Homeland season 7 is here - February 11th, 2018

After all these years and seasons I’m still hooked. I surely will watch.

I still haven't watched last season.

[quote]I still haven't watched last season

It's on Netflix here in Europe, not sure about the US?

I can't stand the actress who plays the President and the story seems very clichéd but I'll be watching.

[quote]I can't stand the actress who plays the President

Her face is so pinched.

Looking forward to it!

[quote] I can't stand the actress who plays the President

Whenever I see her (and she's been in a few things lately), I think for a second that it's Allison Janney.

I figured it was just a lot of right wing stuff I am not interested in.

I can't wait for the new season! I have the marathon now on TV while I'm doing chores around the house. Lack of good shows on cable! Hope I won't be disappointed!

Too bad quinn is dead. Hope there will new eye candy!

Episode 1 is already up on Showtime app.

Worth tuning in tonight?

R12 I liked it. The first episode isn’t that exciting, but it lays the groundwork for a good development.

wow! thanks for letting me know, i'm watching it NOW!

Re-watching last season and it was great.

I hate Carrie. She treated Peter like crap last season and got him killed. She got everyone else in trouble too. It would be nice if she got killed

Are you guys still watching this shit? I stopped watching after the third season, and I don't know how I made it that long.

I still don’t know why they dragged Quinn’s storyline over an extra season. We didn’t learn more about him, and his struggle demeaned him and the character. The original death gave him dignity.

hey, just watched the first episode of the new season, what happened to that guy at the end of the episode? why did the guard put the gloves in a plastic bag? to preserve the them for what? did the guard kill him?

He was poisoned by the guard who inspected his mouth. The tainted gloves contained the evidence of poisoning. The President (or Linus Roache's character) ordered the killing.

Carrie had two nieces, where is the other one? They were little girls last season, now one of them is 16, wtf. That's some creative timeline they have there.

R21 I think the last time Carrie's nieces were on the show was during season 4? The other niece (Ruby) is older so maybe's she's in college somewhere

New episode tonight!

Anyone watched?

This is terrible. This show never knows what it should be. It just juggles the characters and plot in hope of something turning up. Should have ended after the season in Germany.

No I like this season. It is weirdly anti Trump. It has the whole horrific WH Trump Mob : A fake Bannon, a fascist though female version of Trump just fucking up our Democracy - though at least she is smart and speaks in complete sentences.

When Carrie kicked the shit out of that skinny punk computer extortionist it felt to me that the Universe had righted itself. She was Mueller and #Resistance all rolled into one. “I am CIA, I have your fingerprints, know who you are, know everything about you and I OWN YOU.” I was happy with it. Really.

Carrie posting super secret spy shit on 4chan was ridiculously stupid. The ensuing strip tease and meet up was incredibly uncomfortable to watch. And the pay off at the end was ever so satisfying. Great episode!

[quote] I can't stand the actress who plays the President Her face is so pinched.

You have to cut her some slack. They had only filmed about 2/3 of last season when Trump won the election. Then they had to do a drastic180 degree turn to make the 𝑓𝑖𝑟𝑠𝑡 𝑓𝑒𝑚𝑎𝑙𝑒 𝑝𝑟𝑒𝑠𝑖𝑑𝑒𝑛𝑡 into the villain. That's got to be a strain on the actress.

Two pretty good episodes so far. Plus Claire faked me out with her cam scene. I thought for a moment that after teasing for seven years she would finally do some quick nudity but I really should have known better. I got a chuckle at that.

Okay, goils.....just signed up for Showtime for a month in order to watch. Will check in later. Trying to remember if the love interest from Season 6 is really gone. God, I don't even remember what happened to him. OH YES.....now I do: but I don't know if we saw him actually dead.

I'm a hopeless romantic!! I KNOW HE'LL BE OKAY!!

S07E01 Why doesn't the President wear better clothes?

RE: box of children's coats in Carrie's closet: This will end in tears.

I forgot heroine's name is Carrie. Now I am imagining her as SJP [bold]: (

Dylan Baker looks sickly. I hope he's playing a character with a chronic illness or something. This is why it's better to be a little plump, rather than sinewy, as you age.

The last 15 minutes was AWESOME. Holy shit. That was really, really good. I'm watching it again

why is Carrie broke and living with her sister? she had a house and law practice last season and that billionaire wanting her.

Season 7 Episode 2 - what an odd and unintentionally hilarious episode. Loved it. "I'm CIA bitch, I own your life now!" Carrie goin' awf! (what else is new?)

