Homeland (Season 5 On Now/Renewed for Season 6)

[King Gizzard]

Don't think it was Saul he was praying in Hebrew I think and he will probably the head now, unless he runs off and helps carrie

[MTVN]

Just seen it, wonder if Quinn will get into major trouble now for not killing off Brody or was Estes the only other one who knew of the plan :suspect: not sure how Carrie's going to work her way out of this one either, still think it's a bit dumb that nobody seemed to question how she randomly managed to escape from Nasir a couple of eps ago

[King Gizzard]

Pretty sure Estes and Quinn were the only ones in on that plan because only estes quinn brody etc knew about the massacre thing

[MTVN]

What about Darth Adal

[King Gizzard]

He was only giving Estes one of his men probably didn't know what it was about

Remember how pissed off Estes was when Saul told him he knew

[Shaun]

let's all discuss our favourite way for Dana to die

[MTVN]

Have a feeling he is the one pulling all the strings in this show

[MTVN]

I wonder if Brody's son will actually do anything more in season 3 apart from a karate tournament every now and then, got to be the most pointless character

The last one with Brody's really annoyed "not now!"

[lily.]

haha.. that video is so accurate.

[Iceman]

do you think they could have filmed some scenes when Claire Danes was pregnant? I mean the next series starts with her already having the baby and do flashbacks and stuff....then she starts going cuckoo again and they take the baby off her and she has to fight to get it back and to reunite with brody....... :/

[Iceman]

Homeland will return for a third season on Sunday, September 29th at 9PM

Wait.. what?

[Iceman]

One of my theories haha

[King Gizzard]

Rather them not make it too soppy and romance based, hopefully there will be other main characters

[Iceman]

Damian Lewis will return to Homeland for its third season, it has been confirmed.

Executive producer Howard Gordon told TVLine that the actor will continue to play Nicholas Brody on the hit Showtime drama.

"He's alive so of course he'll be back," Gordon said. "One of the great challenges of next [season] is how he'll be back. But there's no doubt that he will be back."

Homeland's second season ended with Claire Danes's character Carrie Mathison helping Brody begin his new life as a fugitive.

Executive producer Alex Gansa had previously teased that Lewis's involvement in season three was "an open question".


"We had a much clearer picture of what the first two seasons would be than we do of what the third season would be," he said. "Damian's involvement and [the actors who play Brody's family] is very much up in the air."

Showtime boss David Nevins also hinted that Homeland could survive without Lewis.

Lewis won 'Best Actor In A Television Series (Drama)' at last night's Golden Globes for his role in Homeland. Co-star Danes won 'Best Actress In A Television Series (Drama)', while the show itself won 'Best Television Series (Drama)'.

no kidding

[Iceman]

Also Homeland won 3 of the 4 categories it was nominated in at the Golden Globes.

Best TV Series
Best Female
Best Male

Its a joke it didn't win all 4 tbh. Mandy Patinkin will storm it next year. :worship:

[Iceman]

september is too long

I know :( We'll get the buzz around July though...

[Niamh.]

September is good for me, the finale of both Dexter and Breaking Bad are in the summer

[Iceman]

Ive actually got a lot planned once college is finished with so September does me fine...

[lily.]

Eoin.. I love you, but your theory is bonkers lol

[Iceman]

:idc:

I NEVER SAW CONDOMS!!!!!!!!

[lily.]

You ever hear of 'the paisley method'? lol

[lostalex]

The problem with cable series is you only get like 10-14 episodes per year, while network shows get like 20-24. cable really needs to make longer seasons.

[Shaun]

tbf I imagine if the writers wanted more episodes per season they'd get them, especially if it's a show as hyped as Homeland

Damian Lewis Talks ‘Homeland’ Season 3, Future Of Show And Death Of Brody

Showtime’s Homeland is set to go back into production and star Damian Lewis was asked about the future the show and what fans should expect.

”It will run its natural course. If that’s only four years, it will only be four years… and there’s no guarantee that my character will be around,” Lewis said to Radio Times.

Fans shouldn’t fear the death of Brody anytime soon as Lewis recently signed a seven-year Homeland contract, but insisted his deal did not guarantee a future on the series.

”The series could rebirth itself each year by just finding a new threat. So you can go past Brody because the anchor of the show is in the CIA, it’s in the threat to homeland security.”

His British co-star David Harewood’s character, CIA operative David Estes, was recently killed off in the drama.

This year the cast of Homeland swept the Golden Globes and assures success for a few seasons ahead.

Homeland is set to return September 29, 2013.

[Locke.]

Looks like it will be good, but it doesn't seem like they learned from their mistakes last year and are going to make Dana's storyline even more annoying this season

[Joelle.]

