    A Great November

    I have to say that I was really losing hope on this show since the beginning of season 4. I was very disappointed throughout the first 5 episodes.

    But since "From A to B and Back Again", it's been outstanding. Not only are the last 4 episodes the best in the season, they even make this season the best in the whole series. Something that couldn't have seemed possible without Brody but seriously, well done!

    "There's something else going on" is the cherry on top. A 45 minute ride of a thrilling, amazing, clever, tense and nail biting episode.

    4 episodes in one great month beginning from the 2nd to the 24th. Indeed this is Homeland's best.

    The Return of the 'homeland.'

    The first impression anyone would get after watching this episode is "awesome." Though this series seemed bit sloppier and slow lately, this episode brought Homeland back on track. This episode keeps your heart pounding and tantalizes your imagination as to what would happen next and at the end - it is just 'WOW.' Carrie and Saul were at their best. It was really nice to see some matured acting from these actors.

    Now I can't wait to see the next episode. I hope that the writers would keep up this pace in the coming episodes. It is indeed a great challenge for the writers to keep the flame burning. Thumps up for the writers from the coming episodes.

    I personally rate this episode 9.9/10

    "Homeland" With a Vengeance

    Greetings from Lithuania.

    When you start to think that it's hardly gets better than the last episodes of "Homeland", "There's Something Else Going On" happens. "Wow" is the first reaction you will get when credits of this episode will start rolling. Not even they managed to keep the tension in the first part of this episode, they managed to almost stop our hearts in middle and blow it at the end.

    When you start thinking "Homeland" plot is going in one direction, they manage to surprise you, and whats the most important, they do it in the most realistic, plausible way.

    Don't read any spoilers or synopsis about "There's Something Else Going On" and see it for your self - you can throw a rock at me if you'll find anything better currently on the small screen market.

    The episode of Homeland's fourth season, the show delves deeper into the complex web of political and personal relationships that have been woven throughout the season

    In "There's Something Else Going On", the ninth episode of Homeland's fourth season, the show delves deeper into the complex web of political and personal relationships that have been woven throughout the season.

    The episode opens with a tense and gripping sequence as Carrie and Quinn attempt to extract a valuable asset from Pakistan. The action is expertly choreographed, and the sense of danger and urgency is palpable. This sets the stage for the rest of the episode, which is marked by a heightened sense of tension and uncertainty.

    As Carrie struggles to regain her footing at the CIA, the script skillfully weaves together multiple storylines, each adding depth and complexity to the overall narrative. The relationship between Carrie and her father, Frank, is particularly poignant, as they navigate the challenges of their strained relationship in the wake of the tragedy.

    The episode also delves deeper into the political machinations at play, as Saul and Dar Adal engage in a high-stakes game of power and influence. The performances of Mandy Patinkin and F. Murray Abraham are exceptional, and their scenes together crackle with intensity.

    The episode's climactic moments, involving a tense confrontation between Carrie and a former colleague, are both thrilling and emotionally charged. The direction and editing heighten the sense of urgency, and the episode's conclusion leaves the audience with a sense of unease and anticipation for what's to come.