Characters who want Carrie to stay on her meds are NO friend of the viewer!!

(Yeah, I mean you, Sister Woman.) (Go fuck your whiney-ass husband.)

Yeah R33, Carrie is briggety broke, 38,000 in credit card debt. She worked for a non-profit, she didn't have a law practice, she's not a lawyer. She's also been out of the C.I.A. for years now.

She probably went broke paying for that NYC brownstone, gotta live frugal girl.

[quote]R33 why is Carrie broke and living with her sister? she had a house and law practice last season and that billionaire wanting her.

I don't even remember what happened last season (!!) But Carrie probably wanted her kid to be in the home Frannie was most familiar with (the big white family house), and Carrie can split childcare with her sister, or whatever. Maybe she's fragile and wanted to be close to family.

(Was it ever established this was both sisters' family home? I was just assuming it's where they grew up, and Dead Dad left it to them jointly.) (I imagined that's why the sister was telling the husband to let HER handle it....it's HER house.)

claire danes makes me ill..

her face resembles my cats ass.....

S07E02 Just realized the NeoRight radio host is the husband from MEDIUM. I loved that show!!

[quote]R38 claire danes makes me ill...her face resembles my cats ass.....

You probably need to watch STARDUST twenty times. As I have.

R10

R.I.P Quinn

R5

I enjoyed the episode tonight!

Except Carrie's brother-in-law needs to shut his pie hole.

(That's Patty Duke's son, BTW)

Dante is hotttt! You need Carrie is going to tap.

^ know

Agreed Patty Dukes son’s character must truly STFU.

IT appears that sister may have no idea how Carrie has earned her living. How could this be?? “You are $38,000 in debt and have several Aliases...”

Well goddamn I thought by now we all know that defending a Democracy against Kleptocracy is YUGELY expensive! I mean everybody but that Heffa Donna Brazille & feeble old Bernie seem to know it. It cost Hillary millions upon millions to refund the Dem party!

So Carrie is her own #Resistance now. But once a CIA agent - always a CIA agent. If her sis & BIL knew who Saul was (did they?) then they should have a pretty good idea that Carrie sacrifices an awful to do right by her country. Esp given the deaths of 3 people that were important part of the plot: Brody, tremendously handsome Quinn and the gorgeous tough smart Astrid.

I love this show. I really hope it has a better ending than all the other greats like Dexter, etc.

[quote]I love this show. I really hope it has a better ending than all the other greats like Dexter, etc.

Our Carrie will NOT let that happen!

VERY satisfying when Carrie beat the shit out of creepy hacker dude!

[quote] IT appears that sister may have no idea how Carrie has earned her living. How could this be?? “You are $38,000 in debt and have several Aliases...”

Considering Carrie spent (five?) years in Baghdad and another year or so in Pakistan as the Drone Queen plus additional years driving daily to Langley they would have to know she was CIA. Wasn't she even mentioned in Senate speeches criticizing the Pakistan debacle. But they would also know after Pakistan she went into the private sector for that German foundation, and then the New York Muslim-coddling non-profit.

As far as the family is concerned I expect they only see her now as a mentally disturbed civilian.

I hope the rich German shows up and pays for everything...I know, not gonna happen lol

[quote]I hope the rich German shows up and pays for everything.

Rich, and HOT.

Anyone still watching?

Yes I am! That guy who got her out of jail, he reminds me of another actor but I can't quite put my finger on it

I was underwhelmed by this ipisode. I don't like the conservative DJ storyline, either. A little of Saul and him, both, go a long way.

And where is the annoying brother-in-law? I wanted Carrie to go off on him, maybe push him down the stairs, while between meds.

Is Quinn still a gimp?

No, Quinn died

I agree, I'm not digging that standoff either.

I don't like the Steve Bannon type guy's storyline. I do like Carrie. I knew that guy from Law and Order (Linus Roache) who plays the President's chief of staff was going to be a bad guy

Roach first came to attention playing a gay in PRIEST (1994)

Wow he was a beaut! ^^ I am liking Homeland so far. A lot happens and I try not to think too much about it. I am sort of over her "meds" issues and I really miss Quinn and Astrid. I loved Quinn. He is so beautiful just my type. Anyway, I will still watch, it's great TV!!

Quinn's storyline had nowhere to go so I don't really miss him all that much. I think this season has some potential but I've read somewhere that the Bannon lookalike "stalemate" situation will drag on for a number of episodes, which doesn't sound encouraging.

