SPOILER ALERT: You’re a twat if you haven’t seen it yet, but Homeland’s season finale changed everything.  Where do they go from here?




Poor Dana. If Brody’s not in D.C., we probably won’t see his family on an episode-to-episode basis. (What about Chris’s soccer games?!) But it’s time for Dana to join forces with Carrie, as some kind of junior agent in the family-name-clearing division. If we don’t see Jess or Mike again, whatever. But Dana’s going to have to channel her grief and rage into something. It might as well be as Teen Girl Detective. You’d be surprised how little teenage sneering terror suspects can tolerate before they break and spill all their secrets.

It’s the lies that undo us; it’s the lies we think we need to survive. When was the last time you told the truth? — Carrie Matheson, Homeland
