The end of this show got me crying like Carrie.

Reminder- Kicks off tomorrow.

Is this show still good?

Obv Brody era was amazing but didn't make it much past that .... how much further should I go?

It's hit and miss. Some seasons are meh and some are decent. It's not great, but better than a lot of things on TV.

Loved the ending of 1st episode. Nice cliffhanger for 2nd episode.

Great first episode


I can't help but see The Americans character when they show the Russian bad guy.

Is there a good recap of the previous season? I've watched every season except the last one. I heard it was so awful that I skipped it.

Season 7 ended up being pretty solid

I remember two TV review websites stop covering it halfway through the season because it was so bad.

Look at IMDB ratings of the episodes. Started slow but was jot a bad season IMO

I thought they ended this like two years ago?

They should have. Like 5 years ago.

It should have ended when the ginger swung from a rope at the end of season three. Every season after that I saw was a mess. The last episode I saw was when Carrie was released across the bridge from whatever country had her as a prisoner. I'm almost certain they said that was the series finale at the time.

Thought ep 1 was good, but Saul being kidnapped again apparently if it happens is a shark jump.

Apologies, but my memory is not so good after season 7.

Is Dar Adal still in deep lockup?

Finally caught the first 2 episodes last night. I thought it was really good. Looking forward to seeing where this goes.

no preview for next weeks episode. that was the most intriguing thing of this weeks episode.

Don't know why, but I feel some weird obligation to ride this all way down to the crash site.

Ugh. Just watched episode 2 and surprise surprise sal gets kidnapped. I even told my wife in the middle of episode 1 "if sal gets kidnapped again I'm out"

Now to decide if I finish it or not

How y'all like the ending?

I think this season has been pretty damn good. Tonight's ending was powerful and really well done.

I'm so used to series now only being 10 episodes or less that I thought last night was the finale. I was watching that with about 20 minutes left going...they better start wrapping this up here. Then the last scene and I was thinking....is this one of those shows where we have to draw our own conclusions about how it all ended? because that would be lame. I was happy to see the preview for next week and learn that it'll be 12 episodes.

Season has been competent. It's re-hashing a lot of the same sequences (just with different people/environment)... I mean, as soon as they talked about releasing the squad at the border it was pretty obvious how that was gonna go. At least this time (finally) it seems like you can squarely lay the fault of those soldier's dying on Carrie since they wouldn't have been in jail had she not given their location up.

Overall not boring... I don't love that we're throwing in a "Russian mole" this late in the game though.

Unfortunately this show really hasn't had an "oh ****" moment since maybe S4 when Haqqani stormed the embassy... and before that the S2 finale.

Since then it's been bad at times, and competent at times -- just never really all that intense.

With two episodes to go I'd say there is fair chance Saul is kidnapped one more time visiting the Russian mole.

I accidentally ingested an edible during the finale and was convinced Jenna was the Russian mole. I had a very compelling theory and evidence, but forgot it all.

Still something weird about her.

Series finale coming up this Sunday, April 26. This final season has been a good one. There were a couple of seasons that I hated but was too involved to let it go.

I skipped a few seasons but I have liked this season too. Didn't think much happened last episode, which is weird bc the penultimate episode is usually when a ton of action happens in shows like this.

So Carrie is charged with the death of the president and many others, but is able to stay at the house of a cabinet member of the current president and is allowed to come and go as she pleases even crossing state lines as she is awaiting trial?

Seems legit.

Yeah, the show pretty much made you suspend all disbelief after S2. You have to view Homeland through a lens that Carrie is allowed to pretty much do whatever she wants and there's always someone with enough sway to keep her from being shutdown but also enough convenient amnesia to forget what happens every.single.time with Carrie. She's basically Jack Bauer.

This season has been somewhat enjoyable, but really not a fan of the eleventh hour russian spy contact story. Seems kinda silly to wait until 2 episodes before a 7 season series finale to play the "flashback to Saul's past" card.

Oh and look Carrie is elaborately arranging things on the floor to put all the pieces together with her beautiful mind JUST LIKE SHE USED TO DO BACK IN THE DAY!

I really feel like the only way to give this series justice is to end it with Carrie finally getting prosecuted, finally having to answer for all the collateral damage, and getting the electric chair complete with the quivering-lip cry-face Carrie right before they throw the switch.