Looks like Brody is going all Heisenberg on us with that shaved head. :worship:

[Locke.]

First episode has leaked online

[Shaun]

wow, that's pretty weird :/ -just read that on bbc-

dunno whether to wait or have a peek...

[Iceman]

Ive decided to wait....

[MTVN]

New season starts tonight in the US, will probably watch it tomorrow

[Locke.]

Not that great of an episode really, the only interesting scenes were the ones of Quinn on his mission and Saul's courtroom scene.

And seriously.. the amount of criticism they got in Season 2 for making Dana such a prominent character and giving her a stupid storyline and they are in the process of doing the exact same thing all over again. Brody's son is unbelievably annoying aswell.. Would be great if they just killed his family off

[MTVN]

Yeah you can tell they're gonna drag out another annoying Dana storyline, sending topless selfies is never going to end well

Like how Saul has decided to throw Carrie under a bus though, hopefully he becomes more ruthless this season along with good old Dar Adal

[King Gizzard]

this is a show that can't run and run otherwise it'll just turn to ****, it needs to end relatively soon

[arista]

On Ch4HD 9PM Sunday


Nate its a very valid updated story
Lots of life


12 Episodes

[lily.]

Is it just me, or have these 2 episodes been a bit flat?

I don't know if it's because Brody isn't in them, or what.. I'm just losing interest a bit. I also liked the Estes/Quinn thing from last season. Estes seemed to be prepared to do anything to save his own ass, but Quinn has something of a moral compass.

Quinn could be a really good character, but he's being underused. He seems to spend most of the time skulking around in the background.

Not sure what to make of the Muslim analyst storyline. Are we supposed to believe that every Muslim is treated like an outsider in the CIA.. or that the director would speak to her like that.. it's all a bit iffy.

[Mystic Mock]

I actually think the first episode back was a bit of an improvement on last season as I felt that Brody had too much of a role last season.

[Shaun]

i've heard really bad things about S3 so far, not seen any eps though

[MTVN]

First ep wasn't hugely exciting but seemed to be setting up some interesting stuff (apart from Dana) and was less concerned with over the top action which was good, will watch the second ep tonight

[Locke.]

Haven't watched the second yet either, will watch it on wednesday. Not really that big a fan of Brody, I prefer Quinn and Saul (and Mike), but it doesn't really feel the same without him. I know he'll be back this season sometime but the sooner the better really.

[arista]

You should put (Ch4 9PM Sundays)
on your title
it was not posted yesterday Locke


1st Episode Ch4HD was Great

[MTVN]

Just watched the second ep

Yeah not that good really, it's definitely a slow start to the season. Feel like Carrie is becoming a bit too unhinged atm, bit bored of it. Not sure how much I buy the change in Saul either, bit random him going mental at that girl for wearing a headscarf.

I don't see why the writers seem so desperate for Dana to apparently be a really important character while they just keep Brody's son as the pointless person ever as well

Show badly needs Brody back next ep to keep people interested

[King Gizzard]

carrie is probably turning into the most annoying TV character along with sheldon cooper

I say probably turning into, she has been for a while

[Locke.]

Episode 2 was bad, easily the worst episode of the entire show. Brody better have a cool storyline on the run to make up for this mess.

[MTVN]

yURPBx9jC6s

Not really sure what is going on with this but at least Brody is gonna be back

[Ithinkiloveyoutoo]

so many shows to watch. Ain't nobody got time for that :bawling:

[lostalex]

yURPBx9jC6s

Not really sure what is going on with this but at least Brody is gonna be back

ugh,. i can't stand brody. I think he ruined the second season. he should be locked away in guantanamo like the joker in arkham assylum. he's a terrorist. I'm sick of him. This show is about Carrie and the CIA, not about Brody and his ****ed up stockholm syndrome bull****.

[MTVN]

Third ep was better I thought, made up for the lack of Brody by having most of the episode on him and no Dana which was good

still all a bit slow mind, I don't really get the main Venezuelan guys motive for keeping him there until he dies really either, espcially seeing as he's prepared to gun down policemen and Imam's to do it. Sorta implied he was doing it for Carrie but then went on about how she wouldn't care about him and how she would never find out about it. The doctor seems sort of interesting though, bound to be something very creepy revealed about him soon

Sort of a spoiler for the next ep from the preview as well I guess:

glad Carrie will be getting released from the physch ward, bit bored of her just freaking out in there all the time, the thing with this guy who visited her looks like it could be interesting too

[lily.]

Matt, I'm with you.. I don't understand their reasons for keeping him prisoner there... and I also think the doc has some kind of shady back-story, so that could be interesting.. I wonder who the lawyer was representing.. that was all a bit dodgy as well. Missed Saul/Quinn this episode, but at least we didn't have to endure Dana and her whiny mother..

