Religion was a little more present this season, but it was there from the start with Brody's secret praying, etc.
I have very little taste for the religious and thought it was pretty well managed here. You add a bit of color to Durig with his chapel, you add a bit of PC complexity with the most devout terrorist being the one with cold feet and the bomb maker being an atheist and then you close with a non-denominational chapel and sun light (which can just be sun light) which is both universal and bouncing well off Quinn's letter about him being swallowed by darkness.

She didn't kill him though. She was about to do so when Jesus said "no, Carrie. No."
Now next season we get a grittier version of Fitz's recovery as in Shield, except this time with Quinn....and Islamo terrorists!!! And probably Carrie unfortunately.

That is basically what we should be afraid of. A whole season of spoonfeeding Quinn the vegetable to one up even the Brody family bullshit of seasons two/three.
Would you guys please stop mocking our German way of romance?

They left Quinn up in the air for next season, he will likely never be 100% but maybe at some point be the new Chloe(24) but deskwork (highly unlikely also he would kill himself).. Perhaps he is gone and the next season is all about Carrie's new marriage to the guy who talked down about her to his coworker just days prior on how she was a bad pick for the company and it will turn into some WTF Vampire Diaries style long triangle with ISIS shit on the side.

Passed on Homeland up until the last few weeks, which is weird considering how in love with the "Spy thriller" novel genre I am. Immediate thoughts were the show all-in-all is super solid. Absolutely loved the first two seasons, phenomenal entertainment, aside from Brody's stupid fucking daughter. Damian Lewis was amazing, and the show was obviously fresh at that point. Season 3 in all its unbelievability was still solid, but certainly a step below, & I felt 4 was it's weak point. Maybe just because Lewis wasn't carrying the show. Loved the backdrop they went with 5, and ultimately the cat & mouse game with Allison was great. That being said, I felt the Quinn side was awfully forced (hard for me to believe that guy would get fucked in that situation with how much of a ghost he is).
I still wish that they could've gone a different route with the closing of season 2. The dynamic of Estes over looking the Carrie & Saul pair, with Dara Dal & Quinn in the unknown. I also appreciate the nature of how shitty the character's can be as humans, seems like a good portrayal of that "Spook" mindset... Even if Carrie's character is overly whiny at times.
I'll certainly tune-in for season 6 later this year. It's set in NY, and I hope they bring the show back to the more on the ground realistic level. Doubt it though.

This, so much this. It was awesome to have Germany as a setting instead of just 100% Middle East. I also agree that season 5 was a big improvement over season 4. I had not heard that 6 is going to be set in NY. I was kind of hoping we would stay somewhere in Europe, but NY could work I guess...as long as the writing is as good as season 5.
