F**king Arya!

I predict that Carrie will either employ the hacker or what's on his laptop (with Max's help).

So, since Dany and Jon are unaware of their real genealogical relationship (she is his aunt/he is the heir), and they had a fling and Dany got pregnant, then the child would Jon's first cousin and his child, whilst for Dany it would be her child and grand niece/nephew. The child would also be the heir to throne in either case. This could more fun than Cersei and Jamie and their kids/nieces/nephews.

Battle ground goofs - Wondered about that as well. Not unlike Rickon not running a Serpentine pattern from Bastard Bolton. Like, if I had the dragons I would only use them to attack the fleet where it would be difficult to fire that crossbow them. Stay away from the castles. Right. It is not that Theon is weak; he is, but he is smart enough to know and accept that fact. More to the point, he knew that he really could not save Yara, so what is the point of giving Euron the pleasure of killing them both? This way he has a chance for revenge, and then he will die exacting it. Nor does he really care about what people think of him, it is what he thinks of him. Ever since the very first episodes when Arya and Nymeria parted company, you knew there would be this reunion - what a beautiful scene. No, Nymeria can't come with her. But you know that Nymeria (and her pack)will follow Arya from a distance and protect Arya when it matters. Ellaria Sand will poison someone we don't like.

I love the fact that Mr Wrench is back and I'll bet he is thrilled to be working with Nikki, a partner equal to, if not smarter than, his prior partner, Mr Numbers. This series just has the smartest bunch of criminals. I hope Gloria, Winnie, Nikki and Wrench make it through the next episode

I don't get why it wasn't easier for Varga & co. to kill Nikki and then disappear her and Ray (and have missing persons issue) an instead set up NIkki with the police as a murder suspect - she is too clever to get caught in that. Especially with Gloria and Winnie at the table. I forgot, did they remove the stamp from the crime scene?

They had just met - a quick fling - Kevin did not know her name.

Prediction :Kevin Sr., Grace, and company shall kill Kevin Jr who shall arise from the dead in Miracle on the day of the seven year anniversary of the Departure.

"So the right winger radio guy is totally in Dar's scheme. Don't get yourself killed, Max!" I actually think that Dar is in the right winger radio guy's scheme. All Dar wanted was to be appointed Director by convincing Keane that he was the guy. But as insidious and sneaky as he has been, he gets played again, by Alex Jones. Back to Duh!!!!. Glad to see the good guys get some points on the board. Quinn will kill the bad guys and probably die doing it. Worried about Max. Where did Alex Jones get the funding for that troll operation? Like from the Koch Brothers How was Quinn able to tap into Dar's presumably secure phone? And he can obviously pick a lock with one hand? - Ha! - Movie magic!

Well, now we're f*@%ed! Running out of good guys. Was Astrid out on leave or does the German FIS know about this? A cringer.

Keane is the only way out. Keane on the phone looked like someone who knew they were being tapped - the way she blew off Carrie - Keane knows something is up. So its Saul to Carrie to Javadi and Keane vs Dar'a black on black ops team plus the incumbent President. Just can't figure out why Astrid and Quinn haven't figured Dar out.....and joined the rest of the club. Long shot - Quinn kills Dar.

Dar shall be fired (or arrested), Javadi arrested or killed on US soil, Tova will be arrested by Luskin, Keane will appoint Saul as head of the CIA...Not sure about Carrie, Quinn, Astrid or that Deep Black ops company. A really good Season

Keane becomes more interesting. What happens to the FBI agent's body? Is it discovered or washed? Carrie has his gun so the staged suicide just went out the window. The bad guy must have seen Carrie so why didn't just go and pop her at home? Carrie saw the guy so why would she just go home knowing he has been watching them? That company could only exist with full support of the CIA/NSA unless we have a'Parallax View' scenario with a rogue military and senator. So, in the end, Carrie will gather Saul, Astrid and Keane will save the day and Dar and Tovah will pay.

Great episode. Carrie’s been played again. The hostage drama. The rock thrower and the sentimental shot in the arm. Carrie jumping on Quinn to save him. Dar almost surprised at Saul’s theory that the Iran thing may be a Mosad foil, and again at Saul’s seeing Javadi - again, Dar is so evil, and if not he is Duhhhh??? And finally, Carrie’s last minute finding Quinn’ phone in the rubble. What did Quinn mean by his comment to Carrie about the SWAT team – ‘They’re not cops.” Has the PEOTUS really been kidnapped or is this SOP? If Dar is the only bad guy here, then it is too easy. What of Sekou’s two Muslin brothers at his work place? Who was that weird woman chaperoning the PEOTUS?