[King Gizzard]

from hating Quinn when he was first on there he is the best now

[Shaun]

caught up with the first two eps earlier... it's frustrating viewing, but I think the poor reviews might just be petty lashing out at how the story's constricted by the fallout from S2.

I enjoyed them... but the CIA area needs more fleshed-out characters. The new muslim woman seems nice but her speech with the bankers was a bit childish.

[Locke.]

Episode 3 was really good, the Carrie stuff all felt out of place though, the entire episode should have just been Brody's story.

I'm sure I read before the season started that Brody wasn't in the opening 3 episodes, so maybe they swapped some stuff around to have him in earlier after how bad the first 2 episodes were, so it might have been intended to be entirely Brody in the first place

[lily.]

Well, that was an interesting twist... didn't see that coming

[MTVN]

The twist just comes out of nowhere and makes no sense, like why would she start crying when she's on her own watching Saul testify on telly, and she wouldn't have acted like she did in the hospital if she knew it was a ruse all along surely.

It's quite an interesting twist which sets things up well but it sorta makes the whole first 4 eps of this season a bit meaningless. I don't know what the point was of having that 3rd ep almost all Brody and then go back to having none of him this ep either

And the Dana storyline taking up so much time is annoying and it's only going to get worse by the look of it

[MTVN]

Think this season is finally starting to get going now, Saul in this ep :worship:

Annoying that Brody has only been in one episode out of the first 5 though, think I can see where they're going with Dana now as well, she'll end up converting to Islam, probably get radicalised and end up trying to find Brody, would be more interesting than her love story I suppose

[lily.]

I'm still not sure where the Dana storyline is going, but I'm glad the 'teenage runaways' thing is over.. although, I doubt I was the only one to notice the 'Romeo & Juliet' reference to Claire Danes.. :)

I get what you were saying about her crying on her own, but I think she genuinely stopped her meds, so she'd be acting to a certain extent.. but she does seem like a bit of a mess..

I'm not missing Brody too much cos I don't like the storyline he's getting. It'll be more interesting when he escapes..

[Shaun]

I actually really liked episodes 3 and 4, not sure where this has all come from (the backlash)

but I understand the events of episode 5 are what pissed people off so I shall see...

[Locke.]

Episode 5 was really good, this season finally seems to be taking off.

[Locke.]

Saul locking the new Director in the conference room and turning the lights off :joker:

[Shaun]

last two episodes have been great :love:

[Livia]

I've loved this season from the beginning. Great when you get such a good series that keeps the quality up this way. Missing Brody though...

[MTVN]

Amazing last episode (US pace)

Quinn actually taking down Carrie :worship: about time she wasnt allowed to go through with one of her own silly little adventures against her orders. Feel like this series has sort of ruined her a bit by having her bipolar go a bit too wild and now this whole pregnancy thing, hope the baby doesn't survive somehow

Didn't see the last scene coming at all either, was wondering where they were gonna go with Brody but didnt expect Saul to suddenly rock up. Set up now to be a really good end to the season

[Locke.]

Most recent ep in US spoilers

Quinn shooting Carrie and Saul getting Brody, great episode.

Be interesting to see what Saul's plan is in the long run, guessing it wasn't Carrie that knew the guys who had Brody in the tower but it was Saul all along. Kind of wish the viewers would know the main characters plans all along but I suppose it's more interesting if we find out at the same time as other characters.

[Novo]

has Inigo died yet? has Agent Brody followed in Leonardo's footsteps and sealed the deal with Claire Danes? fill me in.

[Locke.]

Inigo has been the main character this season and Brody has impregnated Claire Danes

[Shaun]

last week's episode (US pace) :worship:

Carrie getting shot. So ****ing deserved. Such a dick.

Also really liking the increased time given to Saul's wife... she was a bit of a spare part in the first two seasons.

[Iceman]

Its building to a great season finale...oh cant wait for next episode the trailer looks brilliant...

[lily.]

This week was brilliant.. I'm really not hugely invested in the Carrie/Brody relationship though.. I'm hoping the baby doesn't make it either.. it's ruining my Carrie/Quinn hopes.. I wonder if Saul will tell Mira about her loverboy and his true intentions.. :/

[MTVN]

Great episode this week (US pace)

Really thought Brody was actually going to settle in with the Iranians, he should have done really, would have been a legend in Iran. Carrie was ****ing annoying again but I guess she was right again so meh, but it is about time she was put in her place a bit :idc:

[Iceman]

Latter end of this season has been amazing. Terrific acting yet again.

