It's like the series got taken over in the last episodes by Fox News


After working a complex and exceedingly tense plot all through this season, Homeland really smashed up and went into crazy mode, especially in the finale. There was so much wrong with the last episodes that it hardly merits discussion because they scuttled the whole season in those last episodes. What a shame.

Fox news?? She is the power-hungry democrat in the story, who was innocent but still did some dictator-moves -> and then in the end she resigns and gives the more partisan vice president the go

What dictator moves?

First that comes to mind is in the beginning of the series, her arresting 200 guys in the beginning and holding them for 2 months in a cell; second thing her firing all the guys in her cabinet she thought are perhaps against her (and could vote her out)

Open war in the streets of America .... that seemed like a completely rational response to me. Hell, they ought to do that now to all the Republicans who are subverting the country in the name of Trump and Russia.

We have a President who cannot be trusted with secrets to the point that the intelligence agencies withhold information from him, and he must be babysat like a 3 year old or he says something and gets in trouble, and we have what looks like a vocal number of scumbags like that Brett guy who are trying to drive the US into civil war - which is just what Russia wants.

The worst thing has been to do nothing, and my biggest complaint about Obama.
