In Saul Do We Trust? - Homeland Season 3 Thread

[jwinfield]

to me it seemed like the end of brodys road.. maybe we dont see him again? idk..but i too would like for them to get past him and have a different threat each year 24 style..but for me it was fun to see him one last time(though probably not the last being that this is showtime but you get my drift)

I don't think a new threat 24 style would be the best, since it would fall into the 24 formula, protagonist does crazy shyt, supervisors go , protagonist is proven to be right, they win.

I mean, you can call the people Saul and the new chick are looking for a new threat, but they're still connected to Brody's storyline, they're just moving higher up on the food chain.

@GoldenGlove you were right breh

that shyt was terrible.They done turned my boy into a smackhead and got him chillin with pedos and shyt

and i cant deal with crazy carrie 24/7.When she had her lapses it was cool but we gonna really have to deal with this crazy act every fukking episode.Im just over this shyt now...every storyline is just dumb as fukk IMO.All the directions they couldve went in after the finale last year and this is what they chose?

low key Danas storyline has been the best so far

they really fukked up not turning Brody heel.They should've either had him go thru with the vest in season 1 or had him take responsibility for the bombing in season 2 finale

i might have to just let the season finish and binge watch it one day...im not sure i can keep watching this week after week

 

[muzikfrk75]

What shows do yall NOT complain about? I need to start watching those

 

[obarth]

They got my nikka Brody up in the Caracas projects doped up on heron, rocking a baldie and FUBU hoody? How you go from congressman to this? It really must be a government shutdown

I might could have to start stanning this dude El Nino, doe His daughter is an A1 Venezuelan broad that learns English in the span of a couple scenes and keeps the tight Forever 21 outfits on deck. El Nino (Nino Brown for the duration of his screen time this season) got the thorough click backing him up too

He got the goons murking the police and Muslim families while wearing floral shirts. That's some slick shyt my dudes. nikkas got Battlefield 4 guns while looking like they came straight up out a Hawaiian Sophie video Y'all seen lil man with the AK-74u mean mugging the first time they caught Brody tryna make a run for it Plus they got that fakkit doctor on deck if any soldiers get clapped. Am I the only one that was uncomfortable whenever dude was on screen?They gave dude his own little child servant tooI knew Nino Brown's crew wasn't to be fukked with when they threw dude down mad stories just for stealing a passport and Hublot. Is it that serious, breh?Rent gotta be cheap in the Tower of David if nikkas eating their arroz con pollo with a ripe body not even ten feet away. You telling me you can enjoy your platanos with Manuel decomposing in sniffing range?I peeped that lil bodega they had. Plus I know I'm not the only one that saw the old head getting dome in that roomGot me mad I'm paying crack prices for a studio apartment and simping these hoodrats

If they got wi-fi in the Tower of David I might could have to make that move. Meanwhile they got Carrie building houses out of popsicle sticks in the looney bin?I can't front, that house looked sturdy as a motherfukkerWho ate all those popsicles to make such an architectural enterprise possible, doe?

The show would be interested if they did the following:

- Carrie heel turn. Imagine the protagonist.......being the bad guy (like the Sopranos). Now that would be fun watching
- Discontinue Brody's story arc. Seriously, he serves no purpose anymore now that he has cut ties with the terrorist network and the CIA don't need him anymore. I'm afraid they will reunite him with Carrie and we will have to suffer through those corny love scenes.
- Focus more on the CIA (i.e.: Saul, Quinn, etc.). Abu Nazir is gone. Let's focus on the bigger terrorists now.

The problem with the show is that it's too sentimental. It feels like a soap opera now. We men want action, assassinations, explosions, terrorist attacks, etc. This is becoming a woman's show. I wouldn't be surprised if Showtime sold the rights to the show to Lifetime or Oxygen due to low ratings.

This was the best episode of the season, all jokes aside @GoldenGlove I tend to agree with you on most things TV related but I can't rock with you on this one, breh. You're one of the most level headed dudes in the Boardwalk Empire thread telling nikkas to just wait and see where shyt is headed yet you're in here complaining about Brody taking up screen time or his story going nowhere in the first episode we've seen him so far As for Brody thinking he can walk around and travel scotfree, the purpose behind that was clear. He tried to seek asylum at the mosque and figure things out from there. You pointed out the obvious duality they were going for with Brody and Carrie, but there was a lot more than that going on. They were also mirroring Brody's imprisonment in Iraq to his "imprisonment" in Venezuela. Islam, in part, is what kept him going in both situations. Dude telling him he's a terrorist and not a Muslim was done to show him realizing how bleek his situation is and that not even his faith can help him. In a way he's in a worse situation than he was in Iraq.

 

[The Devil's Advocate]

This was the worst episode of the season and possibly the series.

Just because some guns went off doesn't mean it was good

maybe you didn't understand the dualities

and no, i'm not joking

every single emotion and feeling carrie went through, brody went through.. they basically just explained why they understand each other and connect.

You nikkas realize the same nikkas that wrote for 24 are writing for this show also? They can't help themselves and write that way. I aint watching it,but based on what I am reading here, I aint missing much.

I got that as well, but I just didn't like this episode breh.

I've enjoyed the Season so far though, (unlike most who have been shytting on it)... this one just felt like they were forcing the Brody storyline back into the picture. I know why they felt the need to reintroduce him (because he was a big part of the story in the previous Seasons), it's just that I wasn't feeling the overtop eagerness of him trying to 'escape' at every chance he got. Him teaching the young girl English like Abu's son, the mindgames he was going through in comparison to when he was in Iraq, him finally breaking down and taking the dope himself etc... I mean, I guess the best thing about this was the helplessness it portrayed him in at the end of it. I hope this episode serves as an update for Brody's whereabouts and that they don't keep showing him as a hostage.

I'm really more interested in finding out who the mole in the CIA is, Saul and Tom Cruise's future wife, and Quinn. Carrie going at the CIA is also intriguing to me as well. Brody escaping is the last thing I care about in relation to this story now

 

[obarth]

Tom Cruise's future wife

Don't talk about Farrah da gawdess like that

 

[Hades]

I like the approach they took to including Brody back into the story. This dude can't take a hint. When someone offers you some white, you take the white. Brody still not about that life even though he got shot up something nasty. Did he forget that he choked that dude to death in the forest? Shorty was sprung helping Brody. He should have known it was a set up at the mosque. That Doctor needs to chillllllllllllllll. That was OD. Carrie on her One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest steez. I like the uncertainty of not having an interaction with the rest of the cast. I don't know what's up with the representative who came through. I liked this episode.

 

[pickles]

so you don't watch homeland, but you're in a season 3 thread?

may the ghost of abu nazir haunt you breh.

My nikka I watched Season 1 and 2. I just come to this thread to read @obarth reviews.

 

[Ari Gold Bawse]

@obarth da gawd realised aswell that the girl helping brody couldnt speak a word of english at the start of the ep but by the end was speaking damn near fleunt
