HOMELAND- Is that a cucumber Quinn or are you pleased to see us? NO SPOILERS PLEASE WE'RE BRITISH

[TheSpottedZebra]

Da.

For someone with a handbag crush fetiche and constantly in high heels, she is remakably efficient in the field.
Not that she'd be able to go running through train stations.

I've now caught up after watching the apprentice final last night. I figured it would be easier to avoid homeland spoilers than apprentice ones.

I agree with so many of the points made.

Why on earth would they trust Hair?!?! She really is nails it has to be said. She is as nails as the others are gullible.

Was the window jump (I also couldn't believe he was left unsupervised!) a way of getting us to believe that even though Saul had a hunch that Alison's target info was off, he was having a crisis of confidence having just lost that man due to ill judgement (stupidity)

The bodyguard was hopeless all round.

Is Carrie going to be the downfall of the lovely Dr man who saved Quinn?

Are they trying to stop us loving Astrid more than Carrie by having her join the gullibility train?!

Having said all that... I still loved it and was in the edge of my seat. I was gutted when it ended!

Good point on Hairs high heels - they really grate on me. Wear flat comfortable shoes for gods sake woman!

A whole day on those stilettos is not going to be doing her knees any favours or help her to catch criminals!

This is her idea of comfortable shoes (well, if they weren't so ugly).

Remember, Hair Is Nails.

Haha! It annoys me A LOT that women on these shows can never wear flat shoes or trainers as anyone sensible would when wanting to catch the bad guys.

Men can go with sensible footwear but women need to flash a toned calf muscle and clack-clack their way around a room in order to get the job done. Grr.

But I love Homeland and it's dubious plotlines. I'll cry next Sunday.

There was a crazy blonde in the tunnel. You, I presume? She nods, sheepishly.

I'm waiting for Carrie to pensively cross her wrists and reveal the Wonder Woman ensemble.

Clearly, Carrie's sensible shoes, ill fitting trousers and ugly bag are much handier for tunnel chases.

Carrie wears (v v loud) mum boots, doesn't she? She'd be crucified on Style and Beauty.

But she is a mum, and she is indeed proving the practicalities of the chunky heel.

My predictions for the finale:

1. Carrie wears her wig again.

2. Carrie saves the world again.

3. Everyone realises they should have listened to Carrie and not hair.

4) Hair loses her hair in some not so tragic accident.

Definitely 2, and 3 is a natural consequence of Saul realising it.
I hope 4 too. As bold as her Russian handler.
Not sure Carrie will have time to put back her wig, though.

I loved how Hair was so fierce but composed and elegant when she was questioning the Professor. I think she's a fab character (but very norty obviously).

Does the tiny terrorist still have his antidote injection? My prediction is that he gives it to Carrie to save her. Saul has evacuated the station so casualties are few.

Hair will be hauled off clutching her handbag with Dar looking wistful.

I watched the last 2 episodes of Bridge (sob) and then Homeland back to back last night. Was all worn out by the end of the night.

Ridiculous episode of Homeland and yet so gripping at the same time Hair was brilliant - so focussed and cold cold cold with her bodyguard and Aziz. Quinn was pukey (not a lot to say about him really), Saul was useless and that journo: somebody shoot her.

God yes, the annoying, pointless and smug journo. She is the the one character I really hated this series. Just so pleased with herself the whole time.

I don't understand the point of her. Is she going to end up being Numan's downfall ? I'm surprised that he's still around.

I want Brody to be alive somewhere ...and save the day

Please can someone shoot the journalist.

And I would love to see Alison escaping in disguise. With Carrie's awful wig or a new Supercuts do. Stuff the millions of dollars and the dacha - what would she do to keep her hair pristine?

I do hope Hair gets away. It will make for a more interesting ending and next series a side project could be about locating and getting her. She also would not be able to keep herself from getting involved - she loves the power play too much. She'll go stir crazy at a dacha.

Does anyone know if there's going to be a next series?
Not sure how much more they can do and it's getting too close to home.
I read yesterday they shot important parts of the last episodes right after Paris.

Yep, Lweji they've confirmed a series 6, and mooted a 7th, but said that there are no further details known ie who's in/out.

Finally caught up!
Like a PP I thought it would be easier to avoid Homeland spoilers than Apprentice ones

FFS SAUL. Why the FUCK would you go on info from a FUCKING DOUBLE AGENT???
And I know Carrie is always right and all, but YOU DONT WORK FOR THE CIA ANYMORE CARRIE. Are you even allowed to carry a gun willy nilly in Germany?
And someone needs to shoot that fucking journalist, she's just a massive pita.
And so many other annoying things.

But shouting at the telly is why I like it

Don't get your hopes up for the last episode. I'm watching it now. Anti-climax + fizzling out for the past half hour now

Gah. Hated the ending, too. They really couldn't be bothered to do a good job with the last episode

Yup Cote.

DH says* it was shite and normally he's very forgiving

*He was watching at home while I was out, I don't think he's the Oracle or anything

Still can't wait though
