Dire tonight.
If it's that bad again next week that's it for me. |

The series is very good so far. Miss Brody and wonder if Brodies daughter will become the mother of the kid.

I'll be curious to get your take on the pregnancy situation once you've seen the first couple of new episodes. |

If it's that bad again next week that's it for me. It's basically a new programme - it's like Brody being hanged ended Homeland as it was and now this is a spin of show. Very little continuity between season 3 & 4. IMO the writers should have seen it this way and ensured that season 4 was absolutely gripping from the very start like season 1 was. There's a loyal viewer base so the writers can take a slightly slow start for granted a little but that will not last for long. P.s. Is it just me that thinks that Carrie having a baby adds no content to the show what-so-ever? I'm finding it very frustrating. |

Despite what we're shown in TV dramas & films, we know that the USA is the fattest country in the world - with being obese as practically the norm; therefore why on earth would those two blokes be sniggering about Quinn's 'girlfriend'? I'm sure they see several people her size on a daily basis, they'd be immune to it by now.

When Carrie pulled up outside the Brody household I thought she was going to dump the baby on Mrs Brody!

She didn't even go to visit her father to find out why he wasn't helping - was that because the actor wasn't available?
It agree that tonight's episode wasn't particularly engaging and rather slow, but Homeland usually has a couple of slowish episodes per series - sometimes to focus on emotional aspects - in this case, Quinn's conscience and Carrie's relationship (or lack of) with her baby. Hopefully, if Carrie is in Islamabad next week, it will get back on track. (Although, no matter how boring it was, I don't think I'd ever give up on Homeland. )

Watching at US pace. Episodes 1 and 2 were shown together and it feels more satisfying that way.

Do we know what the boy put in the bag and stashed at at his girlfriend's house?

When Carrie said, "I can still see him when I close my eyes", I thought, "or when you open your eyes and look at your baby"!
When she was pregnant, Carrie continued to drink heavily, took up smoking, and put herself in very risky situations. And she evidently didn't have many ante-natal appointments, certainly not early on in the pregnancy to find out about recommendations for what to do about the medication she was on and what effects it might have on the baby if she continued with it or stopped taking it. It wasn't very clear that she actually wanted the baby, but she wouldn't consider having an abortion, even though it was likely the baby could have been harmed by all that heavy drinking. If I remember correctly, she was thinking of giving the baby up for adoption but her sister talked her out of it saying the baby would "ground her"? Or am I misremembering? Now the sister is complaining about having to look after the baby and Carrie can't look after her for a few hours without trying to kill her. So maybe she should revisit the idea of giving her up for adoption. She didn't even go to visit her father to find out why he wasn't helping - was that because the actor wasn't available? |

Surely Carrie's sister was telling a fib about having to cancel patients' appointments because of Carrie being back late? She wasn't even expecting Carrie to turn up the previous day, so she must have made those appointments very recently!

Dragged a bit this week. I realise the point they're making about Carrie's difficulty in looking after her daughter but I got bored (apart from the bit where she nearly drowned the poor thing).

You would have thought the the corp would have realised she was exactly the wrong person to square their kit away.

Some good points are that there is no more Brodys and the constantly sulking Dana. They shortened the opening titles and have ditched the jazz music.
It's now Carrie's story without the pointless Brody clan subplots. I wonder if the mole from the last few series will be discovered or have the writers just decided to forget about it and hope the viewers do to. |