Agree on the radio DJ. That standoff scene was wasted time beyond Saul's single line the FBI (unnecessarily) wanted blood.

Not happy either they are clearly setting up the other guy as Carrie's new lover. But in fairness I had the same first reaction to Quinn, and he grew on me quite nicely.

I loved Quinn from the very first scene. I'm a sucker for the sexy badass type.

Not feeling the CIA guy either. And he's not much of an eye candy. Bleargh.

They were clearly modeling Keane as a Hillary type, and when Trump won they changed gears drastically regarding her character. that's why her storyline makes no fucking sense.

When the President told the linus roache character to take care of the General in the first episode, was she telling him to kill him?

I still haven't finished last season.

R56, yes I Do think she was telling her Chief of Staff to kill him.

Cant wait to see tonight - except I DO NOT want to watch that hideous glob of pus Bannonish pig one more minute.

wow. That was tense.

Linus Roche was one of the English Kings in Vikings. Sadly I didn't watch last season. Still sexy.

A day late, but best episode of the season yet. Definitely kicked the story into high gear!

It was a very good touch having the FBI needlessly kill the dog.

What is Joe DuBois being accused of, exactly??

That was a great episode. Sure it strained credulity but it was great TV!!

It's actually a relief to get away from the reality of Trump to watch Homeland and think a President Kean would be 1000 times better.

Yes, Keene is just paranoid. She isnt a neo Nazi, white Supremacist, trying to borrow billions from foreign powers and selling US policy in return.

[quote] a President Kean would be 1000 times better.

Yea, a president who when plotted against by her national security establishment unleashes purges, mass arrests, and closed military tribunals.

The twist that the ho is just fucking the chief of staff and isn't actually working for him bahaha

The Ho will be a Russian Agent. She took those punches like the Pro she is. Bottom line she can compromise Keene via Wellington. Not so much like Shitolini who just waits for his direct orders from Putin.

that guy who is on her team (who said was fucking her) kinda looks like ethan hawk.

R80 I thunk he’s British. He was in Broadchurch.

He was the fatty hairdresser's hottie husband

I love this show. I couldn't believe how fast this episode went.

I love this show too but it's too short! only like 35 or 40 min!

Agreed - there is five minutes of previews for other shows at the start of the hour. And I don't want it to end - almost better to wait and buy the dvd and binge watch it.

tonight's episode was great! i'm really enjoying this!

Glad to see Oleg from The Americans as a Russian bad guy.

Tonight's episode was very good indeed!

This is now my favorite show

That was a remarkable episode.

I liked the afterward with the production member saying that they based this “Species Jump” story On actual Russian agent fake news retweeted by Bots. Americans really need to see this how to explain how incredibly grave this Russian cyberwarfar attack on our country is. To think Trump is selling out the security of our Democracy for his remaining in office is stunning.

Claire Danes husband was in the last 2 episodes. He played one of the guys helping Carrie, who broke into that woman's apt and threatened her/ punched her

That guy who plays Dante is married to actress Rebecca Hall

Fantastic episode bound to receive a few Emmy nods.

I just want to see Dante's cock.

Dante is like a glorified Anthony Weiner.

He has nasty tats, no thanks

Who is paying Carrie's team to investigate? Dante?

Probably on credit cards. Plus didn't they ask the Russian spy for 100k? That could be used towards it

[quote]Claire Danes husband was in the last 2 episodes.

No, he wasn't.

[quote]No, he wasn't

maybe R91 is confusing James D'arcy with Hugh Dancy

Maybe he was confusing him with Charles Dance?

I thought this season was so slow at the beginning, but now it's my favorite since the first season.

Yeah, its not clear to me who employs Carrie. And does her sistrr still believe she's job hunting?

And is her daughter still waiting to be picked up from school?

So, Dante is up to no good. That was a surprise.

What wasn't a surprise, though, was how quick he was to hook up with her once she flirted a little. Because men fall at her feeet. Always. she's such a precious beauty.

Dante is playing her R104 that's why he's so eager to further ensnare her.

Shouldn't she take some compromising dick pix now that she's got him compromised?

