would be finding a taliban leader and having only one drone ? They have about 10 000 drones over the country practically doing nothing, they have a high priority target and only put 1 drone there ? Sure makes sick sense, so the taliban runs away, he outplayed em by showing himself ggwp
Best spy ever, doesn't put normal booty traps in the house where she keep the meds that keep her sane, so a complete amateur changes her pills. Much logic too
What the hell ?
And the constant remarks of how 9/11 and Bin Laden's death are real and only arabs and nutheads believe the opposite are quite annoying.
And showing how talibans are celebrated in the mid east is so retarded as well. Anyone that has ever read some kind of a book would realize talibans are as hated as american spies and droens |

Yes you can have a taste for bad quality stuff, like if you think Twilight is an amazing book and a profound love story well, thats your taste, but it doesnt change the fact that the book and movie is shit.
Sault is an old frail man in conflict probably because of the ruthless stuff he did younger with his new "old age wisdom", expecting him to be some kind of rambo badass is fucking stupid and childish.
There is already and old man badass:
Thats a realistic old badass, he has lived and thrived in strife all his life, and not spent decades sitting in an office desk.

Can't decide if Dar Adal is actually a traitor or they just want to make us think that while we wait for the finale.
I hope Quinn doesn't die, I'd miss him, he's a baller. But their season finales always have a (somewhat) unexpected death, I wouldn't be surprised if he did. Plus I've read he (the actor - Rupert Friend) is getting involved in a lot of other projects, although I know that doesn't necessarily mean he'll be killed off.
Love this show. |

Overall a good season although definitely worse than the previous ones. That final episode felt like it belonged mid-season rather than the finale. Quite a disappointing end. |

Next season :
Saul will be director of the CIA and he ll want to passively go after the taliban using Quinn/Carrie
Quinn will find some connection to his current mission w the taliban but there will be implications
Carrie will want to quit the job and be a full time mom, but she will find herself wanting to help Quinn
Accepting bets :D
+ I bet Quinn/Carrie will somehow punish Dar Adal |
