There has been some speculation that perhaps Brody isn't dead, and he may be back. However, with the actresses that play his wife and daughter not coming back to the show, I doubt that is the case. I hope not. Also, Mandy Patinkin is confirmed for next season, so that was not his exit.

Fixed

Saul will be back, he is the private sector now, now he can be a real badass, not that Saul wasn't badass enough. I'd like to see Quinn still in the show.

Ha! I was just messing around. If you watch Dexter and don't know by now what happened in the finale, then you deserve to have it ruined in the Homeland thread.

Im sure Saul will be back and the story around Brody isnt over...Do we really know who bombed Langley?

Yes. Javadi funded it and that guy from his law firm killed the guy who made the bomb and dissolved him in acid in the hotel room the night Quinn shot Carrie. Remember?

Wait, is this the Days of Our Lives thread?

*My so called life.

oh yeah...i dont know why i still think Saul has something to do with it.

I still like the show, but I still feel some of the writing in season 1 was fantastic. While in season 2 and 3, it dropped of a bit.

agreed.

I read an interview with one of the writers yesterday (I'll try to find it and link it) and he basically said it was past Brody's time, and next season they want to get back to the basics. He thinks the direction it will go is showing Carrie do what she was trained to do. Could make for a good season if it is Carrie as a messed up field agent in Turkey and Saul helping from the private sector.

maybe she'll start banging javadi now

Very good episode. Could've easily ended the series this way. But, also a good way to allow them to reboot the whole show for next season.

So, will Saul will be a private sector power broker type of guy next year?

Seems like it.

Yeah, it was a very good ending.

What does this mean?

Just thinking he'd be some kind of behind the scenes influencer. He may not have the power title any more, but with his track record & contacts he'd still be very influential.

I was thinking about a show that ran on Cinemax for one season called "Hunted", starring uber-hottie Melissa George, where she was a Carrie-type character for a private intelligence company (these actually do exist, usually for industrial espionage). It might be a good plot to see Saul and Carrie compete for the same goal but for different bosses with conflicting motives.

That is a really interesting idea.

Also, was that show any good?

probably worth a peek
