12/4/2023 0 Comments Homeland season 2It doesn’t take long for Carrie to figure out who that is and why she’s important. There’s a note on her desk with a name: Samira Noori. So, what does Carrie do? She goes to find a gun. He even says she’s changed, not as political or aggressive as she used to be, finding some ineffective middle ground between a gift and a gun. G’ulom doesn’t take her seriously at all. Is it possible she didn’t just give intel in her manic state but set plans in motion of which she is now a part? Well, at least she knew once, but she can’t even remember the majority of her time in captivity. Why would an Afghan leader be talking to Yevgeny? Are the Russians and Afghans working together again? Almost more disturbing is the final scene of the episode in which Yevgeny implies Carrie knows why he’s there. Sadly, Saul’s excitement over a long-delayed peace forces him to make a crucially wrong decision that could destroy it for another generation.įirst, Carrie has to get past the fact that she saw Yevgeny coming out of G’ulom’s office. Max needed that surveillance equipment to work so they could be sure that the peace efforts by Haqqani were legitimate, and it appears they are. And Saul receives intel from Max that the in-hiding Taliban leader Haissam Haqqani (Numan Acar) is honestly interested in peace. Carrie has to find a way to convince Abdul Qadir G’ulom (Mohammad Bakri) to walk back his comments on the prisoners of war set to be released by the Afghan government to pull them closer to peace with the Taliban. “Catch and Release” is really about two parallel missions by Carrie and Saul. It’s a nice tone to use for the final season, although it could get a little wearying for viewers if it holds too long. The marker of “18 years” (since 9/11) comes up more than once, and there’s just something in the body language of Claire Danes and Mandy Patinkin that reflects the repetitive nature of what they’re attempting, almost a hope that if you bang your head against the wall long enough then maybe it will break. As Saul Berenson and Carrie Mathison try to broker a seemingly impossible peace in the Middle East, they both bring up how long they’ve been involved in this complex dance. There’s a world-weariness to the start of this season of Homeland befitting the final run of a show about the current state of the tired world.
