Homeland **SPOILERS**

[Otta]

I'm watching it tonight ;-)

[Cassius]

Just seen the last episode - won't say anything but feeling totally drained - it's only TV for goodness sake!

[Otta]

Also just seen it.

Not a bad ending (please let it be the end).

Not saying a word for another week.

[Cathy migan]

Cant wait to see it now but surely they can't make another series after this.

[Otta]

I'll say nothing about what happens.

There are a couple of loose ends, but I think they've made an effort to tie most things up and end it here.

I ended up quite enjoying this series (after a terrible season 2 imo), but if they do another one it will be absolute toilet.

[El Pibe]

This series started soooo badly, but (finally) kicked in around episode 4 (we were just about to give up on it) and it just kept getting better.

2 was pretty poor though.

Ah well, have Love/Hate sereis 4 to go to, after series 3 which was pretty amazing...

[aquarius moon]

Having quite a few FB friends from the US (who can't keep a secret), I was aware of the outcome of this series at the beginning of the week.

So I felt sad last night, knowing what was about to happen.

Very hard to watch the demise of one of the show's most popular characters in such a brutal manner

I agree it felt like the end, but according to those in the know, it will probably be back for a 4th season.

Hope so. If not, it will be missed by many.

[steveo]

The way he tensed those neck muscles, he could be back

[Otta]

That's what we said, you never knew 100% that he'd died.

But if they go down that road it will be the most stupid thing ever.

[Huggers]

I don't think he's dead.

[El Pibe]

We wondered the same thing, but apart from making no sense in terms of the plot (his death served everyone, alive he's an threat to jevadi and the CIA).

But apparently he's not been cast in series 4, so I think that really is it.

Is he the most popular character? I found him generally a bit annoying. Saul has to be the beating heart of the programme, though favourite character of series 3 was without a doubt Peter Quinn, the disillusioned assassin.

[Otta]

I thought it was a far better show without him, and I only enjoyed him in this series because he wasn't in it much.

Not the actor's fault, but he was so poorly scripted. And they had a bloody montage of him getting back to health FFS!

I guese a 4th season based around Carrie's adventures in her new role is possible, but I can't see the point. They can't really write Saul bsck in to the CIA so it's just her now.

[El Pibe]

he's in 4 too apparently.

I can only imagine that Carrie's main adversary will be the new director, maybe saul will help bring him down.

I wonder who the mani terrorist will be since Saul's plan actually came to fruition in reality.

I reckon the English!

[steveo]

Safe to say they're lining up Peter Quinn to be her new hit man/squeeze

And there's a long tradition of an ex boss working outside the system

For Saul read Smiley

[Cassius]

Imo it would be best to stop it now - Brody, however annoying he may have been, was really the lynch pin. On the other hand perhaps a lot of people just had a dream that they saw him die...................... maybe something that they put in the water.............

[Huggers]

if Brody is still in it, theyre not going to tell us in advance. We last saw him on the point of death but not dead. If he is squirrelled out of the country with a new identity he is no threat to Jevadi and Saul will have quelled his own conscience.

But what I didn't quite understand was whether Brody was exonerated on the news, whether his daughter would have known he died a good guy or not.

[Otta]

I got the impression that it hadn't been announced that he's "dont the right thing", hence the refusal to recognise him on the CIA wall of honour.

[El Pibe]

Sooooo, the opener was a bit better than last series then huh? No irritating teens is always a good start.

[aquarius moon]

You're a bit premature EP.

It doesn't start on channel 4 til next Sunday!

[El Pibe]

Blimey RTE ahead of the game....I'll keep schtum then

[Otta]

I'll download this evening.

Start of last season was toilet, but the season went on to be a VAST VAST improvement on Season 2 which was total utter crap from start to finish.

I've said before and I'll say again, the strength of last season was that Broadie wasn't in it much. Alas I suspect that will change when his miraclulous escape comes to light.

[El Pibe]

we very nearly gave up on it, then it turned on a sixpence.

I think the strength of 3 was partly down to peter quinn, best character by far (ok saul cool too), so you'll be glad to know they're both still there. Sadly noone has bumped off Carrie yet :(