[Mystic Mock]

This show has gone so bad, they're more interested in winning awards for their acting instead of making entertaining episodes where it doesn't all revolve around Brody.

[MTVN]

You are just annoyed cos there's been no Dana recently Mock

[Locke.]

Episode 11 was brilliant, felt like a mini-movie. Next weeks finale should be good

Guessing Saul will get to stay on as Director of CIA now after how well his plan has gone (or at least get his old job back as right hand man). Don't see how he'd fit into future seasons if it went the way it was looking and he had no ties to the CIA at all anymore.

[Mystic Mock]

You are just annoyed cos there's been no Dana recently Mock

Oh no I'm really grateful for that.:hugesmile:

[Locke.]

Not really a spoiler but news about next seasons cast

Two cast members will depart Homeland at the end of the current third season.

Morena Baccarin, who plays Jessica, and Morgan Saylor, who plays Dana, will not return as series regulars in season four, TV Line reports.

Jessica and Dana have not appeared in the show as much this season because of Brody's (Damian Lewis) reduced role.

According to the website, both actresses are welcome to return on a guest-star basis.

Damian Lewis recently admitted that he did not expect to get "even halfway through" his full contract with the show.

"Brody is such a conundrum for the writers," he said. "They've been slightly hijacked by the brilliance of their own creation.

"I don't think anybody quite knew how Brody was going to work, and I don't think anybody anticipated how compelling the Carrie-Brody relationship would be.

"He's a brilliantly complex and unpredictable character and... he could still be there in season seven. Who knows?"

Homeland's third season concludes this Sunday at 9/8c on Showtime in the US. The show airs on Channel 4 in the UK.

Thank god

[Locke.]

Finale has leaked online too...

Won't be amused if the big spoiler I just read is actually true :idc:

[Locke.]

Just watched it

That was the perfect ending for the entire show.. It's actually a bit of a shame that there will be a season 4.

Saul wins but is now out the game and living happily with his wife. Carrie gets the job she has always wanted. Brody dead but got his redemption. And then the final scene of Carrie adding his star to the wall at the end.

Season 4 probably set in Turkey then, unless they have all of Carrie's mission inbetween seasons.

[lily.]

I didn't open your spoiler tag... I'm just about to watch it. :)

[Iceman]

it should have ended just as carrie climbed the fence...no season 4...nothing....

Muat admit I thought when carrie got the call about a spec ops team at the end that brody had miraculously survived....

Im actually devastated hes gone though...the s ynamic between the two was immense

[Locke.]

http://i.imgur.com/mcvbydA.jpg

:joker:

[lily.]

lol locke..

I agree Eoin.. it should have been a series ender.. not a season ender.. I fail to see where they can go with S4 now.. :/

[MTVN]

Yeah agree with everyone that it would have been a great way to end the whole show, I'm worried that the main thing they will do now is boring family stuff like Dana and Jessica reacting to Brody's dying a hero basically, Carrie trying to juggle being a Mum with work and probably getting with Quinn, stuff about Saul and his wife etc.

Though then again apparently the Brody family won't be very big in season 4, and there's no way Saul could stay out of things for ever and it seems Carrie will leave the kid with her Dad so there may be some hope, but it's just kinda another season for the sake of it

Was a really good ep overall though, they probably did need to take the plunge and actually kill off Brody tbf, and they carried it out really well

[Shaun]

US actor James Rebhorn, known for roles in TV series Homeland and film Scent of a Woman, has died at the age of 65.

Rebhorn, who had skin cancer, died at his home in South Orange, New Jersey, his agent Dianne Busch said.

His career spanned five decades and saw him appear in TV shows including The Good Wife and 30 Rock, and films such as My Cousin Vinny, Carlito's Way and Basic Instinct.

Diagnosed with melanoma in 1992, he continued working until last month.

His agent told The Hollywood Reporter: "He fought it all this time.

"He died Friday afternoon at his home in New Jersey, where he had been receiving hospice care for a week and a half."

He had more than 100 screen credits, one of the most recent being for Homeland, in which he played Frank Mathison, the father of Claire Danes' CIA officer Carrie Mathison.

His films included The Talented Mr Ripley, in which he played a shipping magnate, Meet the Parents and The Game.

Rebhorn often played authority figures, including the headmaster in 1992's Scent of a Woman and the US secretary of state in the 1996 blockbuster Independence Day.

The Philadelphia-born actor also worked on stage, with theatre roles including Broadway productions of 12 Angry Men and Our Town.

Tributes have been paid to the prolific character actor. Fellow actor Tom Arnold wrote on Twitter: "RIP. This actor was amazing.

"You didn't know him but trust me, you knew him."

Actress Frances Fisher wrote: "Shocked and saddened to hear of James Rebhorn's passing. Jim was a consummate actor with whom I had the pleasure to work when we were young."

