Homeland Season Two Finale Preview

For the first time in two seasons, I was actually disappointed with an episode of Homeland. Homeland season 2 episode 11 found Carrie tracking down Abu Nazir however she did so without a weapon and seemingly without anyone in the agency caring that she’d been in a brutal car accident, kidnapped by one of the world’s deadliest terrorists, and put back into action without anyone questioning her, offering medical help, or wondering about her well-being. It didn’t ring true. Hopefully, the season two finale will put things back on track.
 
The Details:
 
Carrie must decide what her heart really wants. Brody shares a drink with Faber to discuss the future of his family. Saul is tasked with a secret mission and Quinn makes a decision that may change everything.
 
Season 2 finale, “The Choice,” premieres on December 16, 2012 at 10pm.
