i'm just going to pretend that was the first episode of season 5 getting off to slow start

the last 6 or so episodes leading up to it were fantastic, not only better then I expected homeland to ever be again, but possibly as good as its ever been. Not mad I stuck with it at all - maybe part of the writers formula is that having completely non-action based episodes slowly leading up to something big makes that much of a bigger impact when you do get to an incredible"OH SHIT" twist like Ayyan getting shot in the head with Saul right there...if it was non-stop action forever with 0 character development I think those types of things would have less impact
