So it only took a season and a half for Arya to realise that being anonymous with no friends or family and murdering people for no reason is not actually that cool an existence after all

'It’s fitting that they have almost no effect on the episode’s outcome. Dany rejects their help. She rescues herself.'

Sure but they are reviews of specific episodes, every review on here feels like a review of the series as a whole where there's a great deal of philosophical reflection on what Homeland is all about as a show as though there is some word quota to be met

Anyone else find these reviews unnecessarily wordy? There's 4/5 pretty chunky paragraphs to get through before anything from this weeks episode is actually covered. Almost worth just scrolling down to the 'stray observations' where most of the talk about the actual episode seems to be.

I agree, it seems kinda crazy to me that the reviewer thinks that the Russian outlook is the one that the show is trying to uphold when the Russians this series are the mega villains willing to allow a sarin attack on innocent civilians.

They could well have reshot that scene to include the Paris reference

Yes I think the reviewer has forgotten a few things. Saul didn't consider Carrie leaving the CIA a betrayal: she considered him to have made the betrayal by going along with Dar's shady dealings.