He's already been compromised, R106:

After ep. 6 I had to go back and watch all the Dante scenes in ep. 1-5. Dude deserves an Emmy. His performance is so nuanced once you see it from a different perspective. Dante keeps giving Carrie these hard looks when she turns away from him and was having a fit when she said she was not pursuing the case anymore and kept sparring with her to turn her focus back on the investigation. I had a feeling about him being up to no good when they were in the van and he was overly caring towards her about her medication and then he was calling the op. I couldn't pinpoint it at the time but I picked up that something was way off. Now going back over the scenes you see how it stares you in the face. So so deft. I am truly amazed. Also the way Saul played it was incredible. I love this fucking show!

never been able to watch it as the face of that lead actress makes me retch...

Ugh, the series that just wont die.

[quote]R62 I am sort of over her "meds" issues

I want her to start a mommy blog: [italic]"Soved my kid out the door after shrieking at her about a permission slip...thank god she's out of my hair for a few hours. Here's some pics of me pacing."

Why does every photo of Carrie have her looking like an escapee from a mental institution with that insane stare on her face?

I gave up on it one episode into last season. It needs to put out of its misery.

New episode tonight! Can't wait to see Dante's fallout.

Me too, looking forward to new episode tonight

What an episode! Crazy ending!! Although Carrie clearly learned nothing from the whole Brody mess...

I think she was still working him while riding his dick, I thought she was gonna kill him or something

I like that max was speaking up for carrie

Carrie: Mother of the Year

So is Wellington in love with Elizabeth-is that what we were supposed to infer from his letter to her?

WHERE'S THE BITCHY BROTHER-IN-LAW ? ?

I think David was only saying that to try to save his own ass

[quote]Although Carrie clearly learned nothing from the whole Brody mess...

Carrie has never stopped being a self-destructive mess, from the first moment she graced the tv screen.

[quote]r124 Carrie has never stopped being a self-destructive mess, from the first moment she graced the tv screen.

Carrie is US, you bastard ! !

R121 Yes that was a bit sketchy, certainly implied. I liked the way Keene refused to let him off the hook.

Wow Dante is a rela operator. Seemed like they were hate fucking each other.

Yes! And Carrie was about to tell him what she thought he was when FBI busted through the door

Is Frannie going to someday learn who her father was and reunite with Brody's kids?? Maybe they should take custody of her.

Saul is triggered

The last thing the show needs is to bring pouty Dana Brody back. She’s no Sally Draper.

Didn't Timothee Chalafant play Dana's boyfriend in Season 1?

Yes, R132, and he blowed up real good in the explosion at the memorial service for his dad, the Vice President.

I hated Dana but I liked Brodie’s son.

It would still be interesting to see how Brody's daughter and son cope now after the stain on their father. Dana would be college grad by now.

Ugh i hated Dana and how much focus her character got after season 1.

It became The Dana Show for most of Season 3 and it was unwatchable.

Naked Dante!

He had too many fug tattoos.

Carrie fucks pretty much anything that moves yet she refused to have anything to do with beautiful, tortured, moral compass Quinn, who adored her.

CUNT.

The episode had good elements in its favor.

But we were also exposed to those ugly, low class tattoos. Now we KNOW he's a villain. If not mentally disturbed.

Really, carrie looks like an insane prostitute in search of the john that got away.

WHEN WILL THIS WASTE OF TIME SERIES END???? ONLY WAS GOOD WHEN MR DAMIAN LEWIS WAS IN IT.

[Quote] Carrie fucks pretty much anything that moves yet she refused to have anything to do with beautiful, tortured, moral compass Quinn, who adored her.

I'm glad Carrie & Quinn didn't sleep together. I don't think they had that much chemistry.

r143, why are you watching if you don't like it? Lewis isn't in it, he's in Billions now, go watch that show.

R141 Has Claire ever done nudity before?? Before Homeland i don't think she really did sex scenes either. I wonder what changed..?

Dante is a bit too oily looking for me. I don't find him attractive in the least.

Dante is HOT!

Yes, R121, I wondered if the Wellington letter was some kind of admission of love. Anyone?

I'd like to slap cray Carrie viciously. Stable Carrie is far more interesting so no clue as to why the writers feel compelled to send her off a cliff so regularly And where are the gay characters in this show? DC is loaded with gay

Dante's tats are REAL!

Lol i loved when Franny said to her mum "don't".

I don't understand his ugly tats, it looks like a big mistake, that big ugly black patch on the back. utter trash.

Dante is NOT hot..gross

Back tattoos are never a good idea.

I cannot understand a woman who refused to have sex with Quinn yet has sex with ugly, oily, dirty-looking Dante

What the fuck is that in R155, a dragon on a skateboard?

