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 😣😟

Jogging Beards you say. I tried to find a picture of them but no luck. I did find some lovely pictures of Raza Jeffrey. He may have been my favourite too look at.

I've taken to watching films about the US Seals/Delta force in the Middle East. There's always lots of beardy, muscley blokes in it.

Any recommendations in particular coco?

Saul was good. Coco was wrong. The End.

I think I was expecting a twist. Like Anna turning out to have been connected to Carrie somehow (previous mission from earlier seasons etc) so that she wouldn’t want to hand her name over to the GRU. I wanted there to be a better connection to Anna rather than us just having known about her for 2 episodes.

I have lost myself in many hours of googling the back catalogue of Mandy Patinkin, and getting a bit hot under the collar over his performance as Inigo Montoya in The Princess Bride
Farewell, dishy, upright Saul. Ahhh...

Yes Chandler, I'd have liked more tie-in with Anna.

I was expecting the other woman in the posh toilets at the jazz gig to be Jenna.

I also didn't properly hear the muttered bit about counter terrorism, did anyone rewind? I was convinced that theatre was going to blow up. Bit disappointed it didn't. Still got her Wall of Crazy though.

All a bit implausible though, surely the US wouldn't just forget about her?!

I can't remember any names of films
13 Hours was the last one I watched it was very good. They are mostly based on true events, going to watch Black Hawk Down next.
Jack Ryan on Amazon is also very good, bit like Homeland.

Was great - I loved it!

I am sad that Saul and Carrie’ll likely never see each other again

They you might , SaulBerenson - they're both conveniently not dead, and the series may well be picked up by Netflix...

Yes, am pleased they are both still alive. Pretty sure they will return.

I'm not entirely sure about the ending. Would the Russians end up trusting Carrie. And though not directly part of the Carrie/Saul story-line, I would have liked to seen what happened afterwards in the Oval Office, surely there must have been some fallout from the advice given by Mr Danes

I was waiting for Brodie to return from the dead the whole time

Me too chatwoo

I settled for the clip of him at the start. He was the best homeland character.

@ChandlerIsTheBestFriend
When it got to the last episode, I thought they're really going to have to get a move on with the whole Brodie reappearance thing... I

I should have probably worked it out before that point!

I would have liked to seen what happened afterwards in the Oval Office, surely there must have been some fallout from the advice given by Mr Danes

We did. It was very subtle.
The President asked King Ecbert to ring whoever to call off the attack. Not Mr Danes.

I was expecting the other woman in the posh toilets at the jazz gig to be Jenna.

No, no, no. Carrie is a source recruiter. She was obtaining information from that woman. Not sending.

I liked the ending.

The dilemma of the greater good, Carrie and Saul falling in different divides: stop the war or stop the Russian threat to the USA and world.

Same root values, different decision. Saul old school loyalty to country, Carrie prepared to be more pragmatic in trading with the Russians (assisted if course by her own compromised status).

I was half expecting WeirdBeard Danes to be an Islamist plant, stirring up war. The look on his face when he saw his warmongering come to naught....

Well I've slept on it and still think Carrie should have died, preferably being shot by Saul, but the Russians would have done.

Whose wall was it at the end - carrie or yevgeny’s? If it was carrie’s how was she keeping it secret from yevgeny?
And how was she able to post the book? So many unanswered questions.
Frannie didn’t get much of a look in in carrie’s decision making process, it seems.

Given her involvement with the Russians, if she had been killed would she have become a star on the wall at Langley?

I think the wall was Carrie’s-wasn’t it all the stuff going in the book? So Yevgeny would know about it.

Did anyone think Yevgeny was very chilled for a spy? Maybe just his height, he just seemed to lope around unbothered by anything.

The wall will have been for the book, I expect.

Although the jazz scene was shown at the same time, I think it precedes her sending the book. That's when she finished it, not published.

Poor little Franny. They’ll be spending a lot of money on her therapy.
