Homeland fans, next month, it's back 😯!

[Cocolapew]

It's on early February, I'm not sure if that's USA or the UK as well, but I think we usually get it shortly after.
Can't wait for Carries crying face to be back on my screen 😣😟

Ha! DH finally agrees that Homeland is not utter schlonk and is watching it avidly.
This bodes well for us both wfh for the foreseeable from Monday 😬

Maxxxxxx!

Fuckity fuck fuck.

MAX!!!!

Another fab episode.

So do we think Presidential helicopter was shot down or, was it just an accident?

I’m guessing it was a mechanical fault that caused it to go down. Rogue taliban took advantage and shot the second one down.

Juan I think so too.

Taliban leader will be hunted down and get the blame. But where's his disgraced son in all this? Didn't Pakistani lady's men pick him up from side of road?

How max going to get out of this?

So many Qs

Great episode tonight - very tense. Hope Max gets out alive.

Poor max wasn't a good luck charm after all

I wonder if the helicopters were a case of Russian interference?

Poor max won’t stand up to taliban brutality! Has he ever been in such a situation? I suppose he was in the embassy when haqaani took everyone hostage and killed farah. But this isn’t haqaani. And he’s on his own!

"Have you got the black box?"
" It's orange"
😅

It's quite unfortunate that the black box is orange when you're trying to escape the Taliban.

Having said that, do military helicopters carry black boxes?
Because after the death of the basketball player, it was mentioned that helicopters didn't. But maybe it's different for the air force.

I had a quick Google, it looks like military ones do. Probably a helicopter with the President on it would be required to have one.

Also, the soldier whose Afghan girlfriend is pregnant. Surely that wouldn't be allowed by her family or under the Taliban?

It's very different to Samira's family being outraged that she's been a single widow for a year.

Where will the story go?
Did the soldier tamper with the helicopter?

Did you notice how they introduced a hapless president?

Don't think that the new president will be president for long

I don't agree. I think he'll be a major cause of problems in the response to this crisis.

I think Ken Barlows son might push him out a window. I would.

Have you got the black box?"
" It's orange"

I loved that too!

Pregnant Afghan woman. The soldier said to Carrie “ you can’t just leave her. her family will kill her” so presumably she has been in hiding while pregnant.

I suspect ken barlows son might only need to leave a window open and new pres will guide himself towards it.

Do you mean King Ecbert?😁

Oh well if he's a king he could just cut his head off.

YES!

TheSpottedZebra - C4+1 or alternatively C4 then ITV+1???

Really bad on names but my take on this:

Yes crash was a technical fault. Also note we never saw faces of supposedlly dead presidents.

Max will be captured but in fact it will be men under the command of the one who Saul warned to leave as he would be blamed for crash.

Max will become pawn in negotiations. Man who Saul warned (whose son is trying to kill him) will find out from his men that presidents helicopter was an accident.

Vice President, now President, who like many politicians is happy sniping from the sidelines will do something really silly -and White House minders will get him declared insane-

Real President will be found in cave and return triumphant to US due to some super heroine escapade by Carrie. She will then retire, her name cleared -possibly with cuddly Russian as a companion (she did get emotionally attached to him but now doesn't remember)-