Tattoos are so fucking fug. It’s body vandalism.

Excessive tattoos are the unfailing outward signs of mental instability.

R157 It's Batfleck's midlife crisis.

carrie is not fit to be a mother, it's better that her sis takes franny

Another great episode! Homeland has really stepped up its game these last few weeks. Love that Saul and Carrie are working together again ❤️

Carrie should be reinstated at The Agency - she saved the Presidency of the US. With a job she will have legitimacy, high pay, affordable childcare or live in Nanny can be an option. Saul also needs to step up and shut down her sister.

I hope Keene survives the season and turns out to be strong Advocate for US Democracy. If we cant have that. In real life then at least let Us have that in TV Land. Sort of a counterweight to fucking RoseanneBarTrumpBeritbartChan4SarahGilbertLaurieMetcalfJohnGoodmanABC Motherfuckers that are part of the Putin/Trump/Breitbart/WhiteSupremacist attack on US Democracy.

Yeah, I wanna see Carrie, Keene & Saul win. And DEMOCRATS.

it's 2018 and I'd still suck Elya Baskin dry

The President still needs a makeover. She always dressed like Deb from HR.

oh my, carrie went cuckoo crazy!

Fantastic show tonight. So it looks like Saul saved the day for Dante. Also we heard a preview with Saul saying “I need someone I can work with - I need you.” She just might be able to save her life with Franny. I sure hope so . BIL is still a totally smug asshole.

HOLY HALLUCINATIONS!! 😱

Carrie may be a hero, but she is completely unfit as a Mother. She should be thrilled that her sister and bil want to take Franny off her hands.

Maggie and bil are assholes - Carrie would be fine if she had a CIA approved Nanny. Her valor, extremely brilliant insight and bravery is not to be sneered at in service to our Democracy. Even if it is a television show. Like millions of American women across the country - the real problem is goddamn affordable, safe childcare.

Everyone's ragging on Carrie for being an unfit mother....WHILE SHE'S SAVING THEIR COUNTRY. Okay, her child has been in some stressed situations, but you know...sorry, that's life.

Maybe the little brat will have issues to deal with later on. We all do.

Wait till Franny learns who her father was. I don't know if we'll get seasons where Franny is a teen but imagine being the child of JFK Accused killer Oswald - who was 100% not guilty of shooting JFK.

And her half-sister was a total cunt.

I'm tired of the kid drama. Enough with that already. Carrie should just give the kid over to the sister for a while so she can get on with it.

Carrie = great dedicated public servant, but terrible mother through no fault of her own. She's mentally ill,

I cant believe there are only 3 episodes of this series left...I am heartsick. This is my favorite series on television. Now and again it was tedious with Dana and Carries in and out hospital scenes. But this show is so realistic since it has been Well advised by former intelligence professionals. Truly this is a show for our time. I will be heartsick when this ends.

Mama's a crazy bitch.

I read somewhere next season will be its last and will be shot in the UK and Israel.

That is one fast hour of television. I don't even have the time or energy to think how it strains credulity. I mean who cares, right?

This season and last were the best ever. But Danes' crying face is like a clown's.

Danes does ugly cry.

I loved the German season, myself. Rubbed out a few just thinking about a four-way with Quinn, the boyfriend and the boss with Carrie sitting in a corner watching us, lower lip quivering uncontrollably.

Miranda Otto was so great in t hat German season.

She really was, R183. Easily her best role so far. She was wasted on 24 last year.

I'm so sick of the kid storyline. I wish Carrie would give her up so we don't have to see it anymore.

They should just kill the kid, making Carrie go totally rogue in the final season.

I loved the German season too. Love Miranda Otto as well as the wonderful Nina Hoss. And, Quinn, fuck I miss Quinn.

Honestly, this show has been pretty great throughout it's run. Even the much maligned third season is much better than it was made out to be at the time. Personally, I switch back and forth between thinking season one and season four as the best. But I'm loving this current season too!

I think Quinn is still alive.

[quote]I think Quinn is still alive.

He eloped with Dana Brody

So why hasn’t Carrie been committed? That bitch is crazy.

The German season was magnificent. Great story lines and the photography was great. Love Germany.

I'd like a season split between London and Paris with appearances by well known French actors.

R188, Season 3 was HORRIFIC. It was The Dana Show which occasionally cut to a drug addled Brody in shackles. It was universally hated for a reason.

Season 3 was a slog. That goddam Dana. I wanted to kick in my TV every time I saw that miserable face.

how can quinn be alive? he's dead.

