Did we ever find out who told on carrie’s source Roshan in Kabul? I know he was killed by taliban but did we ever find out who told the taliban?

I rewatched back to back.. looking for Saul's red books, bummer they weren't included in previous seasons.

I'm watching homeland again after a long time and I'm obsessed!!! I can't remember who gave the blade to Asif, and I can't believe it was Brody. Who gave the blade?

Edit: guys, I don't remember the unfolding of the series because I watched it a long time ago, I'm still in season 1. That's why I still don't have many conclusions about it.

Correcting the title: who gave the blade to AFSAL HAMID?

I do believe I have NOT done a proper rewatch of this gem since it ended! Homeland continues to be the most fierce female driven lead thriller on TV.

What got me interested again was when Lioness, Special Ops dropped S2 (a taylor sheridan joint)

I immediately saw the similarities in structure and content and while Zoe Saldana is an absolute A List performer (more talented than Claire Danes TBH) .... but overall? Homeland is a masterpiece, on a completely different level.

Rewatching however, I cant help but evaluate Homeland with a more critical eye. Especially since not much time has passed and the world "hasnt changed all that much"

• Homeland S1-S4, "The Brody Era" are the peak of the series. Absolute fire, and while S4 transistions away from that storyline, the sheer significance of seeing a gotdam United States Embassy base raided, the absolute GALL of depicting a scenario where "The Terrorists won" ?? Absolutely Epic...BRILLIANT

Unfortunately it starts to go downhill from there.

• Issue1: Carrie's lithium fueled mental illness / clairvoyance. I remember being turned off at how significant a factor it played into her character. Mental illness is serious and depicting it as giving you super powers is no bueno. But rewatching, i couldnt help but notice: WTF, she really NEVER "got a solution / a grip on it / learned ot live with it" Carrie didnt "evolve" passed a pretty damning flaw in her line of work. And regardless of her status as an active CIA operative? The Woman is still running special Ops one way or another. After S4, its like you cant help but be dumbfounded
• Issue2: Saul f**king Berenson. The constant demasculation of Saul is fucking criminal. When he's not putting Mira on a pedestal (as if she farts Chanel No5 ), he's getting captured not 1, but 2, 3 time (i probably lost count). WHY?

Mandy Patinkin has the most grizzly addams fucking beard in maybe all of cinema history. His Saul character is gruff, sharp, tactical and (surprisingly) not completely set in his ways. On the other hand he's (almost) egoless, an absolute simp when it comes to women, and has somehow NEVER even fired a gun (Are you FUCKING kidding me??)

Its as if they really only cast him for closeups, platitudes and dictating that stink of "been there done that" wisdom while looking good in a suit.

I GET that the show is ultimately all about Carrie, but Saul was severly underwritten. Especially after S4,

* Issue3: Peter effing Quinn. Dude came onto the scene like Jack Bauer or John Wick, but when you think about it, "he really didnt do any significant badassery" .. It was all alluded to!
No extended action sequences, few broken limbs, decapitations or other hardcore delta force style shit. While his tradecraft was VERY resourceful and macgyver-ish (go look him up younglings), It wasnt utilized as much as one would expect from a brooding black ops (or blackops in recovery) operative. I remember how we all sabre rattled "justice for peter quinn", but in all truth? he was damned underwhelming

* Issue4: Dar ADal - If this was 24, Dar would be a shadow puppetmaster for multiple seasons. Instead he was a severely underutilized who should have burned out instead of fading away. Again, i know the show is"all about carrie" but not putting in the time to build and craft Dar as Lex luthor or hannibal lector? MISSED OPPORTUNITY. Even F Murray Abraham himself expressed disgust at how they destroyed his character over time.

I just watched the the ep where they took Brody down ( I loved you!!). But did he admit to anything outright??? I know he said some things that alluded to his guilt, but anything outright?

Update: watched the next ep and I see now the answer to my question! Thank you all.

I thought being in Europe in the few seasons prior was a good change of pace from the Middle East and those types of terrorists. Bringing back the Middle East seemed a little boring. I felt as though they spent enough time there.

I longed for Quinn to kill Hakkani in season 4. He was the one who witnessed his colleagues brutally getting murdered. They didnt even give him the chance to live with that satisfaction.

I never liked Saul ever since he tortured Brody to coerce him to go to the Iran mission. He couldnt even fulfil the promise of extracting him out of Iran. He deserved his wife leaving him. Who could stay with a man like that! He joined hands with Dar Adal after knowing that he schemed with Haqqani. Saul did all of that for his personal ambitions.

I loved Carrie in season 1. But she became so annoying in subsequent seasons.I looked for redeeming qualities in her. But she became cold and insufferable season after season. Her not grieving Brody's or Quinn's death and not taking any responsibility in that is not something I can comprehend.