Rebhorn is survived by his wife Rebecca Linn and two daughters.

:(

[Iceman]

Thats really sad. I remember him from a lot of TV shows....I think he was underused in Homeland too....I liked hia character.

Also I hope thia is the last season and we just get to carrie being in control of her life.....

[lostalex]

I've been tryna get rid of Brody (and his family) after the first season. this show would be so much better if it was all about Carrie.

eason one was good, but we found out that yes, brody was a terrorist, it should have ended there, and Carrie should have gone on to fight more terrorists,

Hopefully next season we can start fresh with Carrie fighting new terrorists. (and she really needs to give that baby up for good and never speak of it again, because i really don't want a whole drama about Carrie missing her baby)

hopefully now because the actor that plays her dad is dead, that rules out any possibility of him taking the baby. I'm hoping.

[lostalex]

Just watched it

That was the perfect ending for the entire show.. It's actually a bit of a shame that there will be a season 4.

Saul wins but is now out the game and living happily with his wife. Carrie gets the job she has always wanted. Brody dead but got his redemption. And then the final scene of Carrie adding his star to the wall at the end.

Season 4 probably set in Turkey then, unless they have all of Carrie's mission inbetween seasons.

Brody didn't get redemption in my eyes. He turned, and he was a terrorist, just like Carrie said from the beginning. He only changed his mind because Carrie told him about the baby, he still didn't have any real alliegence to the USA.

He's a terrorist piece of **** in my eyes, and always will be. no redemption for him. imho.

[MTVN]

Have some respect, Brody was an American hero

[lostalex]

Have some respect, Brody was an American hero

no, he converted to islam, and intended to try to murder at least a dozen USA congressmen. he was definitely a terrorist and definitely try to carry out a terrorist attack on the US... did you miss that part? oh and he actually murdered the vice president...

there's no way that he wasn't a terrorist...

and i totally knew she was gonna draw that star with a sharpie before it happened, it was so obvious. wtf Carrie, she's going soft, i think they should,d blow up carrie in the first episode of S4, and make Quinn the new main character. just my opinion...

I wish Carrie would have run up and gotten shot by the Iranian Guards during Brody's execution, it would have been a much more fitting ending. i'm sick of her.

Quinn is a much more interesting character at this point. imho.

[MTVN]

Dar Adal is going to be the season 4 lead I believe

Dar Adal is going to be the season 4 lead I believe

http://34st.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/610-homeland-TinMan-FMurrayAbraham-DarAdal.jpg

he is interesting, but he seems evil to me. we need a true patriot to be our hero, and i think that's Quinn.

I think he is going to end up being a baddie, and i think Saul is gonna end up exposing him. I think it's gonna end up that he is Mossad, he's working for the Israeli's. look at him!

he looks like every stereotype of the evil jew. That can't be by accident.

[Locke.]

Very true Alex, Quinn is a real patriot and the true American hero on the show

Oh thats me out for sure.....such terrible decisions on casting in this show and thats the final nail for me....i'll just keep the memory of the season 3 finale as the end.

[MTVN]

Nonsense Eoin it is going to be the greatest season yet, Saul has brought around regime change in Iran and brought them back into the international community, now Dar Adal is going to crush them while they are weak and off their guard

[Iceman]

Homeland for me was brody....unless thia revolves around carrie then its redundant to me....hyoe it up and build it up all you want but its over for me....enjoy it though.

Season 4 is set in the Middle East

After three seasons in Charlotte, NC, Showtime drama Homeland is leaving the US to film its fourth season in Cape Town, South Africa. The end of Season 3 found Carrie Mathison (Claire Danes) taking a job as a station chief in Istanbul. Showtime wouldn’t specify where exactly Mathison would work as the new season is still being mapped out, only saying that she is being “assigned to one of the most volatile and dangerous CIA stations in the Middle East where she is back on the front lines in the war on terror.” At TCA in January, Showtime president David Nevins already shed light on the setup for Season 4 with Mathison in the field overseas. “Homeland is a show that is deeply about a field operative (Carrie), and we haven’t seen her much in the field,” he said. “In Season 4 you will likely see her on the ground in a foreign capital doing her job,” adding that co-star Mandy Patinkin will continue to be “central and important” to the show.

Homeland will begin production in mid-June and shoot through November. “We’ve been so lucky to work with one of the best crews in the business for the last three seasons in Charlotte,” said showrunner and executive producer Alex Gansa. “We knew going into season four that we would need to move the production overseas to tell the story of Carrie returning to the Middle East as chief of station. We are thrilled to have found a new home in Cape Town and look forward to getting season four production off the ground.”

