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 😣😟

[JuanSheetIsPlenty]

Does she not know what tonight is??? how rude!

Can you point her towards teens bedroom with some biscuits and the Netflix password?

[TheSpottedZebra]

Well, I didn't do any revision so hope they do a fat recap.

But i am going to pretend that I've been running in mum boots, whilst crying, in solidarity with carrie.

[wineandsunshine]

Oh thank the lord I have just seen this thread!! 3 mins to go!!

Thank-you people of MN!

[Cocolapew]

Eeek!!!

[lazymum99]

What timing. Just finished the last episode. She looks really ill

[JuanSheetIsPlenty]

Are we all ready? Saul snacks in good supply!

[JuanSheetIsPlenty]

Oh that was a really hard punch from fit Russian

[AdultHumanFemale]

Oooo, I have found my people. Just settling poorly DC, will catch up in a bit.
But what's with the Saul snacks? Please explain.

[JuanSheetIsPlenty]

Saul always has snacks for when he is interrogating people so it became a thing on the threads to have snacks while watching

It’s utterly bonkers that they would even dream of reinstating Carrie to the CIA. No way. At very very least they have a duty of Care to her and she is so far from psychologically fit for it. She wouldn’t even pass the psych evals anymore due to everything she has been through and her medical history.

I didn’t really follow all that stuff Saul was saying to the reporters. I think taliban want prisoners realised and Pakistan?? Won’t release them? Not sure how the US is involved.

[Fiderer]

Saul was interrogating a terrorist who'd been held in solitary, no daylight (iirc) and had bad eyesight, no lenses, no glasses, couldn't read.

He brought snacks, baguette, cheese, small plastic bottle of wine. Then when he went to get the sign off for her improved conditions after her information, he lent her his spare glasses so she could read. She used the glass to cut her wrists and died.

Was a kind if ill-judged act.

[JuanSheetIsPlenty]

MAX!!!

He gets everywhere!!

[JuanSheetIsPlenty]

Saul is so fucking reckless with carries mental health. He doesn’t give a shit about her- she’s just useful to him.

[Cocolapew]

I know Juan that what's me and DH just said.
I don't like this new bloke.
Poor Max 😆

[EachandEveryone]

Oh i forgot 😟 ill have to catch up with you all tomorrow

[JuanSheetIsPlenty]

Max always looks like a fish out of water doesn’t he?

I didn’t catch what he is actually doing. Is he in Afghanistan?

[TheSpottedZebra]

You know, I'm going to start suspecting Max.

And that brunette woman, is she being set up as Carrie v2.0, only she'll monumentally fuck her over?

[JuanSheetIsPlenty]

I think brunette woman is supposed to be spying and reporting back on Carrie but they’ve sold it to Carrie as Carrie helping her out.

I think Arman (driving Carrie right now?) will be a casualty.

[Cocolapew]

I'd be a shit spy, my nerves are shattered.
Max looks like Chandler Bing.

[JuanSheetIsPlenty]

fit Russian. BUt no beard.

[JuanSheetIsPlenty]

Me too coco

[Fiderer]

Re Saul and Carrie:

Well there's the Saul not caring about Carrie ("I'm OK with a setback") and there's Saul seeing the Afghan VP Gulom (?) on TV sabotaging the negotiations and realising Carrie is the only person to get him to backtrack as they've worked well together in the past.

And there's series 8, last series and how many episodes do they waste with Carrie stuck in Germany when she could be active in Afghanistan Sorting Things Out.

Great seeing Max with the soldiers "cable guy" indeed, realising he's sorting out serious stuff and respecting him for having been at the Islamabad embassy attack.

Talking of Pakistan, don't trust whatshername who was in it before, from the ISI. Or the CIA brunette, think she'll make a hash of things.

I had to rewind loads of it to figure out what was going on but thought it a really good opening episode. At least not Washington or Berlin.

[JuanSheetIsPlenty]

Fiderer stop being so sensible and pointing out logical things!

[JuanSheetIsPlenty]

I have a wonderful feeling about this series, I won’t say why incase I jinx it but I really am crossing everything I have that I’m right.

[Bobbybobbins]

Good opening episode!

So glad they are back overseas again. Definitely seems like they've spent less time building up and going straight for the action.

Very attractive Pakistani lady is top of my list of suspects. Happy to see fit Russian interrogator again

[Fiderer]

On a less sensible note, I couldn't help notice Carrie's long hair tucked behind her ears made her look a bit Lord of the Rings elvish.