I think that the guys watching Carrie are FBI, and not CIA and do not, therefore, may not know who Quinn is. If they were Dal's black ops guys they would. I don't feel that Dar has been driving the Sekou bus. Disagree that it was the other guys at work placed the bomb. They're like Sekou, lite stuff. Although the bomb certainly adds underscoring to his case with the pres elect.

As I stated in a post last week, kids don't get a free pass on Homeland. Sekou was an easy pawn - arrogant little turd - so much for pride. I am not convinced his death was ordered by Duh! Could be just the FBI getting points. Or the Mosad? Did any civilians die in the explosion? And yes, Quinn's picture of the guy entering the parking lot is everything. How shall it be revealed? Will the swat team kill him? Will they find the phone? Will they try to kill Carrie when she finds it? Will Javadi confirm Saul's suspicions? When is Putin making his entrance? Just can't wait.

Since he is a Nigerian refugee (not US born), if not prison, they can just deport him - done all the time refugees with even minor offenses (see New Yorker article). I would like to think that on his exit someone informs him that he will never be off radar and anything he does on his phone, internet or computer is under surveillance - but apparently either that didn't happen or it did and he is just a young fool on his way to becoming an old fool or worse. Also, kids don't necessarily get a free ride on Homeland and I think that worse will be his fate.

My thought exactly. And what a king's landing Tomen made.

Truly a great final episode in a truly great season. The writers, cast,and cinematographers have set a very high bar for cable tv. Cersei: 'I love the smell of wildfire in the morning. That smell, that gasoline smell.......it smells like.........victory." And who were all those little birds of Qyburn (Children of The Corn?)? So. he doesn't know it, but John's a Stark and a Baratheon and actually could marry his first cousin, but why waste the plot line on romance at this point. When can Bran reveal this to all? So Arya grabbed a many-faced changing kit on the way out the door?!! How cool is that. She will be the one to deal with Cersei. And what about Gregor Clegan? Who else is left on her list? Will Brienne and Jaime face off again - and as what? Jeez, it will be a long wait till season 7.....maybe I'll just rewatch the first 6 until then.

Questions about Sansa: Does she inherit Lord Bolton's estate? What about the Lannister's if Cersei, Jamie, and Tomen all die in the coming firestorm? She could be the wealthiest woman in Westeros. Did she knew that Ramsey would not be the first to attack but instead wold find a way to draw Jon's army to the center for an easy kill? Despite the fact that she warned Jon not to respond emotionally to Rickon's probable death ad Ramsey's hand, and then mount a charge, did she really just bait him knowing full well that Ramsey would kill Rickon in the most provoking and manipulative manner, whilst also knowing that Little Finger was around the corner with the seventh Calvary. Hence, Jon would forge ahead emotionally, against his military judgement, and draw in his army to mount a hopeless attack, then get pulverized, and consequently draw out Ramsey's entire army into the open which would form an extremely rigid formation to finish Jon's army off, but also leaving Ramsey's army exposed to shredding in place by the Little Finger's army of the Vale. Did she see all this and set it up? Is Sansa that clever? Is this really not turning into the Game of Queens - Daenerys, Yara, Ellaria Sand, Sansa, and Lyanna Mormont with a bunch of wise guy advisers? I don't see a king in sight? Does she reconcile with Little Finger?

I am sure Melisandre will explain that Shireen was the price of admission to victory, and then Bravos will kill her.

And one more thing, "Serpentine, Rickon, serpentine". You know nothin' John Snow! He lead into battle with his emotions and ego, right into an obvious trap. Shields? Did they not consider they might be under a shower of arrows at some point? Not sure Sansa knew Little Finger's exact ETA or she might have let on to Jon to hold back a wee bit.

That was the tensest hour I have watched on TV since the finale of Breaking Bad, even though everything went as as I, and just about everyone else, had envisaged. We have been so baited by the writers. Meeren saved by the dragons and Dothraki, Tomen dies, the rest of the good guys lived, Little Finger riding in with the calvary, Dany and Yara doing that women thing, and ending with the dog show - now that was an exit. Now it is time for the Frays, the Sparrows, and Uncle Aeron. Big mysteries are Brienne and Jaime, Bran and Arya, Varys, Sansa? What will Bravos do to the Red Queen? What of Sandor Glegane.....All probably next season.

I am the only one of my friends who has watched this series, and I watched each episode two or three times. Love the music as well. As strange as I find the show, it absorbed me each week. I fell bonded to many or most of the characters - each has developed so interestingly - we cope or we die. I had difficulty with Kevin until this season...it was great to travel with him. I shall miss Patty. I especially liked Kevin's second stay at the hotel - Alice through the Looking Glass II - and his home coming.... Meggan's "Family is everything" ....it is that simple. And next year we can look forward to John sorting out his mess.
