HOMELAND...anyone still watching? — Page 2

Last night's show, From A to B and Back Again, was another shocker.

I used to root for Carrie and refer to her as "Our Girl." But after the latest fiasco, I don't know how or if the writers will get me back on Team Carrie again.

Looks like from next week's preview the Bipolar card (Switched out meds?) will be played.

Did the ISI really not know Carrie was bipolar? Didn't Saul spill the beans on that?

Kudos to Mark Moses, making his part deliciously slimy.

Carrie's killer clam strikes again, taking out Nick Brody first and now Aayan. She's witnessed the assassinations of both due in large part to her machinations and trysts for the homeland. For her, a fate worse than a vote of no confidence from her team would be to give into self-doubt. The latest turn of events has to be chipping away at her self-confidence. This series remains groundbreaking on several levels.

Wow That came out of nowhere .

If that wasn't a hallucination, it would have been the last episode I ever watched...

It has been renewed for another season.

The roller coast ride continues.

Mandy Patinkin, action man. Sitting in the courtyard, holding the gun, I couldn't watch.

Anyone else notice how much Mark Moses looks like John Lithgow? They should play brothers in something.

I don't miss Brody or his brood. Give me more Tracy Letts!!

Fairy God Mother?

Carrie would take her out (in a drone attack) in an instant if it interfered with her job.

Wow, what an intense episode.

The only thing that bothers me is Carrie's speech to Saul where she reminds him to think of the kid and that "we're not like them." Yet she was willing to kill Aayan (technically not a kid, but darn close) without missing a beat.

So, we're not like "them" Carrie?

Note to self: Do not play poker with Mark Moses.

"13 hours in Islamabad" was the most thrilling episode all season!!!

Dennis is pathetic but I'm waiting to see if he has some more tricks up his sleeve.

I really hope Tracy Letts and Laila Robbins get Emmy noms.

So, I binged a bunch of eps this week and got caught up. Have to agree: s4 is a massive improvement over s3. I feel like we've even got less Carrie-Cry-Face per episode than in prior seasons - a positive in my book. I kind of wish they'd had Raza "bedroom eyes" Jaffrey do a Pakistani accent instead of such a strong British accent. They're basically saying, the only reason he's sympathetic to the Americans is because he was raised in the UK. I'd find his character far more interesting were he a Pakistani native. I suppose the producers think we can't relate to someone with a non-Western accent.

Action packed thrills are what this show does best and that's clearly what they should stick to moving forward. The constant thrill ride also makes it easier to ignore the ridiculous plot holes and ridiculously unbelievable circumstances these characters find themselves in. I mean, one small example? The former CIA Director and now executive for a multi-national security firm is traveling to a Pakistani airport without any security? Not even one security guard? Seriously?

YES, to the more "Martha sneer"!
