So we now have to endure 4 more planned series of the unbearable relationship and trumped up can we trust each other and rubbish sex scenes. Somehow fail to see how this can be accepted by Estes given his determination to get rid. Oh I forget! Carrie with her manic eyes and tearful breakdowns will, as usual, be able to do as she chooses and convince all she knows best. It's almost like watching Jeremy Kyle when her and Brody are in conversation and will see if the finale can provide a hook for the next, hopefully more thought out and captivating series 3.

Going to say this again one more time, just in case.

Just a polite request to anyone who watches Homeland at US Pace but also comes into this thread to read and comment. The season finale is tonight in America, we don't get it till next Sunday.

It's basic common sense but it must be said - please refrain from spoiling for everyone watching at Ch4 UK Pace. This is NOT the place to discuss the finale until it is has been aired over here next Sunday 23rd.

Thanks in advance.

I seem to spend my whole time nowadays shouting at the tv, "Use dogs! Or thermal imaging!" when they are hunting for people!
...and "wait for back up!"

Getting a bit silly now, and I just don't like Brodie any more. Carrie I still care about a little, but now think we are left with two mentally unstable people in a relationship who are ill-suited to sorting out the mess they have got themselves into.

I wish it were all ending next week.

You don't have to 'endure' anything.

Just don't watch it.

And it's been renewed for a third season - why do you think there are 4 more in the pipeline?

I was there with you yelling "Get the dogs in!" And if the tag team guys always work in pairs then why was one poor sap landed with Carrie?

I don't see how Brodie and Estes can both survive this.

After the end of this series I don't think I will care what happens anymore. Its race was run during S1 and we have been watching the warm down laps during S2.

The reason for Carrie going back was a bit flimsy, as AN did plan to run away. He was just waiting till everything died down and did 'run' when initially discovered.

Poor Galvez. He came back before he was ready because he was concerned when Carrie was abducted, then Carrie accuses him of being a terrorist & has him hauled out of his car & roughed up when he's on his way to the hospital! She owes him a huge apology! She could use concussion as an excuse, seeing as she's been in a car accident & not sought medical attention. I don't like her selfishness when driving & total disregard for other road users.

Unless he was trying to create a distraction so everyone would follow him leaving AN to leave his hideout in his own sweet time.

I wish critics of Carrie's actions would understand from the start we were told this woman suffers from Bi Polar Mood Disorder . Why ? Surely to explain her behaviour throughout ?
Why then would you want to see her acting like a sensible minded person would ?

There was an ambulance at the site though

Damain Lewis has a contract for 6 seasons in all apparently.

I wondered this too. There were ambulances at the scene which could have tended to his burst stitches surely. And also, if he was going off-site he would have told someone, otherwise the tag teams may have thought he was trapped in the tunnels/kidnapped by AN...

Re Roya: what's all this about occupied land (implying that she's Palestinian, well at least that's my take on it), but I thought she was from Yemen..... I swear someone in an earlier episode said that she was from Yemen.
Yes...both are correct....her "family" lost everything in the occupation - i.e. home, land etc. Doubtful she was born, or particularly old, at that point....making the assumption that they fled to Yemen, where she was born/raised....

you are right, infact they refer to her grandfather not her father's land

oh....and in case any of you wondered how Nazir was able to remain so elusive in built areas, it's quite simple.....

I have hopes that Carrie gets seduced to the dark side and she and Brody get to be the latter day Bonnie and Clyde and get blown away.

And I am really not at all violent! Honest.

5 to 7 year contracts are standard. It doesn't necessarily translate into being employed all those years.

I knew that Carrie was leading that poor FBI guy to a certain death.
as soon as it was him and Carrie alone I called him as a gonner.

it does seem to be fizzling out at the moment, but as that wasn't the ending there must be more and deeper.

Saul must be on the short list for death he's done at the cia given Estes wants him out.

it's also difficult to see how Carrie would continue within the cia as well.

nasir seemed to give up damm easily as well, almost as if it was part of a plan...
