I got suckered back in by the last few min of the penultimate episode only to endure more meh. Meh Homeland meh!

That situation at the train station got resolved faster than Smaug in the battle of five armies

Probably out on season 6

Wtf will next season be about? I wonder will they ever go back to trying to get the Saudi dude from last season who killed his Nephew. They never closed that chapter.

I'll still be on deck though:beli:.

Nah, Dar basically said they were going to use the Saudi dude to their advantage last season now that he was in power and would work with him instead of killing him.

While the finale wasn't as bad as last season, it certainly didn't leave me waiting in anticipation for the next season. Homeland really doesn't hit a climax in the season finale anymore, and instead focuses on character moments and wrapping all the story arcs up.

Resolution to the train plot was anti-climatic and done away quickly.

I never really cared about the journalist chick, Newman, or Jonas/Carrie relationship :yeshrug:

Otto's creepy come-on to Carrie seemed to come out of nowhere and I doubt he will be back next season. Dodged a bullet and doesn't even know it :whew:

The resolution to Allison's story was pretty meh :ld:. Saul getting Ivan to give up her location was a good scene and he got his revenge in the end :demonic:, but all the momentum her character had just faded out.

Carrie coming to a different place made sense to me, which I was surprised when Saul was shocked she didn't want to come back :dwillhuh:. If I was her, all would be tired of all that CIA drama and just want to chill somewhere with my daughter. The CIA is all that Saul's old ass has left, but there would still be time for Carrie to carve out a different path. Listen to Quinn and go away from the darkness.

The nature of the show requires some way though to have her come back :francis: or be involved in stopping a threat and now with Quinn dead it has one less interesting character.

I guess we really don't know if Quinn is dead, but the sure hinted that Carrie was gonna pull the plug. A Quinn-less season would suck. I dunno what they'll do next year, but I know I'll be watching (even though it probably will be meh again).

Meh finale to a meh season. 7/10

It was ok I guess. It was live action what they did to Allison though, I ain't expect that shyt. That was more of Saul getting the last laugh than anything. I doubt the CIA cosigned that shyt :pachaha:.

I'll still be on deck though:beli:. More due to the fact that I NEVER just up and quit shows. If I go thru 1 full season, I'm usually down for the ride rather good or bad :yeshrug:
for me it's two. i can give up on a show after watching one season. if i watched sons of anarchy to completion, for damn sure i'm watching this 'til the end.

Good god, the ruskie ethered the fukk outta Sauls ass!!! U could literally see his soul leavin his body when Ivan told him how easy of a mark he was, talkin bout he middle aged, recently divorced, goddamn :damn: that shyt was deep as fukk n personal, I knew Saul was either gonna be the one to personally clap Allison, or at least be present when they did.

Will prob be new group/cell they are after, since 3 the seasons are loosely based on the previous season. I forget sometimes about Brody, its come so far from season 1.
