In Reply to: Homeland season finale... posted by mkuller on December 22, 2014 at 13:04:14:
a lot of input and killed all momentum this season had established. Over half of the episode was devoted to a heretofore unseen mom from whom Carrie was estranged and a half brother she never knew existed. These are the types of out of nowhere character introductions common in primetime soaps such as Melrose Place and Desperate Housewives. Totally out of place in a spy thriller.
It left one of the main plot points hanging, i.e., the list of operatives in Afghanistan and Pakistan, no mention, zilch, of the list Haqquani had. No retribution for the 40 embassy employees killed. We're supposed to believe Haqquani, a ruthless terrorists, will keep his word and not show the world his video of a helpless, degraded, quivering Saul? Lol, yea, Taliban leaders are such honorable men. I guess we're supposed to believe he, Saul, and Dar Adal are going to be bff's forever?
To reiterate, I thought this episode was way beyond horrendously horrible and I ain't trolling.
