Yeah ... I was kind of underwhelmed by that episode last night and I was really looking forward to it.

Plus, no believable follow through on Saul's emotional state. By the time they're getting into the SUVs he's fine. They didn't need to follow through on that to serve where they're pushing the story, so why bother.
Edit: Another long standing issue I have is that they've never even attempted to come up with a plausible reason for the Ambassador's husband stealing intel, something this whole season has hinged on.

for the Lockhart thing it makes sense because he's a career politician who snaked himself in to the role, the ambassador knew not to give the list, and if it was any CIA there (Carrie/Saul etc.) they wouldn't either
I think the Husband tied in to Sandy trading info, they haven't really explained it but it did say they were friends, so he could have sold it to him as the right thing to do

Great show, but the last episode was really strange. If Quinn knows they have the briefcase of important assets, why doesn't he start shooting a lot faster? Just seems strange that he would wait that long.
Also, the TV in the vault showing the view of the terrorists executing the people out front would be turned off. I know they are trying to add to the suspense, but anyone with half a brain could have seen that.

The realism in Homeland went away somewhere early in season 1. I no longer care, I just enjoy the performances.

Another quibble - when did Max and Fara integrate into the main CIA group? Last time I remember seeing them, they were still in Carrie's secret offices. Did they get parachuted in with no explanation just so Fara could be killed?

That's more of an indictment as to the current state of TV.

Dragging Brodie along for 2 more seasons than was necessary made the show jump the shark IMO. Killing him off has allowed it to comeback as a very watchable and enjoyable show IMO.

TV has never been better than in the last ten years. Not sure how that could even be debated. I will say that the last year hasn't been stellar, but there's still plenty of great shows out there.

SPOILER ALERT
Haqqani is actually a CIA operative.
PLOT TWIST!
Haqqani is actually Carrie's Half Brother.
Carries father was stationed in Pakistan in the early 70's and that is where he met Haqqani's mother.

Oh it is an amazing show. Just think they could advance the plot in a more believable way.

Imo...a very underwhelming finale to one of the best seasons (later half) of a television series.

Homeland writers seem to be unaware that they are the missing piece preventing Homeland from being an elite drama like it was in season 1.

wow ... what a complete dud of a season finale. Like seriously, you pick now to do a throwaway episode on her mother?
Jesus christ.

It might be the worst episode of a cable drama I've ever seen relative to the episodes that preceded it.

That episode actually has me debating with myself as to whether I'm out on Homeland. I think I might be out on Homeland. This show is good when it's spooks and targets. It's awful when it's everything else. It needs to stay in its lane.