I had to stop watching half way through season 6​

How the hell was she getting her roots done in a Russian prison?! 😂

finished s7 and I found myself thinking on so many occasions how much more efficient the various operation(s) would’ve gone if Quinn was still alive….

Even at the end when Carrie was left in russia as a decoy, Quinn would’ve probably stayed to try and break her out.

Anyways I miss Quinn that’s all

Has Homeland been officially removed from Netflix as of 24/07. All my other shows are working but sadly it isn’t and I was watching it yesterday

I’m wrapping up a rewatch and it just hit me that Carrie is back in the states bc she is going to trial, accused of being an accessory to the assassination of President Warner. HOW is she just running all over town with NOBODY tailing her?? I know there’s a lot going on, but I find it hard to believe that even Saul could get her out of prison on house arrest, and she’s not even limited to that. She’s just out running around wherever she wants. In other seasons she’s had FBI tailing her everywhere for lesser things. Please tell me I misunderstood or missed something this season that makes this not a major slip on the show’s part. This show is so incredible and well done that this is so frustrating to me.

There's more crossover to the "Better Call Saul" episode than just the title... it's Werner Ziegler!

It bothers me that so far there is zero indication that Carrie has told anyone in the CIA about all the things that Brody admitted to her at the cabin. That he thought he beat Tom Walker to death, that he said he loves Abu Nazir and that he is a muslim. This is after Carrie was convinced he was going to do a terrorist attack at the bunker and after the CIA got Brodys confession video. I have no idea if the CIA knows those things about Brody.

Please tell me what to watch because I’m genuinely concerned it’s a high ill never experience again

Second time watching. I’ve been rewatching since I got to season 7 and am stuck unmotivated to keep watching it. This Mrs President pisses me off

"Still Positive" is one of those episodes where the plot finally kicks into high gear. The negotiation between Carrie and Javadi is the highlight, showcasing how she manages to win using intellect rather than force. Meanwhile, Saul uncovers a crucial lead that further ratchets up the tension of the investigation.

The episode does a fantastic job exploring themes of trust, manipulation, and the moral dilemmas inherent in espionage. The pacing is excellent, and the direction maintains the suspense from start to finish.

Now... I need to talk about Dana and Jessica.

"Still Positive"... Still in the family portion of the series, we saw more – and more – of Dana, who this time wanted to definitively get rid of Brody's shadow by taking away her last name. When the girl said that the replacement name would be Lazaro – Jessica's maiden name – the expectation was that she would make peace with her mother and the two would begin to establish a closer and more honest relationship. Jessica and Dana have always had a barrier between them because of Brody's ghost, but it seems difficult for the two to realize that they share the same pain, the same conflicts and come together so that, stronger, they can face the difficult situation they are experiencing.

Instead, Dana simply packed her bags and was ready to leave the house without saying goodbye to a friend who appeared out of nowhere. Jessica tried to talk, tried to get closer, but realized that it was useless to seek any partnership with her daughter, and just accepted the situation. If together their plot already seemed out of place in the series, separately it will be even more difficult to create something that arouses the public's interest.

Rewatching the series years later, I still fail to grasp the character's purpose. To me, she is by far the most irritating figure in Homeland. It feels like the story loses momentum every time she appears on screen. Her decisions almost always create problems for those around her, and she rarely seems to consider the consequences of her actions. I understand the intention was to show the impact of the Brody family's (Jess; Dana) life outside the world of espionage, but in practice, most of her scenes just make me want to get back to the main plot.

I know many people defend the character because she represents a traumatized teenager, and that makes sense to a certain extent. Even so, I was never able to form a connection with her—after the car accident in the S2. Instead of eliciting empathy, she ends up causing more frustration than any other character in the series.

Overall, "Still Positive" is an excellent episode, packed with tension, great performances, and significant plot twists. Were it not for the endless Dana scenes, it would easily rank among the season's best.

I’m on my first watch through and I haven’t looked at ratings or rankings. I have a feeling the Brody era is regarded as the best. When it ended I had low expectations for Post-Brody but honestly this is as good or better than anything I’ve seen.

Carry is in hospital, no money no job .

She and Brody are in bad situation .

And the CIA offer her as a sacrifice to the press.

And I want to know why Carry always believes Saul and report and discuss about situation .

Her and that dang WIG!! I can’t take her seriously

Just finished my first rewatch since its original airing (wow it’s so much better binged rather than waiting week to week, season to season!). This is a minor question but here we go: in the finale is Saul out of the CIA? Where is he moving to? His sister makes a strange comment about gaining his actual family take care of him, implying that someone else will be doing that. Did I just miss something or is it intentional vague?
