This is one of my very favorite shows and I never have anyone to talk about it with!! I haven't watched yet. H and I are trying to decide if we want to go ahead and reactivate Showtime through Hulu now, or wait and binge it all at once. We'll probably cave and do it sooner rather than later

So I had read somewhere it was picked up for 2 more seasons (presumably the last 2). And that the storyline was going to span both seasons instead of wrapping up like they normally do.

Umm, I'm pretty sure what Carrie and Saul did to Dominic (even if he survives) would never be admissible. However, I am loving this season. Frannie is so much better off if Maggie gets custody; it's not fair to put a child through that much stress/instability.

So I think I'm four episodes in. I feel like this season is already SO GOOD. I'm trying to slow my roll as I work through them because I'll be sad when it's done.

I’m really liking this season. It’s dramatic but not completely over the top.

Yes! I've been looking for homeland friends for ages.
Except I never watched last season? Did Quinn survive? I feel like the last thing I remember he was in the hospital after the nerve gas thing.
Carrie being unhinged is half the fun of the show, no?

MH and I laugh at how many times people ask Carrie if she is off her meds. It’s like 8x a show.

I didn't think last season sucked, but I do think it would be helpful to figure out WTF is happening this season.
To me, this season is the one that seems most connected to the last season. Usually seasons are mostly stand-alone seasons with a little character connection between them. But this feels like a true continuation of last season, though with a better focus.

Like, yes Carrie has a mental illness but I love that she’s talking about an attack on the country and her sister is like “what are you saying? You sound paranoid.”
Like, Carrie worked for the CIA. She might kinda know what she’s talking about.

In the sister’s defense, she sees Carrie as unemployed and off her meds. I would question her “working” too. But also, her sister lets in some unknown CIA guy and he’s like, “could the stuffed animal be in Carrie’s desk?” And she’s like, “sure! Go check it out!”

I was yelling at the tv, “why is everything Frannie needs in one drawer?” MH was like, “Cher. It’s a show. You need to relax.”

And why is Maggie so pissed off whenever she has to take the kids to school because Carrie can’t. Who TF takes them anyway?

Why doesn't Carrie have Saul tell Maggie she was working on something? He doesn't have to say what.

But you think this guy is working with the Russians and you still bring Frannie there to sleep over. And drop her off at school the next day like nothing happened. That part pissed me off. And then get mad at Saul

I am now caught up, except for last night's episode which I haven't watched yet.
I really love this season, and am starting to dislike Carrie like I did in the first Brody season.

Though I am a little confused by the role of President Keane this season.
Last season ended with her seeming like a one woman sleeper cell who was going to take down the country to push her own agenda. And then that's kind of how this season started, making her seem like a cold war crazy dictator. But now she's just cast as a fumbling president with no agenda other than trying to save the republic from the hands of the Russians.
I don't know if the writers pivoted on how they plan to use Keane or what her motivations are, but I'm confused by how her purpose seems to have fallen by the wayside in the last few episodes this year.

Carrie should really just give her sister custody of Frannie. My heart broke for her during the scene at school.
Where TF were all the feds who were supposedly guarding Dante's hospital room? How does a Russian/hospital worker just waltz in there and sit and nobody notices??
