Mark Moses can never not be an assh*le LOL

That ending was intense. Saul was with them, Aayan getting his head blown off, Carrie wanting to bomb them all & almost attacking one of her subordinates. Damn.

Carrie's verbal assault of Fara was completely unwarranted. I mean, we've always seen them getting along and suddenly Carrie was acting like she hates her. It feels some scenes were missing inbetween lol But later Fara WAS a complete idiot not realizing someone had come in & not putting two and two together.

I am terrified for Carrie. They'll mess with their meds now that they know and we all know where that leads. (to great drama!)

You are so right. This changes everything. It leaves it wide open to any number of paths. Yay!

The Carrie hallucination sequences were exceptional. Claire Danes DID. THAT!! It was so good, I just about felt as if I was right there with her, and in the same trance. The last scene when f-cking BRODY appeared out of nowhere completely got me, I was believing that mess and on the verge of tears. LOL. DAMN this show. I must say though that I actually hate this twist, this disgusting twist of the ambassadors trifling husband switching Carrie's meds. While it provided more stunning Claire Danes work, I can't help but be disappointed the show chose the crazy crutch again w/her. It's so old and I would've rather seen Carrie strong for this. Would've been great to see her realize her meds didn't look or feel the same and get help/try to find out who switched them ASAP. Right now, It's riveting yet painful to watch. I desperately need to see Professor Boyd get lynched for this before the season ends.

That was a bold, shocking scene with Saul & Haqqani debating 9/11 & Al Qaeda at the table. I admire the shows fearlessness with exploring that topic. Saul's "You're teaching an entire generation to leave one foot in the after life" comment especially stood out. OMG, so intense.

WHAAAAAT. OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG

Carrie's hallucinations. I just have no words. Danes is terrific at them! Have we just seen Emmy #3 (or at least, nomination)?

Agreed - the twist with her meds is so painful and feels like we've been there before but we are getting some amazing material out of it.

BRODY!!! My God, it felt so good to have him back, even for a little bit. He is such a big part of the fabric of the show, even if they've moved on in a way. I knew the sexy general was at the house but I didn't expect Carrie to see him as Brody. OMG.

Basically everything AllMyDays said.

It was a brilliant little scene, especially since it made good points for both sides. HOMELAND does well when it serves up this kind of ambiguity.

This motherf-cking show! OMG, it plays too many games w/me. It's soo good but not, but just is. The Saul scenes were thrilling & maddening. Honestly, they should've killed him off right there. Would've been perfect - Carrie keeping her promise to him in the end.

^^ LOVING this low key dude. Anyone else want him & Carrie to have hot sex by the end of the season. So glad he's on her side & gave her all the goods on Boyd! This is going to be GLORIOUS watching the CIA nail that buffoon. I especially can't wait to see Martha finding out about her trifling husband.

...Pumped!

After watching episode 8 I was so bloody satisfied when Carrie realized what the hell happened that I forgive everything that lead up to it. I mean, thinking about it, we had to know it was coming. LOL. They threw in that wrench to up the drama, and spark up this relationship with Carrie/General Khan, so I'm cool w/it now. Eating crow. I was so worried that Khan was against Carrie and going to hold her captive or some sh!t and It's just so refreshing that that's not the case. This is really good stuff I think. Wow.

Oh and Danes has to be nominated and WIN. The show must be in the running and win again as well. I mean as frustrated as I've been with this season, it has still been top notch in the story/thrill department more than ever and the last 4 eps are shaping up to be outstanding. After a rocky 3rd season, the show is back in supreme fashion and deserves a shot at all the top prizes next year. LOVING it and can't wait to see what they have in store for season 5. Stoked.

        I just read the intro and first chapter and I'm already hooked. I know she had a co-author, but I can tell Kim is a firecracker and I'd love to have wine with her and talk sh!t haha. It makes reading the book pretty easy and entertaining. Intro - I had no idea she got a DUI! She shared 3 bottles of wine with a friend at dinner one night in LA, got in her car, was pulled over and thrown in jail overnight.  She admitted it wasn't her first time drinking and driving, but learned a valuable lesson that night. Out of the gate, she's not holding back or hiding anything. Chapter 1 - the announcement that GL was being cancelled. She was driving to Peapack and got a call from Bradley Cole who told her the news. First, that's BS that as one of the faces of GL, you hear the big news from a fellow co-star on your way to work. Granted, the "suits" were traveling to Peapack that day to tell the cast and crew, but still, seems icky. Ironically the news came on April Fools Day. Apparently that was the last day the network could decide whether to cancel or renew, but to Kim's point, couldn't they just pick the day before to avoid the callousness of the 'holiday'. Obviously a sad day in GL history. I thought it was funny, she said the one thing she thought of is "what would Susan Lucci do" in this situation, post-cancellation. And of course she said she'd "find something to hawk on the Home Shopping Network"  You all would know better than me, but part of the title of her book is "seven husbands" and in her intro, she uses Reva's full name: Reva Shayne-Lewis-Lewis-Spaulding-Lewis-Winslow-Cooper-Lewis-Lewis-O'Neill.  However, in the first chapter, she said Bradley Cole was "her 8th (or was it 9th?) husband". Well, Kim, that already contradicts the title of your book and your character's name you touted. 
    • He also was following Holly May 22, 2025 per update (link to post) from @JAS0N47  
    • I was incredibly moved by these scenes, especially Peter's performance. It felt so tender and real, especially when you remember Bo just got out of a years-long coma and wasn't going to be able to put up a front. You're reminded of how long these legends have populated the show when you have a 70 year old man grieving men who were almost 90 or 100, but Bo's response to Victor's death was a poignant reminder of how fresh these wounds are no matter your age. Normally these types of moments don't even make it in soap episodes in recent decades as they are seen as too boring. The more somber moments being balanced by Bo meeting his grandchildren was also lovely.  And the scene where Bo forgave Shawn may be the only time I've been in lock with Brandon Beemer's take on the part.  There's a certain element of suffocation with soaps, as shown here, when you remember so many of the kids are named after long dead relatives, or when they grew up, were paired with the kids of other longtime characters. That aspect always makes me yearn for new blood (new blood that doesn't suck, anyway), but there are other moments, like those with Bo, which make me appreciate all the history the show has.
    • A funny scene, Roger and Sonni go out to eat, at that place that had a colonial theme (I love when soaps have very specific places to eat..I hated the diners on GL, ATWT and AW) and this is just after Rog came back and Sonni hit the headlines and the waitress scremes.."Oh, Roger Thorpe, and YOUR...please dont' hurt me..." and they are all like, "Hey, were just hungry!" (most soaps now have someone go on a murder spree and the rest of the cast and extras look like they havent heard about it."
