Homeland has returned for a two-hour event that begins with “The Drone Queen.”
Yet, can Claire Danes' rule overcome Season 3’s mistakes?
TonightsHomelanddouble feature was a tale of two shows.
), she actually showcases a darkened new persona that is far more ruthless in its professionalism.
So, is it odd that Carrie seems to dread the birthday cake duty more?
This is nevertheless a potent return to the uncomfortable moment involving Issa from the first season.
Despite his increase in salary, the bearded man proves that its the same Saul, different job.
It is an uncomfortable hat to see Ms. Mathison wearing, and this is most true for Peter Quinn.
Suddenly, the number of minutes until Stoll is free to return toThe Straindrop dramatically.
Quinn then makes the decision to leave Sandy for dead.
Could they have done more?
We also learn once more why Quinn tried to get the hell out of her way.
The Drone Queen is a stunning reinvention ofHomeland, even if it does not occur in the Homeland.
…Unfortunately, this still must at least displace several season three strands, if not downright ignore them.
If this is the last we see of D.C. this season, it will be too soon.
Cards on the table, Carrie Mathison should have never become a mother.
She is not home for a single day before she almost drowns her daughter in a bathtub.
It is also in the tealeaves that Saul will be joining her.
Seeing Saul live in New York looked as unpleasant for him as that spiffy new suit.
However, Carrie will have the power now, which should create a unique new dynamic.
Meanwhile, Peter Quinn insists that he is out.
The kind that is birthed by violence and social media every day.
Carrie will obviously be interested about this new online lightning rod as she travels back into the story.
This two-part premiere exemplifies the very best ofHomelandand some of the worst.
Judging by the previews for next week, Im hopeful.
In closing for this premiere, the question remains what to rate it?
Objectively, Id say the crackerjack first hour was easily worth four out of five stars.
However, the second could at most be construed as two-and-a-half stars.
