Jenksismyhero Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Dec 15, 2014 -> 03:32 PM) First of all, yeah - you can always count on Carrie to ruin something. Second, that's the guy that was always meeting with Saul. From the Wiki - Dar Adal is a CIA black operations director, and an old acquaintance of Saul Berenson. And Quinn's boss.

pettie4sox Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 Homeland: I think Dar Adal hatched this plot to make Lockheart look bad to get the CIA back in spooks hands and out of the politicians hands. That's the only reason I can see him working with a guy like Haqquani. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 New to Homeland. Just started watching last week and into the 2nd season now where Estes/Saul find out that Claire Danes actually knew what she was talking about... At first, this series didn't draw me in (the Nick Brody character, specifically) but now I'm getting into it. This show feels a lot like 24 to me, with a bit of House of Cards, The Blacklist and Person of Interest thrown in for good measure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 I thought the Newsroom finale was fine. A little boring with all the flashbacks, because we knew the outcomes, but it was touching and everyone came out happy. Nothing too dramatic, nothing too crazy. I agree this last season felt so disconnected. They really did a disservice to the show by not going a full season, or at least even 10 to give us some main arcs. I really liked the first few eoisodes with the FBI-Neal stuff, but then that kind of went away so fast that I had actually forgotten about Neal until he returned.....quietly. I found it weird he seemingly arrived to the ACN newsroom during the funeral for Charlie. Why wouldn't he just go there? Why sit in the office with those kids while everyone else is mourning the loss? And how come there was no big reunion with Neal and the gang? They kind of just quietly brought him back from exile and then dismissed him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 And yes, Homeland is awesome yet again. I just love Showtime right now. Ray Donovan to Homeland to Shameless is a great 42 weeks or so. Can't remember what fills the spring slot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 (edited) Reading all the posts here (refusing to read spoilers), I'm tempted to skip to Season 4 of Homeland. For a long time, I thought Brody was going to go in the typical direction and become a VP or President. When you watch it all together, it's yo-yoing way too much back and forth with Carrie and her various and sundry mental health issues. Michael Cuesta, who was also a Prison Break producer, had the same exact plot problem with that particular show...you can only go back to that well (mental illness recurrences or new prisons to escape from) so many times before it runs dry. Part of me was hoping for Abu Nazir to survive. Now, I'm stuck with a boring arc of Venezuelan exile with the only viewing solace being Esme (captor's daughter). And the psych ward and conspiracy theories overlaid on top of each other. Edited December 17, 2014 by caulfield12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 (edited) Of course, logic would tell us that Dar Adal's trying to get Lockhart fired so that Saul can return as head of the CIA...but that's going to require a huge rehabilitation of Carrie again so they can continue to be a team. Then Javadi and her new pseudo-Brody in ISI can remake the Middle East after that evil witch Nasmeen or whatever her name is gets taken out. So mad Zara's gone, too. That sucked.
