“BIG MAN IN TEHRAN”
Meter Reading: 96/100
Long Live Brody! Long Live
Brody! Long Live Brody!
So here we are, one more
episode left with Homeland again at its best giving the people what they want.
Brody, taking another life of a highly-elected official in his own office,
nonetheless.
I don’t care that Quinn
knows Carrie is pregnant and did nothing to stop her from going into a
dangerous environment. I don’t care that Carrie’s disguise wasn’t really a
disguise at all. I don’t care that Saul sent Carrie on another mission, when he
knew what a loose cannon she is. I don’t care that Akbari’s men left him in his
office alone with Brody, a known terrorist and murderer. I don’t care that this
show doesn’t make sense. I love this show, you love this show, even if you are
yet to come to terms with it.
What’s so great about
this show (let me caveat and say, when the show chooses to be great) is that we
have never experienced characters with these personalities, these MO’s, these
backstories, these highs and these lows. I will go on record and say that they
are the most unique set of characters I have ever watched on TV. The show has
carved out a niche, unreplicable (this is not a word, but again, I don’t care)
by any.
So what’s next? Are we,
as an audience, so satisfied with the last 3 episodes that we do not care what
happens in the finale? The answer is no. I know I have just kissed a lot of Homeland
booty in the preceding paragraphs but I am a firm believer that the legacy of
this show will be determined by Sunday’s Season 3 finale.
So what’s going to
happen????? We know they’ve signed up for a Season 4, but we do not know who is
alive and who is not. Let’s get to the predictions.
PREDICTIONS:
- Brody is abruptly killed within the first minute of the
episode as Akbari’s men storm into his office
- Fast forward to 5 months later, and Carrie’s baby is
born and has red hair
ENJOY THE SEASON FINALE, EVERYBODY!
