- Quotes
Jenna Bragg: Anyway, I'm done.
Carrie Mathison: What do you mean you're done?
Jenna Bragg: I mean, I'm done. Not just with this, with everything, the whole CIA.
Carrie Mathison: Wh-that-that's what this means to you? After what you found here, after you thought your way through it, you think that's a reason to quit?
Jenna Bragg: No, but the Special Ops team dying that's a reason. And this asset will be tortured to death if you find him. That's a reason.
Carrie Mathison: It'll get us the flight recorder.
Jenna Bragg: That's how you see it. I know. And I've tried to see it like you, but I just can't. I got into this thinking I would make things better. But I don't actually believe that anymore. All I see is damage.
As a one who constantly followed this show religiously since the beginning, i can safely say after watching "The English Teacher" with only one episode left in a last season 8 - this is the best season of Homeland since the original. As great as the second season was, as much as i loved season 3 (but it had "Dana's issues") and loved season 4 (but it had pacing issues in a first half) - season 5 also was good but 6th and 7th weren't that great - the 8th and the last season is so far the best since the first one. Everything is here - Saul and Carrie at are their best and doing their best to save tomorrow. There is a superbly interesting story which is kinda epic if you ask me - they way story shifts its focus in this season from one thing that seemed a highlight last episode and suddenly in a very plausible way it shifts to another even more interesting thing solving last issue in a minute (like they did with Haqqani's son) is that driving force behind this season.
Overall, i was blown away by this episode. With only one left i can only say - i'm dying to see it right now. But the way thing looks right now, i might not like the things i that i will see.
