Given where the world is today - Trump is back as President, Russia is clawing it's way back into Ukraine and the talks of a NWO with Israel, Saudi Arabia, and even India thrown into the mix; if day it's a pretty good time for a fresh season. Carrie is anyway supposed to be in Russia, there's so much that she could do with Saul back home. I say supposed to be in Russia, coz you could very well have the new season with her being in Saudi Arabia or even India and then we get the back story of how she's found her way there from Russia. So many possibilities!

Just started watching Homeland, a few episodes into Season 1. Are there podcasts or reaction channels for this show? Especially those that start at Season 1, I found a few podcasts but they start at later seasons.

One of my fav movies

He can get it. That is all.

Would everything be different if Quinn killed Brody? Carrie would be distraught but she wouldn’t have had to see Brody hung and suffer and Brody wouldn’t have been framed for the CIA bombing. Interesting canon divergence to consider.

Anyone remember what the substance’s called that Dar orders to give Brody to speed up his withdrawals? I remember one of the marines saying it’s outlawed in the US and cause terrible side effects, as we who watched the show saw haha.

I just thought about that scene which I find funny, of course Dar knows all bout that shit and doesn’t give a fck about the side effects it will cause Brody. I think it starts with the letter “I” atleast… much appreciated

I’m at the end of season 6. Are s7 and 8 worth watching even tho Quinn is gone? Is he “present” in them somehow, such as flashbacks or in conversations?

I’m shocked, seriously, I’m emotionally devastated.

Also - why do I see no talks of a Peter Quinn prequel? Is there any hope it might happen?

I'm rewatching seasons 7 and 8 and I just spotted Sally Langston the Vice President in Scandal as President Warner's wife.

Also the troublesome Mr. Sweeney from the Good Wife still troublesome as Senator Sam Paley (season 7), he also appeared on The Americans as one of the KGB illegals.

She was right about Brody, but because she needed “some” and fell in love she lost her love for the country and instead seemed the love of a traitor.

For example when in the car, he picks up the phone starts speaking Russian, because he thinks its his handler... Turns out its one of his UI, who asks what the hell is goin on and is panicking because feds are at the front door. Then yevegny tells him to never call him again. So for example, what would happen to such a guy? Sent to prison?

Season One, Episode Two. He’s in the judge’s office (Michael McKean) and is offered coffee. He takes a metal container out of his pocket and drops two pills (each about the size of a half of a tic-tac) in his cup. Just curious if anyone knows what they could be. Medication maybe? But why would you put that in coffee?

Somehow I missed what this video was about.

People said the show decline in season 3. I will argue that it decline after S2ep5. After one of the best episodes of the show ever, it seem the writers ran out of ideas. The second half of season 2 was horrendous. Dana and timothee subplot, the absurdity of the twist in the finale, jessica, carried being kidnapped and than being let go, etc. You get what I mean. The show never really recover and the quality had been inconsistent ever since then. The good season post season 4 seem like a return to form till the anticlimactic season finale, season 5 had only two good episodes and the rest was mid, series finale being great, etc

S04E07 8:13 and 8:50

Possibly OTC in Pakistan, looks like 2mg too.

First I will say that this show is very well written. Claire Danes does a great job with playing Carrie and I’ll give credit on her saving the day time and time again.

She’s done many things that have been upsetting and frustrating to watch as a viewer, but this takes the cake.

I’m on season 7 and the Russian conspiracy is unfolding. After Saul told her to back off and mentioned the conspiracy to her and she’s connected the Dante dots, SHE BRINGS HER CHILD INTO HIS HOME. She puts herself at risk all the time and I’ve come to expect that, but to bring Franny into the home of a suspected Russian agent goes beyond thoughtless.

I’m just angry at her. Until proven otherwise, I think that she needs to lose custody of Franny and Franny should live with her aunt and be in a stable household.

Update: finished the scene where Saul and the SWAT team stormed in on them. Very cringe.

Has anybody watched it? Somewhat similar to homeland, and certainly I think everyone who enjoyed homeland would like it. CIA based, with lots of dodgy goings on. Anyone who has actually seen it, do you agree Joubert kinda gives Tasneem vibes on more extreme scale?🤣

Didn't he use 2 bullets to kill that deer?

S02E06

I was rewatching season 5 and landed on the episode where was speaking to Otto During about Carrie and he brought up the fact that Otto's grandfather was a N@zi and benefitted from the Holocaust. Personally I feel Saul had no right to lecture During about his family ties considering that the Agency he works for, the CIA has recruited well known Nazi war criminals after it's creation in '47. If you don't believe me, search Reinhard Gehlen and the Gehlen organisation and numerous other declassified CIA documents that stated the recruitment of former SS, Gestapo and Wehrmacht soldiers after the division of Germany. Anyway, Gehlen was a Wehrmacht general in the Eastern front during WW2 and surrendered himself to the Americans after the war and his organisation was used by the CIA to spy on the Soviet Union behind the Iron Curtain. The organisation had well known war criminals in the Eastern Front with connections to Hitler's inner circles. All in all, I just needed to rant about this, because this show has a way to point out hypocrisy when least expected and further criticising US foreign policy since the cold war.

What is wrong with the people that run the Emmys and Golden globes. Rupert did an outstanding job with the character and his last season was absolutely heartbreaking. He should have won an award especially for season 6. That's all I have to say he was robbed.

Just a shame acting and dialogues are so poorly written. Oh, and storyline.

I am rewatching season 8 and thinking. This has to be the best drama ever made. I know everybody is all Breaking Bad or Wire. Breaking Bad no, Wire still may be slightly better. And West Wing was a little optimistic but for me it is between West Wing and Homeland.

But my thinking, why Homeland didn't get better recognition than what it did. It dealt with real issues across the board in a realistic way. Mom leaves her kid. The entire show is basically about Muslims and Muslim extremists. Government illegal actions. Domestic terrorism. Pretty much covers every negative thing you can think of, in the best possible way. So I can see it getting a little hate. But man what a great show.

If you were to come up with any show that covers serious shit, what could you possibly come up with that is better than Homeland?

Rewatcing S4 and I just cringe whenever Kiran has screentime. I don't know what is worse, this acting or Dana's incessant hand twirling...