If carrie is on lithium then why isn't she fat?

Interesting to watch senior FBI officials conspiring with the Russians to bring down the president. And Homeland is good too.

I get the Dana hate but I'd love for Dana and her brother (whose name I can't remember) show up to meet their half sister and yes dredge all that up. I liked Brody's 1st wife too and her bf who was so hot.

New episode tonight, bitches. Can't fucking wait, this season has been firing on all cylinders for weeks now!

[Quote] I liked Brody's 1st wife too and her bf who was so hot.

It's kind of funny seeing Morena go from this to Gotham.

I want to see Dana and Page from "The Americans" in a ratchet fight.

CARRIE' S GOING TO RUSSIA! 🇷🇺

Same old same old.

R203 Get the Novichok ready.

On any other show, we'd be sad that the protagonist lost custody of their child. Love how on this one it's a cause for celebration: YEAH GURL DO YOUR SPY SHIT!

Excellent, the kid is out if the picture and Carrie zapped the cray away.

FINALLY RID OF FUCKING FRANNY

Too funny R207

But seriously, this season is great. Even this episode, while a definite slow down in pacing, was riveting thanks to excellent writing and acting. Claire Danes and Amy Hargreaves really knocked it out of the park! And Saul's scene visiting Carrie in the hospital was sweet and effective. Bring on the Russian adventures!

All shot in Budapest, of course, but who cares?

Just caught up on the two most recent episodes. Yes, it's true that you have to suspend disbelief to enjoy this show, but, seriously? Possibly the most important witness in modern US history, an FBI agent, turned Russian spy is left UNGUARDED so that a Russian spy can just sneak in and off him? AND, that FBI agent turned Russian spy's cell phone was just left in his room so that, if he gained enough strength to get out of bed, he could call whomever he wanted or sent a signal to his operatives? Seriously?

Ok, Madame President is a bit thick-headed.

They certainly made the right decision when they cast Hargreaves as Carrie's sister. She's completely believable.

However, they've simply got to fire the horrible hairstylist on this show.

I know, R211. And is there really any question about Carrie fighting over her child with her sister and the sister’s craven husband? Her best friend and boss is the head of the fucking NSA. One word from him at that courtroom and it’s game over. They had a school secretary and lawyer openly talking about a highly classified and undercover operation that involved the potential takedown of a sitting president in family court? Lol, give me a break. It just wouldn’t happen. The whole Franny thing is such a boring diversion, but I was glad they finally wrapped that bullshit up.

This is still an edge of the seat show. And I loved her look of steely determination at the end. She knows what she is now. It was also nice to have that moment of recognition from her sister in court, despite the narrative backflips they were having to do to stage that.

And I liked the moment when she looked down at the dossier on her sister, picked it up and walked out of the court. We were supposed to think she was going to use it as a last gasp attempt to get Franny back but nope. When she looked down at the dossier she thought “I can’t do this to her.”

I did kind of wish that she was going to pull the trigger on that R215.

But that would have resulted in her sister losing her medical license and she didn’t deserve that, did she?

I agree that Saul could have ended the entire episode of Family drama. They needed Saul and good family Moderator. Also could not believe they left Dante so exposed - though claims of lockdown there was no one on the door - should have been at least 2 people continuously.

Lastly Carrie proved herself a mother that absolutely LOVED her daughter, she did the best thing though her bil is a stupid dick. She will always be in her daughters life - additionally Frannie will grow up knowing her Mother is a bonified American HERO many many times over. Her father was ultimately the same. That is good thing. She will have 2 Mommy’s and both will love her and be devoted to her. I’m good with that.

I can't fucking wait for the remaining two episodes! This show is really on a high this season.

Please, no more love interests for Carrie. Ass kicking yes, but no more love.

I thought Amy Hargreaves was Emmy worthy last night both in her courtroom monologue and her goodbye to Carrie at the episode's end. I hope her name is in the running for the best guest actress Emmy this Fall.

I like Carrie, I like that she didn't fuck up her face with fillers. She plays crazy very well

This season has been really good and eerily prescient assuming it was written a while ago.

Say what you will about Claire Danes but girl can act. Excellent distinction between sane Carrie vs previous crazy Carrie while experiencing the same emotions (re her kid).

Can you imagine this series, but starring SJP's Carrie??

OMG

"Bonified," R218?

Oh, dear!

I stopped watching at season 4

Is it still good?

