Why do you assume he disabled the nanny's phone because of GPS when he specifically said "they're listening?" Makes more sense that he took out the SIM card so that the phone couldn't be connected to a mobile network and tapped into as a listening device. Plus, all he showed Carrie on his phone were photos he took…

We know Quinn disabled the nanny's phone because he thought it could be used as a listening device, so it's a pretty logical leap that he did the same thing to his own phone. I guess the writers could've included a scene of Carrie trying to call Quinn and not getting an answer, but it's not like it was essential to…

Exactly. It's obvious by now that Carrie is being set-up in some way, since we know the man watching Carrie's home also planted the bomb. And, since the culprits are also connected enough to likely be behind the wire tapped call sent to Carrie, finding some rowdy protestors to instigate violence wouldn't be hard for…

So, I know lots of people are going to post insightful and thoughtful comments on this important episode, but before they do, I have to add this one thing…. Zen Rafael is hot - jury's out on the beard - but the hair and the clothes and the attitude and being a good friend to his baby mamas - just hot, hot, hot. That's…

Perhaps the Iranian plot is simply to reinforce how these random terror events end up with the US going overboard in the wrong direction? As Carrie noted, everyone lost their mind after 9/11, so much so that we invaded a country that had nothing to do with the attack. In that vein, I can see how a Muslim suicide…

True and I can't help but think that the "Alex Jones" radio host was introduced in episode two for this very reason.

Agreed with the "false flagging." Homeland is at its best when the audience is in the same position at the characters - being presented with various pieces of information but uncertain of what they all mean. I enjoyed last season, but having Alison's duplicity revealed so early diffused much of the mystery.

I think the likeness between S6 Quinn and S1 Carrie is intentional, but I'm not quite sure why you'd describe it as "too close." I think it's interesting that Carrie has now become so stable/established in her thinking that she is dismissing Quinn's instincts as nutty, just the way that Saul did with hers in S1. It's…

What is this "white-knuckle pace of seasons past" of which you speak? I honestly don't get it. I've watched all the seasons of Homeland at least a couple times and this impression of Homeland as some kind of full throttle thriller is foreign to me. Save for last week's slog, this season seems just like every other…

Gotta say, I feel both sad and excited. Michael was a great character and it's hard to imagine this show without his goofy charm. I'd never call myself a Jane and Michael shipper, but they were very sweet together and I really enjoyed watching their healthy, supportive relationship. Ultimately though, these writers…

Yes, Homeland is now that RomCom you watch to whistfully escape the realities of your real-life experience

C'mon Quinn - Carrie ain't gonna hit that until you take a shower - a girl has got to have her standards.

Petra, honey, I adore you and you're one of my favorite characters. But Rafael taking action to keep you from stealing his company from him doesn't make him evil. It makes him a normal human. Learn the difference and you'd probably have more friends.

He was getting a blowjob in the premiere so the equipment *seems* to be in order

Great episode all the way around. The twist that Carrie was working with Keane after lying to Saul so effectively was a good one. Plus, I'm excited she will now be logically entertwined with Saul and Dar this season. Dar freezing Saul out of the discussions and information is also intriguing and, of course, makes…

Yeah, I thought it was a pretty standard premiere too and I'm interested in the set-up, especially with whether this Muslim kid is really the innocent Carrie thinks he is and whatever it is Dar Adal is up to. If someone wants 24-like action, Homeland has NEVER been that show, especially in a season premiere. Even in…

Lol, those are pretty exact percentages.

Yeah, I was gonna say the same thing. I think #TeamJess probably still outnumbers #TeamLogan, but both guys have really large fanbases from what I see online. Of course, both fanbases now seem to pale in size to #TeamNotRory

Yeah, just a few scenes with Odette could've made the cheating story much more understandable and impactful. Since Odette was living in another city for much of their relationship and Logan referenced their marriage as part of the "dynastic plan," it seems quite plausible their union was forced on them by their…

I enjoyed the revival series as a whole. Emily's overall arc was the best part, followed closely by Lorelai's "Wild" epiphany call to Emily. And even though it was a little unbelievable that Luke and Lorelai didn't get married sometime in the last 10 years, their characterization felt right and I loved Luke's kitchen…
