HOMELAND is fantastic TV this season.. if you haven't checked it out yet.. do so
That is all.
That is all.
OT: HOMELAND this season
- Thread starter GoodOl'Rutgers
- Start date
It’s funny they have a female president thinking Hillary was going to be elected. If they knew, they would have someone like a Trump as President.
You do.. 1000% better this season.
You will likely need to review all the crap that ended last season.. because the story kinda takes off from there... but is much, much, better.

There is no way in hell someone as ****ed up as she is, NOT taking her meds, would ever be able to (consistently) do and get away with the shit that she gets away with, let's be real....but it makes for great tv that's for sure!
I thought the show was failing until the last 2 episodesand it became interesting. I thought last season was very good.
But she is taking her meds.. and has been. minor *SPOILER*.. it was suggested earlier this season that her meds might be less effective
My daughter worked on the crew this season. Primary filming location was Richmond, VA. I am an extra on the final episode this season - play a US senator.
No she isn’t ...not the ones she was put on because the lithium was no longer working...NOR is she sleeping. She’s literally doing everything wrong. If she was taking them, properly, she’d be crashing hard which is why she’s NOT taking them (and making her batshit...).

This show never lets me down (unlike a certain other popular series on AMC). Seven seasons in, and still going strong. I love Carrie Mathison.
The show has always been at its best when it’s not all about Carrie. The storylines this season have accomplished that and made it so much more enjoyable
love the show, but Quinn dying sucked. he was the best character on the show. Carrie's character is getting old. She has no job but is somehow still acting like a CIA agent, not sure how that works.
Ha! No, didn't get to see Claire Danes. The scene involved a different character.
Reading a great book by Dale Brown Price of Duty ha has a Hillary type character as President giving up eastern Europe to the Russians.... so far off ts comical as Trump leg humps Putin weekly
This is an excellent show, but these days the events depicted
are less convoluted than is current reality. From the possible collusion between Trump and Putin to the brazen Russian nerve gas attack on Russian exiles in London, what is happening right now exceeds any screenwriter's imagination. Life is not only imitating art but is reaching new heights of absurdity.

Was thinking the same thing! She's amazing, and that chin-quivering cry is her signature.
You did get to see the woman playing the president though (actress Elizabeth Marvell)? She is very good.
just reread your posts.. final episode?.. I will stop guessing now as I don't want to know the answer.
Spoiler: when the chief of staff can order the joint chiefs of the military to launch missiles without the President or Congress knowing about it, that's when the show lost all credibility for me.
I love the show and I am current. Carrie surely needs her meds. I feel bad about her daughter/situation but she brings it on herself. Ive seen Clair Danes on talk shows & he is remarkably laid back...she is a good actress.
My thought on Homeland this season is that it is a well-reasoned, well-written show. Horrible things happen.. but there is always a reason.. a believable reason.
Take Carey and her kid... The only person not acting reasonably (for a sane person) is Carey.. and there are good explanations for that (insanity.. illness.. drive to do her job and protect the homeland).
Soo many times in lesser shows the audience can easy think/say something like.. "Why doesn't she just do X?".. or "Why the hell did she do Y?".. and that the only reason for some action, some "decision".. is to advance the story to the next planned out scene. Nothing seems natural about it.. (looking at you TWD).

Great show but very tired of Carey (and Clare Danes). Glad to hear it's nearing the end. Time to finish this.
