"Love never lets a person be the same. When love arises, all wisdom disappears." Pure truth.

We can say that Carrie was one of the best-built characters in history - alongside Max, Saul, Dar Adal, Quinn and Brody... It would be possible to clarify the following doubts:

- I would like to see Homeland reveal how the CIA explained Brody in Iran and his death to the American press. Clearly, Javadi being able to take credit for capturing Brody helped his cause in Iran, but did the US government reveal Brody's role in Akbari's murder? Was his name cleared for the CIA attack? I'd love to know what you thought.

- Another loose thread: Paul Franklin and the murder of the "real" CIA bomber. You just did that ... why ??

Carrie was publicly humiliated, beaten, doped, shot and put her life on the line countless times without hesitation, just to make others see Brody as she saw him ... and succeeded. Abu Nazir, the CIA, Jessica and the show's own audience, no one came close to seeing Brody with the clarity Carrie has always seen. Carrie has always read Brody like no one else.

Ah, Carrie's dialogue with Javadi was awesome, it will be one of the most memorable moments of the series, without a doubt!

"And what you wanted, which was for everyone to see in him what you see. That has happened. Everyone sees him through your eyes now ..."

- How did Carrie see Brody? and how did the US come to see it? It's the world?

Brody and Quinn... I loved both of them. Both inspiring and very human, dealing with their struggles. Actually the whole series is full of so interesting characters... Quinn’s ending was heartbreaking, and so raw...

I hated that he died, the show was not the same without him, something was missing, the stor ended unfinished
