My anticipation for the final episode of SOA4 is huge. I can see the value in TRs theory of waiting for the whole series, but I didn't have the patience.[/QUOTE] 
 
Totes. At the very least the last two episodes need to be watched back to back.

Yeah that's what I meant, poorly worded on my behalf. 
 
Episodes 13 and 14 are really one episode, it cuts off halfway through. Leaves you really hanging on till next next week.

taniwharugby

will start watching that next week. 
 
Was a bit disappointed with the finale of The Borgias, was a little flat really.

Love the way they really aren't hiding the Hamlet storyline now. Eps 13 and 14 are titled "to be or not to be" Parts 1 and 2

[quote name='Bones']Yeah why would you need to run a pilot and get approval in the US for a series where muslim = baddie terrorist <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />[/QUOTE] 
 
For those cynical about the US approach to this subject, Homeland is showing a remarkable level of balance. Hopefully a few rednecks drawn in under the simple guise Bones explains will learn a little bit outside the square.

I started watching Homeland on the weekend and am nearly out of episodes - it is great. 
 
I wonder if the Israeli original is available anywhere?

I also started watching HOmeland, and looks good...also started on SOA, which is moving along nicely, if not a wee predictable.

Strangely that was the appeal to me. It's like you know the story and where it's heading but the characters don't. Watching them get there is the attraction. The story is a tragedy and they tend to work best that way. 
 
There's still room for the story to go in different directions right to the end though and I am hanging out for the last ep.

Just watched the last 'Walking Dead' for the year. Holy crap! Intense. Still a great show

If you like [I]Homeland[/I] then you might like [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleeper_Cell_(TV_series)"][I]Sleeper Cell[/I][/URL] too. It was very tense.

SOA4 Episide 14. 
 
That's all I'll say.

I'll say: worst episode of the entire series, including all the Irish episodes - what an awful end to what has been a decent S4.

I'm undecided. Torn between disappointed and pleased. Had some good moments.

What did you consider good moments? Can we still do spoiler brackets on here? If so, chuck the good points in there.

taniwharugby

nah, this software doesnt have the spoiler function like a prior version did, so watch it :knuppel: (am only up to ep 6)

Totally agree. Though I haven't overly enjoyed this season. Such a boring final episode.

In that case, ignore what I just said ..... 
 
Toddy, I've actually thought this series was a return to form, bar the little bit stupid Juice's dad is black storyline - which I thought was good that they focused on him but didn't give him a decent story. But that last ep was just meh - I wonder how it would have ended if Sutter wasn't given an extra hour?

I'll mention one that isn't a spoiler. 
 
I liked the line that Eli used with Juice about "You're a crim, I'm a cop, I want to get back to that" 
 
Thought Link had some good moments too. 
 
Sutter could have stopped at 13 and then the first ep of series 5 would have been less dramatic. I actually think that after building so much tension 14 was a rush through clean up of the storyline that could have been handled better if spread over 2 eps. 
 
But hey, I still think we are being a bit fussy. I really enjoyed the series overall and it is still one of the best shows around.