Good stuff, will watch later

Starts back over here this Sunday at 9 on C4. Can't wait for it!

[MTVN]

Just seen the first double-ep

Really enjoyed it actually, especially the first episode. Thought all the scenes revolving around the wedding bombing itself were really good and the different characters responses to it. The second ep got a bit strange though and they really shouldn't have carried on with the Carrie-Brody baby story, now it feels like they don't know what to do with it, like they can't just abandon it but they also realise the show shouldn't turn into a soap opera and spend too much time focusing on Carrie as a mother.

Definitely was good enough to keep me watching at least

[Locke.]

I'm really impressed, I wasn't expecting this season to get off to a good start, thought it may have had some trouble finding its feet after Brody but it was great

[lily.]

It felt weird for me how they mentioned Carrie and Maggie's dad because the actor died this year..

I don't know where they will take this baby storyline.. I expect Maggie will adopt her.. there's no way Carrie is going to step-up to that role.

Loved Quinn and how he is just unravelling.. he's a mess.

I wasn't sure what to expect with Brody being dead, but it looks like the season is off to a good opener with the wedding bombing story. Looking forward to seeing where it all goes.. especially with the nephew.

[arista]

9PM Ch4HD tonight

[lostalex]

i watched the first ep, and honestly i have no idea what is going on., the only thing i remember is that carrie almost killed her baby, but i have no idea wtf is going on this season. i couldn't understand any of the political stuff at all.

The CIA waiting for the media to figure out if it was really a wedding or not? just seemed implausible. and are we meant to hate Carrie now? because she wants to kill terrorists, and now Quinn is the character we all should love because he now all of a sudden has a conscious, even though he was way more ruthless than carrie in season 2???

I don't know where they are going with this, but it seems like they are setting us up to hate carrie and like they want quinn to be the sympathetic character on the show. that won't fly with me.

[arista]

Alex that is a Spoiler

Its starts tonight here

[arista]

On Ch4HD now

[Locke.]

Watched ep3

Saul :joker: Just turning up unannounced and crashing the operation, top guy. Glad that they've potentially given him a new love interest because his wife is annoying as ****. Quinn had started to become my favourite character last season and his storyline so far this season is ensuring that stays the same.. Hope he doesn't end up in a relationship with Carrie though.

Can't believe how different Fara looks either. She is a GIP now.

[lily.]

Also watched ep3 now..

I find Saul's wife annoying also. I love Saul though. I hope he has a big role in this season. I think they're trying to push the Carrie/Quinn thing and although I ship them I also like that they aren't together, because there's tension.. plus, I like his new girlfriend.. I think she could be good for him.. cos he's all kinds of messed up right now..

I've always loved Quinn's character though.. he's dark..

I'm wondering where Virgil is though...? I genuinely can't remember if he died already...

[lostalex]

Quinn is definitey getting a very sympathetic edit this series, we are clearly meant to like him and think he is a sympathetic character. which totally ruins Quinn for me! I liked the bad ass, no questions asked stoic assassin Quinn. Not this soppy drunk ****ing fat chicks Quinn. Carrie needs to whip him back into shape.

I'm most intrigued by the young pakistani guy story line who's family was killed. i still can't tell where this is going togo, are they setting him up to be a CIA recruit? or are they setting him up to be the next villain?

[arista]

On Ch4HD now

[Shaun]

this season is already so much better than s3 :flutter:

@ the end of episode 4... GET IT GURL.

[lily.]

I agree. Loving the season so far. Carrie is effing ruthless.

[Shaun]

-jealous tbh-

[lily.]

haha.. He's a bit young for my taste. I'm more jealous of the curvy gal getting on Quinn.. :p

[Locke.]

FFS, that ending :joker: Reminded me of Drew a bit

[Shaun]

he does have a bit of a Carrie vibe now you mention it

[MTVN]

Ep 5 spoilers

Damn I hate Carrie so much, all these scenes with her and Aayan are incredibly cringey and even though she's just using him it is looking worryingly like some weird genuine romance might develop. Better not though.

Saul was incredibly dumb that ep as well, firstly not to think anything of the fact that the ISI guy just happened to be at the airport the exact same time and then with the worst efforts at tailing somebody ever, staring at the bloke the whole time and constantly moving everywhere he went

Hope to see a lot more of Quinn calling Carrie out on what a terrible job she's doing. You're the chief of an entire station and one of the most important ones at that, switch on your damn phone :rant:

[Locke.]

Mixed thoughts on Ep5

I don't buy that a former chief of the CIA would be so amateur when it came to the airport scenes, and Carrie was really terrible throughout. I liked how flawed they were making her in the episodes when she was back in the US but these scenes with Aayan aren't half annoying.