I heard they were changing it and making her a SJW type, or the show was going that way. Is it still like that?

Oh, honey, even your hero Milo doesn't use that alt-right "SJW" meme anymore.

I actually got choked up which never happens watching Homeland. Another great episode.

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.

“We’re going to start fresh in season 8 and probably do a fairly big time jump between 7 and 8 and put any Trump parallels behind us,” Gansa says. “We’ll tell a very contained story, hopefully in Israel.”

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.

I infer that means the shoe-horned Trump story hasn't been burning up the ratings.

As for a Carrie'less Homeland, I bet they are sorry now they killed off Quinn.

[quote] I bet they are sorry now they killed off Quinn

They could just reset the whole thing. They erased Carrie's other niece, why not have Quinn be alive, well and in tip top spy form?

There was nowhere else to go with that Quinn storyline. If anything, I'm enjoying this season far more without the constant drama over the crippled Quinn.

He could come back as his twin.

I wanted to know more about Quinn when he was a rent boy.

[quote] They erased Carrie's other niece

If by erased you mean away at college, then yes. Nice try though.

The first season was the best.

R238 No! The season with Timothée Chalamet was the best!

[quote] but, seriously? Possibly the most important witness in modern US history, an FBI agent, turned Russian spy is left UNGUARDED so that a Russian spy can just sneak in and off him? AND, that FBI agent turned Russian spy's cell phone was just left in his room so that, if he gained enough strength to get out of bed, he could call whomever he wanted or sent a signal to his operatives? Seriously?

I'm with you dude.

This is in addition to the Russians magically being able to get to Simone, spirit her out of the safe house and onto a private jet at a nearby airfield that also wasn't magically being watched.

Then they try to make all that into a plot point, that the conservative Arizona senator things Keene is lying because it was too easy for the Russians to get all those people. Well no shit.

Unless of course it turns out he was in on it

That was the WORST season, R239 and everyone on DL was disgusted.

Just a bit of reality check here - there are many many remote airfields across the US. It is entirely within the realm of possibility that an uncontrolled airfield would be accessbible with no more security than a chain link fence.

Good episode. Where was it filmed? Presumably not Russia. Somewhere in Eastern Europe, I'd guess? That lakeside "dacha" looked gorgeous.

I think they went to Budapest for the last 2 episodes R243

that episode was so nerve wracking. when are they going to figure out their hacker teammate told the senator's chief of staff about the mission? I hope the VP and senator get served up.

The VP seemed to realize that he was wrong - all his fancy talk about the Constitution, well this gives him an opportunity to be a hero and prove it at long last. Also how does ANYONE on “Carries Team” wind up being such a weenie and contacting her immediately about the Senators rep squeezing him?

That female assist to the Senator just committed treason - and an agent died - death penalty for her. I was stunned that UseFul Idiot just sat there doing nothing. Now he is sooo complicit he has no way out and permitted Treason himself. He reminds me of our own Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell - total Useful Idiots - With one bought off by Russian Oligarchs.

So how does this end in Israel? Is that the embassy that Carrie and Saul stash Simone in to get her back to the States?

The final two episodes were shot in Budapest and it showed. In one shot you can see a street sign and it’s not in Cyrillic. And are there trams in Moscow?

Best episode of the season, can't wait for the finale!

Budapest is a much more beautiful city than Moscow. I was on the edge of my seat the entire episode.

Question, is Carrie's main black ops dude Weinerdog's nemisis in Welcome to the Dollhouse?

What's the blackout tent Carrie has for her team in her hotel room? And can you set up camp like that without the local government knowing? I thought they thrust their snouts into every nook and cranny of vistors.

poor carrie. is she gonna be sent to jail in russia? and her quinn will come save her? in the next season? yeah, i know, wishful thinking.

Imagine that such “iron curtains” do exist for intelligence and secure communications, most travelers are free to being what they want into countries.. (Only prohibitions I have encountered are in ME countries that object to booze, porno, anything related to Sex, or thousands of $$ in currency.)

Also dont forget the US Embassy would have recommended this hotel and swept the rooms carefully before bringing the US Dir of National Security and a team in. That would be standard around the world.

Season finale’s on soon, bitches!

who is Goran? during the prisoners exchange? Poor Carrie!

carrie looks like she's crazy as fuck! Damn!

omg, carrie lost her mind!!!! WTF! why did the writers do this to her?

Great finale! Somehow knew Keane would have nowhere to go but resign.

