That whole mother angle last season was just a time waster/horrible writing.
I agree that this season has been easy to watch.
Sad that there's only one more episode though.

Ugh, not a fan of the actor that played Jonas, or whatever his name was; every scene with him dragged. Other than that, it was a pretty good season finale, and I agree it would have been a decent way to wrap up the show. A little ambiguity never hurt anyone.

OK season. Time to wrap it up next season I think. Carrie was annoying as ever.

Buuuuump.
Anyone still watch this? Really don't like what they've done with Peter Quinn's character.
I think this show has run its course.

I bailed after season 4. Having said that... the season 3 finale, "The Star", remains one of my favourite episodes of television ever, and I watch a ton of TV. That's not to say it was objectively a fantastic episode; In the last couple years I've grown and can now do a much better job of critically assessing dramas, so if I were to watch it for the first time now it wouldn't have near the impact. I don't think a single episode of TV has ever hit me as hard as The Star did.

For real? He's by far the best part of this season, actually pretty much everyone/everything else is bog standard Homeland been there done that.

Yeah I'm not a fan of the crazy vet angle (PTSD? Brain damage? Too many inconsistencies in how they portray his injuries) and the constant pining for Carrie.

The season is decent. Started out kind of slow, but you can always count on Homeland to get pretty intense as the season goes along.

I'm actually liking this season, but I agree that the Peter thing is a pretty meh. At least they've stated now that he had a stroke which makes a lot of the portrayal make a little more sense. I was confused as to why he was so physically debilitated as a result of PTSD.
The spy stuff has always been more interesting in this show anyway. So I'm glad this season isn't so much about Carrie and more about a plot.

Strange season finale. Now there is an evil president on board? Ok...

Carrie still by far the weakest part of Homeland. I wish they had the balls to cut her out and just make a new plot per season.
Season 7 has been good up to this point.

Not a fan of the current plot lines.
Agree - the Carrie character is just awful. Extremely tired of the bipolar/drugs/sister thing that's gone on for years. Lather rinse repeat. Time to eliminate her and go in a different direction.
Keep Saul (obviously as he is an exec producer).

I just found out that the actor who plays Saul was Montoya in The Princess Bride, and my mind is forever blown.

If you look up his music (mostly Broadway musicals) your mind will be further blown. The man is a pretty versatile performer.

Yep, he is. He actually quit acting for awhile to concentrate on singing.
