Quinn survives, Carrie shoots a couple terrorists in the tunnel and saves the day, Carrie-Saul hunt Allison down on her beach front resort... This show is too predictable and should have never killed Brody off..it was the beginning of the end.

Yeah it's a joke now that is only occasionally worth watching for Patinkin. They've made Dar Adal (an intriguing character the first few seasons) so lame that I don't know why Abraham doesn't just quit the show. Must be the paycheck. Ending was trite. Why can't they just show Quinn's death? Now every lunkhead with an internet connection is going to be speculating about him surviving for the next 9 months because the room filled with light at the very end.

Back on. Premiere episode last night. I know a lot of people have jumped ship on this show but I still like the characters and acting for the
most part. I am afraid that this season is going to be a bit slower with it based in NYC and D.C. I don't see it as having as much action but
maybe I will be surprised by it. First episode was just ok.

I like it. The Dar and Saul dynamics/chess make it pretty captivating so far.

It's been just ok so far. I like that Dar is messing with Madam President to be. I don't like that Quinn is slightly
handicapped and mentally ill this season, but that is the best they could have hoped for him after what he went
through at the end of last season. I thought the worm had turned when the bomb went off at the end two
episodes ago but just didn't jump start it like I had hoped.

It's not as good as the first few years. Like you guys said, it's still OK.

I watched the first 2 episodes this new season and bailed. Not interested anymore.

Last episode was pretty good and I hope a turning point in this season. Certainly would indicate that the bombing didn't come from a
terrorist group, which we probably could have guessed early on. I really liked the scene with the FBI guy infiltrating that building and
looking around. I also was in some suspense when the president elect went on the run, I thought for sure the woman driving was going
to kill them both by running the truck into a wall or semi or something.

I hope there are more twists to the story than just Dar pulling shenanigans in order to preserve and/or expand the agency powers.

Just caught up last night. A few more twists but I just can't get convinced of any of the plot lines. I like the show for the most part and enjoy the characters but it feels like a guilty pleasure because I know what I am watching isn't all that good.

The public opinion factory in the basement was quite a concept... of disturbing variety.

This last episode was one of the better ones. Very interesting to see the nerdy guy infiltrate that underground bunker where they manipulate
all the social media. Still unconvinced of the Quinn storyline although it was nice to see him get a shot in at Dar. Might be interesting to see
him track down that assassin.

I agree. They've taken it to a very interesting place. Last two episodes have been awesome. It's a good season. And it kind of represents what's happening in real life. When they shot it, they didn't know that.

It has really mirrored some things that appear to really be happening which is interesting. It would also appear that this storyline will
not be wrapped up by the end of the season finale and will continue into next season which I am ok with. The season has been ok
overall. Not great but not bad at all.

I too thought that they finished the season really strong with the last four episodes.

Watched the finale this morning. It was a strong ending to a better than average season. I am not sure what is going on with Madam
President, she doesn't seem to have much of a backbone and easily controlled by others. This obviously will be a problem. They left
it pretty open for next season, but I would assume any storyline would still include this new administration and this little weasel
Shawn Spicer type character. The one character will be missed but I really didn't care for their role this season as it just seemed a
bit unbelievable. It was a good way to put the character out of their misery.

Yeah. She admitted to Sal that she doesn't know if she can handle being President.

She does pretty much need lots of people to tell her what to do. I think this is the director sending a message that women can't be president. It's his beliefs transferred in her character. Sexist bastard.
