Greetings from Lithuania.
"Long Time Coming" was a great entry to "Homeland" saga. Before you will start throwing rocks at me, here is why i think it was great. Being the last episode of the superb season 4, it took a bit unusual plot for usually groundbreaking last episodes of the seasons (i talk about shows in general).
Spoilers alert.
By the end of "Long Time Coming" nothing of "BOM BOM" happens. And i wasn't disappointed, because in this season a lot of "BOM" stuff already happened, and not every day in real life (witch "Homeland" always represents in first place) groundbreaking things happens! Thing for which i love "Homeland" in first place was always realistic approach to real life, not overblown with twists and plausible events. I liked "Long Time Coming" for exact things - everything was realistic and plausible and hey, like i said, not every day something unusual or groundbreaking happens. In real life, bad guys not always dies at the end. Watching this episode i also like many viewers expected that in this or this second something will blow up and etc. but at the end it left me surprised and satisfied of how smoothly they finished the season but not the story which will continue in season 5. Chapter closed.
Overall, huge applause for creators of this truly unique show, which i think deserves to be placed as one of the best TV shows ever created. I will look forward for next season even more now, because for 4 seasons i was witnessing amazing show, and i believe it will continue for many more years.
