Can we not pretend like peter quinn was the only great thing about homeland? he wasn't. it was a collective group of interesting characters that were, not just quin himself.
You are bang on right ! I remember watching this scene and telling myself, ' please God, let this peace remain. Let there be no more terrorists...let Carrie say YES to Quinn '....but of course, none of that happened...and thats why Homeland is Homeland .
Homeland was never the same without Quinn, as much as season 6 on-wards was good, they weren't the same and felt like I actually had to force myself through them without him.
Agreed. In fact I'm on last episode season 8 and I don't want it to end.. I'm delaying the inevitable and decided once i stomach the end I'm going to start again from season 1 to ease the pain of it ending. 😉😅😉
@@nicolamillar4958 That's exactly what I did 😂 rewatched the whole series after finishing the last season (with the exception of seasons 7 and 8 - it's just not worth it without Quinn). I miss it so much. And I didn't even like Carrie and Saul. It's mostly because of secondary characters, like Quinn, Max, Astrid, Dar Adal, Khan from season 4. Even that bitch Tasneem was amazing.
There was this scene where Carrie was dealing with Dana's eloping issue, and one commented, "maybe it was just a romeo and juliet puppy love thing." And she was like, "well, we know how that play ended..." Something along those lines. it was so funny, cuz Claire Danes was known to play Juliette in the Big Screen.
This is fantastic and I know a lot of people are griping about their personal funny moments missing, but my top spit takes of the series was Saul getting polygraphed when the tester asks him if he's some times called "The Bear" - "fuckin hope not."
I love homeland but first Brody went then Quinn... mmm hmmm I didn’t think Carrie alone would be that interesting on her own till I watched her beat the shit out of that hacker that was trying to blackmail her.
Pamela Woodward yeah it was S7! Probably should’ve put a spoiler alert.... sorry 😐 doesn’t give too much away though. I’m sure you’ll enjoy it when you watch it!👌🏻
"I'm am fucking breathing; I usually walk 2 blocks to the deli,it's flat"😂😁he has no idea how funny he is.G-d gave with both hands and broke the G-d damn mold.
So true.. it’s the lines he’s given or Mandy patinkin tone of voice.. I didn’t see him on criminal minds. He got switched w Joe Mantegna. I remember Mandy patinkin from Chicago hope tv show.
@@uponthewire9018 I'm late af I know haha ...I started watching Homeland very recently. I can't get over the last episode of s6 and idek if I want to continue watching.... I legit cried for almost an hour. I don't know why but I felt so much for this character. Every scene in this season was painful to watch...😭😭😭😭
Deanith I remember that heartbroken feeling. So many people have developed a profound attachment to Quinn as a character and that’s such a credit to Rupert Friend. I kept watching the show but it was not the same without him.
@@uponthewire9018 I want to continue watching but it will be a constant reminder of his absence. Idk why I felt so attached.. His character felt very real.
Because Carrie is a well known C.I.A agent she has even sat down with some of the biggest leaders there presenting herself as a C.I.A agent and to have her getting info from high up in the Russian government as a double agent despite the fact that she is a well know C.I.A agent makes no sense and it if yvgeny is giving her the info it wouldn't make sense either because in that same season he had betrayed and taken the black box showing his faith to his country so for him to just switch up on the Russian government like that makes no sense
Liam Deehan I see your points for sure and they are valid. There’s a lot of shows I have watched from beginning to end, this was by far my favorite and I guess I just wanted to like it and it worked for me.
This was the best! Though I'm a little disappointed you didn't include Astrid saying "Awool?' in S4E11. That always makes me chuckle. Otherwise, great stuff.
About 26mins in to s1e12, if anybody happens to read this and cares to check. Brody's kid is furiously punching Brody's hands while wearing a karate gi. The line delivery and the fast punching sent me. "This is good! Excellent! I can't feel my hands."
I know right. That was a stellar scene. Especially if you saw the actual episode. I am going to binge on season 1 off GP today. I have 6. I hope not too long b4 7 on GP.
