Ah Carrie, we've missed you. S8 starts rough. When last we saw Carrie, she was being tortured by the Russians. The premiere ep of the final season scrambles to put Carrie back together and get her on her feet again but the end of ep cliffhanger is great and we're back in action.
Claire Danes must work out her face. It's like she has extra muscles that she's sculpted so she can freak out in extreme ways. It totally works for Carrie because her basic character trait is that she's a bipolar spy. It's almost over acting - the Carrie cry face became a thing for a while - but it works.
Stacy is already at S8e5 or 6 or wherever it's at now. I have to catch up, but the eps are dense and require attention. It's been 2 years since S7 so I kinda forgot where we were, but it wasn't hard to catch up because the twist was foreshadowed in the season premiere. Stacy says the last few eps she's seen have been really intense but we'd expect no less.
Given that this is the final season, I hope Carrie has a happy ending, but I suspect that won't happen. No one really gets a happy ending in Homeland.
