The director of the CIA gave away some G14 classified shyt to a top terrorist to save 5 workers from dying. The terrorists had no way of getting into the room where the power players were, help was gonna eventually come, you've put the entire country and other assets working in countries all over the world at risk to save 5 AT BEST mid level employees.

This isn't on some Pulp Fiction shyt where a restaurant manager isn't gonna let 5 people die over the $200 in the register, this is some serious shyt.

Lockhart been the dude that's done nothing but talk shyt and tell people to fukk themselves, but when they about to kill Fara he goes :whoa:here's the most important confidential information the CIA has in the building with a bunch of our secrets.




And not only is Saul no longer a government employee, he wasn't supposed to be over there, he was trying to track a cat from ISI and got caught. Quinn fukked up overriding Carrie - which still doesn't make sense to me since Carrie was supposed to be running the joint - they had a chance to take out the new Osama and they let personal feelings get in the way, even though everyone that knows Saul knows he would have wanted them to take the shot.

This is the best season since season 1, which was damn near perfect, possibly because it was lifted straight from the Israeli show, but it still has those things that remind you that the creators of 24 are the show runners.
My gripe is that Lockhart broke when he brought Farah to the camera. Was he getting some Iranian poon on the side?? :rudy: My theory is that the files were fake. Haqqani didn't even authenticate them.

Lockhart says something to the effect of her not having any agency backup. They're not being left behind to continue the fight, they're being left behind because they decided to stay. If they get murked it's on them.

If this show was 24, Quinn and the black dude would have murked every single terrorist in there before they even got to the vault. Besides very general similarities (terrorism, Middle Easterners, espionage, some politics) the comparison is only made because the creators of Homeland were executive producers for 24. You'd be better off comparing Homeland to Zero Dark Thirty or something along those lines.

24 is awesome(especially early on) in its own way and you should definitely check it out, tho

breh there's sometimes a special cheesy-ness in Homeland that feels 24ish.. i can't really describe it.

but even if i had never read that the producers of 24 did this you can just tell.

Yeah, but 24 achieved ridiculousness that Homeland will never touch. When Mugabe 2.0 ran up on the White House I was :dead:

Also Carrie tracking the terrorists and a helicopter coming out of nowhere, the terrorists breaking into that store, may have been the last episode where Abu Nazir chases Carrie in that warehouse.

If this was 24,Lockhart would've been in cahoots with Haqqani setting this whole shyt up as a way to have a reason to hand those documents over knowing that major US assets on that list will be comprised.Reason? Money...

:lupe:
