So, Raf put up his hotel as collateral so his troubled sister could maintain her medical malpractice insurance, and didn't even cut her out of his life even after she went back to the woman who murdered their father and kidnapped his child. But yeah, he's the shitty one.

I really hope they stop treating them as a package deal and we get lots of Luisa sans Rose. I'm ready for Luisa as the big bad and Rose is pretty played out.

Charming finale all the way around. From Jane's realization that working hard to overcome obstacles can be just as romantic as being meant-to-be to the flashback of Michael practicing his vows with Alba to the angsty Jane-Raf-Petra scenes to the fantasy ending with the paper cranes flying in the air - it was simply…

This is the part I find strange. Shonda seems intent on trying to make the audience love Maggie, so why throw her into a triangle with the only Greys couple left standing with a really large following? If you thought the Maggie hate was bad before, you should've read twitter last night. Just an odd, odd writing choice.

I'm not down for Maggie and Jackson (do they have even an ounce of sexual chemistry?), but I gotta say I loved April's reaction to them. She wasn't going to abide by Maggie's stammering and false protests for even a second and just called her out. April is pretty badass nowadays and I approve.

I thought the same thing about glowy heart meaning familial love too until I read this review, so much so that I had to go back and watch the scene. Some things I didn't notice at first, like the narrators' comments during the scene and Jane taking a nervous breath when she thought Rafael might be at the door, made me…

Is everyone thinking that Jane's glowy heart means she has romantic feelings for Rafael? I seem to recall glowy heart being used for familial love at times too (like Jane and Mateo). I guess next week will probably clarify either way.

Rafael doesn't know for sure, but once the cops said Louisa's GF was spotted on the beach the night Scott was murdered, he assumed Rose was involved. I don't think Jane knows anything yet.

That. Scene. Was. Awesome.

Exactly. Maggie tried to play it off that she was mad about Meredith lying to her for so long, but she was mad way before she even knew that. When she was pulling all her childish, passive aggressive crap, she thought the hook-up had just happened. So yeah, it wasn't Meredith lying to her for months - it was Meredith…

I think you're mis-reading Quinn's anger. He's mad because he thought Carrie cared about him and now feels like everything she's been doing to help him is out of guilt, not love. He's mad because the one person who he knows did care about him is dead and he contributed to that. He's mad because he thinks he's inhuman…

Glowy vagina! I thought this episode was hilarious. All the misreading of cues vs. what happened in reality was really funny and well done. Alba using any reason to mention Jorge like some lovestruck teen cracked me up. Rafael having glowy heart for Petra while she didn't seem to care was a nice turning of the tables.…

Loved this one. Best moments were the Keane-Dar confrontation, Saul sending Mira on a "paper chase" and the discovery of Carrie's board. There was a lot of plot churning forward and puzzle pieces coming together, but all in a believable, natural way. Can't wait to see how Carrie, Quinn, Saul and Max eventually take…

Such a great episode and so nice to have Rogelio back on track - his personality and storyline integration was so much better than it has been since the break. I continue to love Jetra as frenemies - it's really their best dynamic and this episode displayed both sides of their complicated bond perfectly. And as…

I'm assuming the ultimate person behind everything is bigger than O'Keefe. It seems like O'Keefe, stocking cap man and even Dar are ultimately puppets having their strings pulled by someone else, and none of these puppets know the full picture. Case in point - Dar didn't know stocking cap man was directed to kill…

But how could she mute herself and Saul, but they could still talk to each other? She must have a better cell phone than I do.

Overall, I enjoyed this one, but did find myself having to suspend my disbelief a little too much at moments. Really, the gun store wouldn't have more security, really? Really, Javadi was able to call Carrie so stealthy that nobody noticed and they also didn't hear Carrie and Saul's voices, really? Anyway, I was…

NY Times' Homeland reviews are usually pretty spot on. They balance the interesting plot twists with the character moments about as well as anybody. I do love the AV Club commenters best though.

Homeland is not a thriller. It is a study of the CIA's battle against terrorism and the havoc it wreaks on the lives of all involved. That includes their families, their assets, their enemies and themselves. It's been that way for six seasons now.

I feel like the time jump has basically been a wash in terms of the show - some good and some bad, so it evens out. Rafael and Petra are much better characters now, and the Jane-Rafael-Petra dynamic is a vast improvement from what is was before. The switch from constant double-crosses and schemes to healthy,…
