Homeland: Long Time Coming (2014)
Season 4, Episode 12
1/10
Painful Episode
21 December 2014
Warning: Spoilers
Just awful as far as season ending shows go. All character development, no action. Awkward dialogue, pointless plot tangents, and wholly without climax or purpose. This episode belonged in the 3 or 4 spot in the season, not in the end spot. Perhaps the director was trying to scare the viewer into thinking something dramatic was about to happen, but after 4 or 5 instances of action starvation, the story flat-lined and we are left hallow and annoyed. We don't care about Carrie's family, her ugly kid, or her missing mom... what about getting the bad guy? having the good guys win one for God and country? giving purpose to Carrie's existence and tireless pursuit against evil? No, instead let's sit around and eat lasagna. How strange.

Well, I guess we know where Season 5 is going now. Good for Sal I guess, but Carrie is more annoying than ever and extremely unlikable as our protagonist. Perhaps Quinn should assume that role next year. Perhaps the writers will remember that spy shows need some spying.
