The brody arc needed to end, it was getting too complicated and drawn out with the "who's side is he on plot." He got his redemption and died a hero.

This was not the series finale. That being said, episode was bittersweet to tragic.

[Scythiroth]

Oh man....that ending.

Spoiler: show

Her drawing the star on the wall followed by the silence/quiet music to credits was quite a dark way to end a season of anything I've seen lol. But yeah, can't really be a series finale since there are still a few storylines that aren't wrapped up.

[Timwakefield]

Hated it. Is there a less dramatic way to have killed off your second lead? If you were going to do it here, you might as well have done it at the end of season 2. We never really got any sort of Carrie-Brody redemption. We got one single two-minute scene with his daughter. And nothing with his wife or Mike. It felt like the writers backed themselves into a corner and then were like "Wellllll fuck it, let's start over next season"

This season seriously lacked the twists and turns that made the first two seasons of this show as great as they were (except end of episode 4 obv). It may have lacked some of the plot holes that burdened the first two years, but it did it at the cost of taking practically zero chances along the way.

I probably haven't paid attention that closely, but what's still unfinished?

Pretty much agreed. A friend of mine loved the first 2 seasons, got sick of this season after asking every week if something interesting was gonna happen next week. I kept watching in the hopes that something did, and the penultimate episode I felt was an OK payoff. But otherwise it's all kind of a blur of "meh".

I like how he landed a meeting with the most heavily protected guy in Iran, killed him and simply walked out of the building. That aside, I enjoyed the episode/season and am looking forward to Carrie and Quinn's Adventure in Istanbul with baby sidekick.

Would've been ok with Brody lumberjack in Mojave desert too, but ending was alright.

IT STILL HURTS DAMMIT.

I don't know, I quite enjoyed the season, as well as the finale. I feel like it couldn't really finish any other way...Definitely looking forward to next season, and hope that we get to see more of Saul.

[mistmonster]

I could have done without the Dana story that went nowhere but did like that season otherwise.

I'm not really looking forward to mommy Carrie though.

Spoiler: show

Well, nothing major really, but Carrie's pregnancy and new job, I guess? I know it isn't really "major" stuff unfinished, but if they were going to end the show, the pregnancy seems kind of odd to throw in there without really resolving. How these get us through an entire new season, I really have no idea. Brody's family also was never really shown at all in that finale either after what happened. Also, the one guy talking to Saul and him potentially going back? After all that stuff though, I'm not sure that would really happen but could be possible.

[Skidz]

Spoiler: show

I'm telling y'all, this is it; show's over. Showtime pulled a fast one by "announcing" a season 4 so that we'd all be shocked by the finality of the last episode. Someone said the brody story arc needed to end. Arc? Thats not an arc, thats the damn premise of the show. There is no show without brody (dead), or Saul (retired) or carrie (Istanbul, which is boring and western as fuck).

[grantlogan]

You dumb.

[Weltall]

Sadly, I agree with him lol.

Spoiler: show

Even if it isn't the end, I'm gonna walk away from the show now. Isn't that what messed up Heroes? Some shows just don't know when to call it quits.

Good interview with the Showrunner on the Brody decision and where they go from here:

You've said that you wrapped the second season with a lot of indecision about three. Where are you at right now?

We're definitely waiting to regroup until the new year. If we had a few ideas at the beginning of season three, we have fewer at the beginning of season four. The show is really going to have to undergo a serious reboot and reinvention. If there's one idea that we're floating around that feels like we could get some purchase on, it's the idea of seeing Carrie do what she was trained to do -- and that is being a case officer in a foreign country. That feels like an interesting place to begin. But beyond that, we're in the enviable but terrifying position of starting again.

Is that more liberating or intimidating?

I think it's liberating -- I hope it is. We'll know in the first month of sitting around and talking. Our actors are fantastic. We have Claire, Mandy, Naz, Rupert [Friend], Tracy and F. Murray [Abraham]. We're not starting from scratch, but the show is going to be different. It's exciting and terrifying.

And you still have Mandy, yes? You left that a little open-ended.

I've got to put everyone's minds to rest about Mandy. The fact of the matter is that the character of Saul Berenson is now working for a private contractor. The CIA outsources so much work these days to these private contractors. Saul may not have a desk at Langley, but his operational interface with the CIA is going to be big.

What messed up Heroes was shitty writing which Homeland doesn't have. Stop watching the show, I ain't care. But to say the show will be awful now is just foolishness.

[Skidz]

christ you're retarded dude. My opinion is based on the fact that what the show was about just got wrapped up. You are excited for what will literally be an entirely different show which we know nothing about.
