    Disbelief in permanent suspension

    The sheer ineptitude of all the US military, CIA and embassy staff make this episode (and more broadly season) a fairly painful watch, this show has always required some suspension of disbelief but this is a bridge too far, feels like a poor man's 24.

    Suspend Rational Thinking and Apply

    Preposterous episode in so many ways. No one in the embassy has any scenario training. They all fall for the obvious bait. The political fallout if Pakistan/ISI allowed this. The Ambassador's belt choice. Lockhart's complete lack of training. Complete Hollywood nonsense. There's a reason this kind of thing doesn't happen in real life - the marines, the diplomatic staff, CIA are not stupid people. Yet Homeland writers would have us believe so.

    A Base Less Propaganda Against Pakistan

    The Homeland Season 4 Episode 10 "13 hours in Islamabad" is a pure propaganda against Pakistan. All the event shown never happened in real life, all were faked. Pakistan Army dress was wrongly shown even the geography was wrong calling in Pakistan and showing South Africa. It was a joke shown to the public and all negative talks were spoken against Pakistan. The episode was the real example of HATE SPEECH, and it was shown to create negative image of Pakistan in the eyes of the world. All Indian stars are included as Pakistani's which was wrong and below dignity. All the Pak Army vehicles shown are not on the inventory of Pak Army. Without any deliberation, an episode was developed and create hatred against Pakistani Community. It was way too wrong than the original and I think is the worst episode ever. No female worker is employed by ISI as shown on the show it was also wrong.

    This was a best episode in the season so far.

    The '13 hours in Islamabad'is the best episode featured so far in season 4.With the new storyline we get to see more suspense and thrilling covert operations in this season. All the actors have given their best performance as always. The last 3 episodes (7-9) were very linked and the suspense element was maintained very well. I recommend all the viewers not to miss the 10th one as it contains lots of drama that you would enjoy watching.

    Overall season 4 is very interesting. I wish Carrie,Saul and Peter must get award for their performances in this season.

    Waiting eagerly for Krieg Nicht Lieb to be released on air.

    Typical government operation

    Lockhart gives up the 'super secret' list of assets, and Carrie gets fired. Oooo-kayyy! Then again, isn't that the way the government usually does things? Ignore the acts of the guilty, fire the innocent and praise the non-combatants.

    This whole series has been one of highly improbable incidents that neither make sense or would conceivably happen in real life. But it has been an excellent suspense series worth watching.

      It is never explained why Dennis Boyd started to trade information between terrorists and Sandy. He got nothing in return from either of them.

      Max: You were mean. All she wanted was your approval, and all you gave her was a hard time.

      Carrie Mathison: I was training her, Max.

      Max: You could've said something nice. Just once. Would've meant so much.

      Carrie Mathison: I wish I had.