Upon The Wire -did you put this together? Well done. I find something else everytime I watch it.I love the part where Saul is walking in the dessert and he's breathing hard.And they tell him to calm down and breathe. He says I'm fucking breathing. I usually walk 2 blocks to the deli and it's flat.😂
0:05 Shortly after the publication of Tyranny of Secrets, when it seemed you couldn’t escape a mention of Mathison or her book wherever you went... Throughout the book, Mathison disassembles the public’s understanding of several prominent figures and highlights others we had no idea existed. A significant portion of her book is dedicated to essentially rewriting the story of Nicholas Brody, the American Marine prisoner of war who returned home in late 2011 as a hero and just over a year later was implicated in the 12/12 bombing of the CIA headquarters. Of all the revelations in her book, her claim that Brody was in fact innocent of that bombing and that CIA brass knew it is one of the most shocking. After Brody died in 2013 on a covert mission, she lobbied Andrew Lockhart, then CIA Director, for one of those stars on the Memorial Wall, the private memorial-one star for every CIA employee who lost their life-that greets everyone as they walk through the lobby of the Agency’s headquarters. “He basically told me that despite whatever Brody had done at the end, his earlier actions disqualified him. That wasn’t the first time I’d heard that. That he would always be the person who put on a suicide vest. The person who made that tape. It was completely lost on him that he was putting 219 stars on the Wall for people who’d died at a memorial for a man who dropped a bomb on a school full of children. That person was deserving of a star, but Brody wasn’t?” Once denied, she didn’t push it. “I was hyper aware of how this appeared to everyone, of course. I wasn’t completely oblivious.” She’s referring now to another major revelation in her book: her years-long affair with Brody, which started a few weeks after he returned from captivity and lasted until his death. I’ll admit that I was a bit gobsmacked when I got to that part of the book. The woman whose job was hunting terrorists ends up falling for one? It’s the stuff of tabloids and soap operas. Yet it lends a propulsive, page-turning quality to the book that has kept it at the top of the New York Times Best Seller List for months. (One American journalist who has covered the intelligence community for years tells me their relationship was an open secret at Langley, but to the general public, it was certainly news.) It also gives easy fire to her critics, who have predictably used the relationship to discredit her. It is this indiscretion more than any other (and there are others: her use of illegal surveillance to gather intelligence on Brody and his family; providing authorization to bomb a Pakistani wedding party; or setting a honey trap for the nephew of former Taliban leader Haissam Haqqani… to name a few) that her detractors have latched onto more than any other. Mathison is mostly unbothered by these critiques. “I couldn’t tell my story without telling Brody’s story, because I shaped it, knowingly and willingly. It would be dishonest to pretend otherwise, and I didn’t want to be dishonest in this book,” she says matter-of-factly. Beautiful analysis on Brody :) He is not a terrorist. He is a person with a broken spirit. They broke his mind, yes, but he was also a victim of "destiny" or fate. He fell in love with Issa. This broke his heart. Nicholas Brody is Dorothy's 3 companions: he lost his heart with the death of Issa (Tin-Man), he lost his mind (after 8 years torture and redemption) and he lost his soul with his actions (Lion). Killing people isn't a solution... well nothing justifies the Vice President for killing all those innocent children either, an eye for a eye. This VP was Actually an asshole I am not saying assholes deserve to die but Brody was a true man compare to him. I am glad this show contains such controversy as killing civilians while chasing terrorists and also breaking civil rights and even human rights. There is never Just an evil and good in War (there is an exception Nazis, fascists, communists and imperial ''nazi'' Japan who were true and pure evil) Now nowadays the situation is way more complicated. Brody: "i liked you Carrie" Carrie: " i LOVED YOU"
giannis mavromatis I’m still exhausted from making the second edition lol! Plus idk if i can squeeze any more humor outta this show, but we’ll see. Very glad that you like it though
That's what everyone said when Brody died (except me). Then Quinn came along, everyone forgot about Brody practically. Maybe we get another character we love in season 8.
Yeah what can I say. This was one of my first vids and i was teaching myself from scratch and it didn’t sound that loud until I uploaded it. It’s far from perfect-sorry to your ears!
The scenes aren't even funny....the fact that we know these scenes are pretty serious so when they put music like this behind it, the whole thing automatically becomes funny lmao
What do you mean 'that time it was funny' the show was so preposterous it was a laugh riot.Its Team America as written by someone who didnt realise it was satire.
Season 7 is the only season that sucked, imo. It was strongest in its early days, 1 to 3. 4 was a tough transition. 5 was pretty good. 6, equally so. 7, 7 was rough. 8 was a solid end all things considered. Rare for a series to have an alright end. Don't know what happened in season 7, just didn't do it for me. Also I loved the scene where Brody is car pressure washing himself on the side of the highway, hahaha
