Can we discuss Homeland?
If you didn’t watch the season premiere yet, don’t read this! But if you did, let’s discuss!
1. The Brody Baby a.ka. Frannie. Did I miss why they named her that? Frannie? Sorry if that is your name but that is a tough name for an infant. Also not so cute (I know I am going to hell). Good job on casting that kid though. Def passes as Brody’s baby.
2. I literally was freaking out when Carrie was about to drown her. I know she is super crazy but I was not going to be able to watch the show anymore if she actually did it. She makes me feel better about my own parenting skills. I hope they never show her with Frannie again. Way too disturbing.
3. No shock on my part Carrie was leaving the minute she arrived in the U.S. I am sure you were thinking the same thing, right? She is in danger to her own daughter if she stays. I just need to understand who is actually raising her daughter. Her sister who has a full-time job, 2 grown-kids and a husband we have never ONCE met?! Who are those people? Do they exist? Does her father live with the sister also? It is all so confusing. Or maybe it is me.
4. Quinn, Oh Quinn. Is there chemistry between him and Carrie or am I imaging it? By the way, he was much hotter last year. He is obviously having a very rough time and losing his mind from all of the people he has killed.
5. The apartment manager. Well to say the sex scene was eye-opening, that would be an understatement. Not because she is heavy, because it was so unexpected, drunk and raw.
6. The note the apartment manager left on Quinn’s door. At this point I started to like her, feel bad for her and wonder what Quinn was thinking. Was he going to keep fucking her? Was this going to turn into a relationship? Are we going to see more of her? Why is he living in that apartment anyway?
7. And of course Saul. I have NO IDEA how he is still married. His wife is miserable, she had a full-blown affair but stayed for what? She really loves him? We know he is 100% leaving New York and going to return to run the CIA. What else would they do with his character. Do you think his wife going to move back with him?
8. Lastly, the med-school student Aayan Ibrahim. What was in the vials he dropped off to his girl friend? Until next week….

P.S Did you watch “The Affair” yet on Showtime?? First episode premiered last week. Go on Demand. It’s a goodie (once you get passed the first 10 minutes). It is total Lifetime TV but it’s great brainless TV before bed!
LOVE that show! The two hour ep. flew by. I was sick to my stomach with the baby-in-the-tub scene. I think they almost crossed the line with that one, and I am no prude to extreme content, having worked at a premium cable channel for many years. But that was too much. I keep thinking the baby is a boy dressed in girl clothes. Uncanny how it looks just like Brody! No shocker that Carrie flees, and I’m sure Saul and his wife will be splitsville, when he comes back to Washington.
A little late to the party, hut the wonderful world of streaming has me rewatching Homeland. The ugly baby, looks exactly like Brody. People who do what Quinn does, are just sociopaths who happen to be killing for God and Country, they rarely start to lose it. They are usually plucked out of the military for showing the characteristics of a sociopath, and having the psych evaluation to back it up. They usually have a multitude of pathologys like OCD, bulimia/anorexia, and a fixation on their physical selves, because there is no actual personality to worry about. Carrie giving her sister an attitude because she had the audacity to tell her that she is responsible for her own kid, just gors along with the rest of her nut bag self. She is a manipulative, self serving manic depressive, who when she doesn’t get her way, she tries to either bully or fuck the problem into compliance. She even tried to rub up against Saul in season 1 when She was in trouble, and is proven to be the living example of why, “the ends do not justify the means”, she breaks every rule, and keeps getting away with it. God forbid she gets called on her shit, she cries. Am I the only one annoyed by the fact that she cries in every single episode of this show?