Hopefully we get more scenes with Quinn and Farrah, the best two things about the show currently.

[lily.]

I am glad Quinn called her out on going AWOL and "****ing a child". It is quite disgusting how she is dealing with this Aayan situation.. and like Matt says, it is worrying that it might be turning into something.

I don't know what to make of Saul. It all seemed very amateur considering his experience, but I could see how he might think to go into the bathroom after those two shifty guys came out. I just fail to see how he didn't see through it..

[lily.]

Wow... Loved this week's episode.

[MTVN]

Yes!!!! **** off Carrie!!!! Amazing ep

ISI/The Taliban > the CIA tbh

[lily.]

How the f*&k are they gonna get Saul out of there?

[Locke.]

Great episode this week

How the f*&k are they gonna get Saul out of there?

I'd imagine the next step is finding out who got to the photos of Aayan (seemed like Carrie realized that's what it was in the end when she saw the bags then trashed her office) and then going through that useless bastard of a husband to the ISI woman, and then getting some kind of information from her, whether that's through catching her or just surveillaning her, and then get to Saul. Assuming he lives of course... But surely he has got to.

[lily.]

ngl, I'll be hella pissed if he dies

[lily.]

omg... please tell me someone has watched this week's epi...

[Niamh.]

I'm watching it at UK pace so I'm a weak behind, not feeling this season at all

[lily.]

Ok, then I can't discuss this epi with you... suffice to say it's a good 'un.

I am enjoying the season so far. :)

[MTVN]

Not seen it yet but expecting a belter when I watch it later now

You should find next week's ep a lot better Niamh, I didn't realise till last night that UK pace was actually two weeks behind after I spent the evening bigging up last nights UK ep to my parents as the best one in ages and then it turned out it was the one before that which was actually imo the worst one in ages

[erinp5]

omg... please tell me someone has watched this week's epi...

I did ....it's one of my fav shows . Saul !!!! when he went into the toilets to follow his mark....then ........Noooooooooooooooooooooooooo. I fear Carrie will become to emotionally involved in her new "recruit" and that means .... trouble ahead lol .

[lily.]

Wait, are you UK pace Erin?

edit: I just realised UK is 2 weeks behind.

Just watched it.

The Saul and Haqqani scenes were brilliant, hopefully many more of those to come. The Carrie drug plot just seemed like a cheap ploy for them to get Brody back for an episode though, although it was pretty good seeing him on the show again.

It was such a fked up scene... I didn't know what to think for a minute

[MTVN]

Thank god that was just a hallucination, thought it would be but was getting a bit worried the longer it went on. Quite interested to see how this guy keeping Carrie is gonna turn out

Nice to have old Lockhart back as well

[lily.]

Yeah, Lockhart is a bastard, but he is an interesting character. This guy who has Carrie is a creepy one though... not sure what his game is at all..

[MTVN]

Another really good episode this week, Lockhart on great form again

Some of it seemed a bit farfetched, like Saul's escape was way too easy just having to get past one guy and suddenly he can saunter off no problem. And the drone thing, I don't get how the Taliban could have so quickly known where the drone was, suppose its either visible from the ground which would make it a very stupid move by the CIA or they're getting a silly amount of help from the Pakistan military for unclear reasons :think:

[lily.]

I read into it that they had help from the Pakistan military. Could be wrong though.

As for Saul.. maybe they didn't see him as a huge threat, cos he is old and doesn't appear strong. Also, since they have him out in the middle of nowhere, they maybe didn't see the need for additional guards..

I liked the epi though, and I'm glad they didn't let Carrie suffer too long with the messed up meds..


Also, did anyone notice that they effed-up during the scene where they were all in the meeting watching the video of Saul. It switched from being Saul's face to being a shot from further back where you could see their camera... I don't think it was deliberate.

[Locke.]

Oh ****, those final 5 minutes were like an episode of 24

Get out of there quick Lockhart!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Don't let Haqqani get you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Forgot Quinn was still at the embasy too, looks like he'll be breaking that 8 episode streak without adding to his kill list next week.

Yes, obviously the entire theme of this season is that the Pakistani military/ ISI is helping the Taliban. How is that not obvious to anyone watching?

[MTVN]

No Homeland this week???

https://vine.co/v/O1e6HeeivXF

[lily.]

So glad TWD was good this week... cos I'm really missing HL.

I'm watching old epi's just now though, cos my daughter hasn't seen HL and is watching from the start, so I'm watching with her. It's just as good second time around. :)

[Locke.]

Quinn >>>>

Can't believe they killed Fara, thought out of everyone in the embassy she was second most likely to live after Quinn. Glad that Quinn has gone rogue though and finally caught that ISI operative from earlier in the season.

