Homeland the tv series
Re: Homeland the tv series
I think someone here has a crush on him since they post a lot about him.
I stopped watching a few episodes in. Not sure I will get back to it. Veep and The Leftovers start next week so not sure I have room for it.

If this was the last show of the series, I'd be happy with how this episode ended.

I thought his portrayal of Quinn this season was outstanding.
Re: Homeland the tv series
He reminded me of Christian Bale playing the crackhead brother of Marky Mark in that boxing movie. Bale won best supporting actor for that,

Re: Homeland the tv series
Yeah so far its okay but I think that the story has been dragging on for far too long at this point. TWD comes back Sunday so I have a feeling I will be missing the rest of Homeland this season

Re: Homeland the tv series
My wife still follows this show, thus I get to watch it. Carrie has become one of the most annoying, unlikable characters on tv. The bit with a whole ep about her laptop getting ransom hacked ..... ugh. I bet she winds up using the hacker to work for her in future eps.farrellgirl99 wrote:is anyone still watching this? i dont know why i am lol

and carrie's storyline has just been done way too many times.
Re: Homeland the tv series
I thought the last three episodes were the best of what has been a dud of a season. I did not, however, find the final scene very moving since the main character has evolved (or devolved) into such an unlikeable, annoying person.
Did anyone else wonder how Anson (the CIA guy driving Carrie through the Russian streets) got back to the states after he purposefully crashes his car? Was he detained?

Re: Homeland the tv series
Haven't watched the latest ep so I can't comment. I agree the show has taken a hard turn for the better since the O'Keefe subplot was kind of wrapped up and discarded and the Carrie personal drama has been marginalized.chaos wrote:I thought the last three episodes were the best of what has been a dud of a season.

Re: Homeland the tv series
Watched the season ender last night. Sorry, I take back everything I said about the tail end of this season being an improvement. This last ep was pretty stupid. So many wtf moments. Basically, all this work was done at great risk, cost and total lack of viewer credibility only to have Keane resign to jolt the American public out of hyperpartisanism, join hands and sing Kumbaya? And the final bit with bug eyes Carrie at the end ... come on... not a good incentive to stick with the next next season.
Re: Homeland the tv series
I didn't watch last season but now I have nothing to watch so I watched the first three episodes of this season. They were OK.. Luckily I haven't seen that quin guy so hopefully he is dead. I see Carrie is still a horrible mother.

Re: Homeland the tv series
True, but it was better than a majority of the episodes this season. Nevertheless I am going to stick it out until the end. I have no allusions that this show will end on a high note. I am just wondering whether it will beat Dexter with regard to worst final season & finale.Pandemonium wrote:Watched the season ender last night.

Homeland showrunner reveals 'final season' shakeup plan
JAMES HIBBERD April 19, 2018 at 09:53 AM EDT
Homeland is planning some major changes for its final season, including a return to an overseas setting, a big time jump and ditching its President Trump allegories, showrunner Alex Gansa says.
While Showtime has pointedly not yet confirmed the series will end next year, Gansa says the espionage thriller will not only conclude, but will also perform a narrative reset that gets the Emmy-winning drama back to its foreign intelligence roots with a self-contained storyline.
“[Season 7 arranges] all the pieces on the chessboard to make that a proper finale for the story we’ve been telling,” Gansa told EW. “We get to play this last season in D.C with the intention of taking us overseas for one last chapter. Season 8 will be overseas somewhere. We get to play a story with larger national stakes in season 7 and we’ll go back to a smaller intelligence-based season in 8. We get to pull out all the stops this year and then get to the emotional heart of things in season 8.”
Not only that, but Gansa says the Trump administration allegories will be put to rest as well.
Most of season 6 was written during the 2016 election and had Homeland setting up a vaguely Hillary Clinton-esque president with the character of Elizabeth Keane (Elizabeth Marvel). Then writers were surprised when Trump was elected instead. Season 7 continued the previous year’s storyline and has been a largely D.C.-set thriller with Keane becoming an authoritarian figure and the show also including an Alex Jones-like conspiracy thriller character (Jake Weber).
Gansa has been hinting for a couple years that season 8 would be the last for Homeland. Star Claire Danes recently said the same. Yet Showtime has refused to confirm the series will end (a representative said the network has not made a decision beyond season 8), suggesting there could be some reluctance to say goodbye to the network’s longest-running successful drama, or that the network is still trying to convince the show’s talent to do a ninth round. Given Homeland‘s flexible subject matter allowing for many different types of government and terrorism thrillers, it’s not impossible to imagine the network could try for some kind of reboot at some point with a new team.

Re: Homeland the tv series
i thought this season was definitely a step up from the past few years. i thought the penultimate episode was much better than the finale.
i agree with panda that the carrie buy eyes thing was ridiculous. my mom has bipolar disorder and we were both joking about how they shit would not happen where you forget your entire life

Re: Homeland the tv series
Just finished S7 and I liked it. The finale wasn't great and the president spitting on that dude was ridiculous and over the top but overall it was good....and yeah the last scene was funny.
Re: Homeland the tv series
Yeah, they didn't need that 7 months later scene for anything but a reset after Carrie's return. The season itself would have been much better served by ending with the resignation and Carrie in limbo, but I think the next season is meant to be the last so they need a clean set up for that.
