Homeland Season 6 Episode 5
Well that escalated quickly, didnt it?
… and it would not be good.
This would be a game changer in American policy.
All this informs a terrific hour whereanythingthat could go wrong for Carrie does.
Apparently, the intelligence agencies that planned the faux-terrorist attack timed it perfectly.
Sekou was young, foolish, and angry to romanticize suicide bombers.
Adal himself also has put the plan into lightning quick motion.
Adal meanwhile may have to do something about Saul Berenson.
Maybe Saul is unintentionally digging his own grave to be taken down in the purported web of Carrie Mathison?
Alas though, this was misdirection for what the hour really had in store for Peter.
And he takes protecting her to horrible results.
It is all very dramatic, perhaps even excessively so.
Still, the damage is done.
It could give him a nice moment of pity before washing his hands like Pontius.
In the immediate drama, though, Carrie is just relieved that Franny is safe.
That makes one of them, at least.
For the sake of the series, they have to prove this is a coup, right?!
So who really knows.
Of course, she shouldnt have, given it wasnt what the media is now saying.
But I dont see facts mattering any more for her than they do for our 2017.
Both of which are grim places in the midst of a burgeoning constitutional crisis.
Luckily, theHomelandone is at least becoming riveting entertainment.
And that isnt something I could say about this series for a long time.
