I still have to clean up the vomit on the floor that I upchucked during the whole destined paths conversation in the safe house.
When I saw the Four months later come up I thought great, can't wait to be caught up with how Carrie's doing in month 8 of her pregnancy.
Lockheart has no reason to offer her the station chief job. It makes zero sense. Bang the audience over the head that the Senator doesn't agree with the current way the Company is being run and sees Carrie as an uncontrollable analyst who is mentally ill and disobeys orders --> Youngest Station Chief in history in the premiere post in the Middle East.
They should reboot only with Quinn, Dar Adall and Saul and spin of Carrie into her own show so we don't have to suffer the next few season of her struggling to tell the Brody's about their new half sister. Can't wait to learn about what it's like being a career woman raising a child in Istanbul.

Yep, I have to agree with a lot of that. The only way the 4-5 episodes revolving around Dana make any sense would have been for Brodie to live, stay in the show and the Brodie/Dana dynamic continues to develop in the coming seasons. To have all of the teenage drama garbage only to lead up to a 3 minute scene of Brodie and Dana meeting and then Brodie dying shortly after is just pure trash writing.
I don't have an issue with killed Brodie off, but IMO they clearly missed 3-4 much better opportunities to have done it in the past; this was probably the most anticlimactic way they could have killed off the star of their show. And to do it with 25 minutes left in the episode? And then the last 20 minutes after that, to close out the season, are pure junk that you might find on some B rate network drama? Crap, pure and utter crap.
If their goal was to leave me with zero to interest in watching the show moving forward, they did a pretty good job of that. Otherwise, massive fail.