Well they have to do another season so Carrie should be recoverable. She really gave it ALL for her country, horrible that they scripted the exchange taking 7mos. Since Carrie exacted the harshest results on Russia they would like to ensure she never gets over on them again. I guess this was it. Looks like Electro shock.

I will not understand Clare Danes remarks that “Carrie ends in a more rested place” or something to that effect. Really???

The Russians tortured her. she's broken. I don't think anyone normal can come back from that mentally, much less a fucked up individual like her.

I bet Yevgeny raped her. I hope in the final season she manages to shove a red hot poker up his butt.

This show goes at lightning speed. All of the scenes never shown - I wish Saul had gone to Carrie's sister and husband to update them on her situation in Russia and the little girl shows up. I think President Keane and David were going to move on 'together' from the look between them at the end. I also think the actor who played David looks like a real life Kennedy.

That is my (imaginary) boyfriend, Linus Roache. He's English.

[bold]#You'reWelcome

Thank you R262. Love him.

He first came to attention playing a gay in PREIST (1994)

He's also in my favorite movie ever, THE WINGS OF THE DOVE (1997)

So is she suppose to somehow wind up a station chief again? Most humans would throw in the towel after something so awful - such is the magic of Hollywood.

I am genuinely curious if there was ever an agent that suffering from mental health disorder that served with distinction and bravery. A bookabout the lives of CIA agents would be fascinating. Valerie Plame certainly wrote an amazing book.

The last few episodes saved the season. After they got rid of the radio host story, the show got much better. I loved the last two episodes, that was good TV. Season 1 & 5 are still my fave, though. Does anyone know where the next season is set?

R267: London and Israel

Oh! Carrie goes nuts! Again! How fresh and original!

I love that Carrie offered her pussy for pills.

I’m guessing it will be a time jump of at least two years. Carrie will probably have been treated in a super photogenic, bucolic clinic outside London. Her young daughter finally goes to visit her, accompanied by the aunt. Saul springs her back into action, though, when President Lloyd Bridges becomes the casualty of a terrorist attack, most likely caused by Muslims. The trail leads her amd Saul to Tel Aviv.

I'm a day behind, but what a finale and what a season. This show was so topical and current this year it was scary. I Was genuinely surprised to see Keane resign, but it was a fitting and powerful conclusion for her storyline. The escape from Russia scenes were suspensful and thrilling and that ending with Carrie was beyond devastating. Poor Carrie! Poor Saul! You just know he blames himself. Best season since the 4th. Can't wait for the final season. Do we know when it's set to air?!

I’m thinking not until next April at the earliest. Claire Danes is having her second child in late July so I assume it will start shooting a lot later than usual. Normally it starts shooting in July or August.

Saul’s character is a great man only bested by Carrie’s brilliance. He will see that she recovers, he and the last 2 Presidents both understand she saved the US Democracy. (Sadly only on the TeeVee because cowardly GOP Congress people couldnt give a shit in reality of US politics. What Russian Interference to sow chaos? I don’t believe anything you say about the NRA!!) That is a lot of support to see she gets the best care. Would that was reality for all Americans.

The actor who plays David does indeed look like a Kennedy. I wonder if this is partly why he got the part. He pings, doesn't he? Is he gay? Because I've got an itching to pound his rosebud.

Linus Roache played a gay man in Priest but by all accounts he’s straight. He’s been married to a British actress named Rosalind for many years. No children. They were apparently in some sort of cult in Massachusetts but left it in recent years. His father William Roache has been one of the stars of the UK soap Coronation Street since 1960. He holds the record for playing a character the longest in any medium.

In future, R276, all information regarding Linus Roache will be provided by [italic]me.[/italic] He has been my imaginary boyfriend since the 1990s, and I justly feel I know him better than anyone.

Our imaginary family appreciates your sensitivity during this difficult time.

Linus great with an American accent, just as Damian Lewis was with Brody.

R 277 I think you are great!. I respect your relationship. LOL

Oops, I meant President Beau Bridges, of course.

[quote] President Lloyd Bridges

Your eldergay is showing, R271.

R280, you were accidentally right, his name IS Lloyd (guessing named after his dad) but he goes by his nickname Beau.

Young Jeff was everything

Puppy dawg eyes.

Okay Datalounge experts, what are season 7's Emmy chances? (Realistically)

I hope that it snags a nom for best drama series after being left out last year. And I'm rooting for Danes to win her 3rd Emmy for the show. She was exceptional this year, the best actress on television!
