Two Minutes is really about people acting against the interest of their own country for personal reasons.
If it was someone else caught behind enemy lines, she wouldnt have done it.
Thats a personal reason.
And dont get started on Gulom.
At the start of the episode, the world is mourning, and Max is marching.
Will we ever see it again?
Discuss amongst yourselves how this should be compared to our current leader.
And shes vulnerable in ways she doesnt seem to quite understand.
What exactly did Yevgeny do in that two-minute window?
And what happens when the system reveals that it was off for that long to Carries superiors?
Embassies and bases wouldnt be protected anymore, and violence would erupt across the Middle East.
Hayes, after getting a refresher on how to pronounce Gulom, calls the man and urges due process.
But Gulom basically convinces Hayes that his advisors are wrong, and that aggression must be met by strength.
When Mike tells Saul that Carrie met with Yevgeny again, you might practically see his blood pressure rise.
Saul goes to confront Carrie about defying his orders.
You had a relationship complicated enough to lie about it, he says.
Yevgeny saved her life, which makes using him in any political capacity dangerous.
Theres a reason its quoted more than once in the soundbites that accompany this seasons credits.
She says shes not leaving Max.
Would she really have a choice?
The CIA will pursue it, and she has 30 minutes to get to a plane.
What will Hayes do with him?
Will his head explode considering the choices, a laScanners?
Final Notes
Two days was a long time ago.
Much like our coronavirus situation changes every day, the dynamic on this seasonsHomelandfeels believably amplified.
Its not hard to see the whole rest of the season playing out in only a few days.
Just his body language as he tried to convince Hayes to do the right thing was perfect.
And then that scene with Danes was one of his best.
What exactly does the final shot mean?
Were halfway through the final season.
What do you hope to see in the final half of the last year ofHomeland?
