I watched that episode and thought to myself "I bet if I stopped watching Homeland forever right now, I wouldn't miss anything interesting."

For contrast, I watched the episode and thought "Homeland is becoming more and more like :twentyfour:".

I loved me the first Hitman but do we really need a sequel to it? Why not reboot it and start fresh?

So that is really where this show is going? Carrie is loving the asset again? And now there will be a whole Quinn is jealous storyline? gently caress Showtime! Have they ever made a series worth finishing? Dexter sure wasn't worth it, Weeds was so bad I couldn't finish it, and now Homeland too?

Has Showtime ever had a 1 season show? :v: Because all their shows go downhill at an amazing rate after the first season.

I only just noticed that they're filming the Pakistan scenes in South Africa (or at least, I think they do, based on a SA government department logo in the credits), and I must say they're making it look pretty good. I think it looks a lot more real than the Israel-filmed Beirut scenes in season 2.

Didn't read the first couple pages, cause I don't want to be spoiled.

But I could have sworn the show ended last season, I had no idea we had a 4th coming.

Considering the main character was killed... am I wrong?

Brody died in Season 3. But Carrie is pretty clearly the main character.

When there's no more Damian Lewis, Mandy Patinkin has taken a backseat and the Life of Pi kid is Carrie's new fuckbuddy.....I think it's pretty safe to declare that this show has jumped the shark. There's no reason to stick around anymore.

I thought the episode was fine. Not super exciting but nothing to make me want to stop watching the show.

Second half of season 2- first half of season 3 was the low point for this show. I think this season has actually been pretty enjoyable so far.

This season just doesn't do it for me. Given that it's a completely new and unrelated story like, except for the fire extinguisher baby, it should have been pacing like the first season again.

The second Life of Pi kid came into her house whatever at the end I hoped it was gonna go like it did and it was glorious, the shark has been jumped and I cant wait to see how much of a train wreck this series can be. I hope Saul finds out Carrie's loving another asset and just finally gives up on her, shakes his head and walks off into the sunset and the show ends.

I don't think anything has been as ridiculous as that moment. Well maybe some of the other things in the second half of Season Two...

Mandy Patinkin said they have been filming in or near Cape Town when he was on Colbert a couple of weeks back.

Pretty much this. This season is basically a reboot so it should have been balls to the walls intense or at least interesting. Instead it has been pretty slow with a bunch of terrible plots I don't give a gently caress about.

She clearly had a thing for Brody though as in she was in love with him. I doubt that's the case here - she's using sex to manipulate an asset to get what she wants and she doesn't actually give a poo poo if he's killed. I mean she already stated that she lied to him so he isn't going anywhere and they'll "hide behind him" until they find the baddies.

Because in the Homeland universe, if you love mixing sleeping pills with large glasses of booze, have sex with terrorists (and become impregnated by one), and have gone through years of psych treatment for an intense case of manic-depressive behavior, the CIA will reward you with the job of Station Chief in important areas of the world like Afghanistan and Pakistan.

Because in the Homeland universe, the CIA is the Keystone Kops.

Hey guys, I'm pretty sure Carrie is sleeping with the kid to secure him as an asset, not because she's into him. Don't get me wrong, it's silly, but let's at least be clear on why it's silly