[lily.]

I was very shocked at Fara...

Heartbreaking for Max though.. it's been fairly clear he was in love with her..

I love that Quinn has gone dark though.. this could be a massive plotline for him and he has been quite underused so far.

I read that there's a big death coming up in the finale... people are speculating that it will be Saul... ISTG it better not be..

[Locke.]

4x11

So close...

Looks like this entire Haqqani plot may turn into one huge US conspiracy, which would fit perfectly with the conversation Saul had earlier in the season with one of the ISI operatives (I think it might have been Khan, actually).

I know... this is some serious twist... And, Lockhart is getting very paranoid.. and now we know why.. jfc... brilliant episode... can't wait for the finale..

[MTVN]

Oh shiiiiiitttttt I didn't see that coming. When Dar Adal popped up again on the "previously on Homeland" I did presume he'd become involved somehow but this is messed up, I can't really see how they're gonna make sense out of it

Hopefully Lockhart saves the day, best character this season by far

I love Lockhart too... I remember at first hating him but he's got such range to his character. I think that whatever is going down, the plan is for Lockhart to take the fall for it..

[lostalex]

it's been a slow burn for most of the season, but holy god damn the few eps have been AMAZING. such a good show.

and i really wanted Carrie to pop that piece of **** right there on the street, but that british pakistani guy stp[[ed her. i can't imagine things ending well for him./ that evil pakistani woman he's always with will kill him i think. there's no way he
s getting out of this alive.

It's turned out to be a great season though. i don't miss Brody at all. (i do miss Quinn in my bed though omg! ugh! i want him so badly. i'
m defnitel;y hotter than that fat chick he ****ed)

Gotta agree with you about Quinn... he's ridiculously hot.

[lily.]

That was a really disappointing finale tbh.

[lostalex]

That was a really disappointing finale tbh.

I agree, it was reeeeeally slow and boring. I didn't give a crap about Carrie and her mom at all. Such a boring and long sequence.

[erinp5]

OMG!! Dar Adal was in the car with Haqqani. .... and he was Quinn's mentor what is going on ?

UdjtFm5NFsI

[Locke.]

Well that was an anticlimactic finale

Only 3 things happened really, 2 of them we already knew would happen (Quinn not quitting and Saul getting back in the agency) and one of them was the most utterly boring plots of all time with Carrie and her mother. The actress playing her mother is terrible as well. Oh well, very good season on the whole.

[lily.]

A lot of people were saying (in reviews etc.) that the second to last episode should have been the finale, as the actual finale felt more like a 'first episode of a new season'. I have to agree.

[lily.]

OMG!! Dar Adal was in the car with Haqqani. .... and he was Quinn's mentor what is going on ?

That was my reaction exactly lol

[Locke.]

Season 5 is being set 2 and a half years later, set in Europe (most likely Germany), and Carrie is no longer CIA.

Big news on opening night at PaleyFest: In what EP-director Alex Gansa called a “tiny, tiny teaser,” he revealed that Homeland Season 5 will jump forward 2 1/2 years and that Claire Danes’ Carrie Mathison will “no longer be an intelligence officer.” He also said the Showtime drama will be shooting the show in Europe, “probably in Germany.”

Well.... That was a nice season opener.... The 2.5 year jump is weird, but I think it will work.

[arista]

on now

[Locke.]

Just caught up, very good season so far.

Spoilers up to the end of Episode 9

Like I said, very enjoyable season so far but there are a couple of things that come across as very weak writing... Unless they're addressed and explained in the next 3 episodes.

Early in the season, Quinn is on the verge of death after being shot, and he sneaks out to go and die alone so that Jonas cannot save him. Carrie comes back, finds out, etc. She then makes no effort at all to find him, hasn't even mentioned his name since this episode. Of course she has been busy, but there is no way at all that she'd have made 0 effort to send someone to look for him.

Dara and Saul... Both very good friends, yet at the first sign of danger Dara just turns his back on Saul and thinks he is a mole. There was literally no evidence at all when he ordered Saul to be traced. Dara has come across as a very weak character all around this season tbh, which is a shame because he's always seemed smart and ahead of the game. If he falls for Allison's lies from the end of the most recent episode then I'm happy to see him be replaced for next season.

Apart from those 2 things it has been a good season, the reboot they've done has worked out well although I'd like to see Lockhart and Max return at some point. It's quite odd seeing it be set in Europe and playing on the backdrop of Syria/ISIS with what just happened in Paris recently. I imagine the next couple of episodes will take that even further too, with that terrorist cell trying to launch that attack in Berlin.

I hadn't realised it had started, but I'm glad it has. Homeland must be one of the best programmes ever.
