What You Should have Watched Last Night:
Sunday Night 12-20-15
Sunday night featured the season finales of Showtime's hit shows Homeland and The Affair. A very good night of TV, with only two new shows to review.
Last night on Homeland, we watched the conclusion of the season long story-line involving the CIA traitor, Allison, who got what she deserved in the end. I loved how they killed her while trying to escape in the trunk of the car, like a trapped rat. How fitting. Saul got his revenge in the end.
As for Carey, her life is pretty much the complete opposite of what it was when we saw her at the beginning of the season. Her man has broken up with her, because she has too much baggage and has whole other life he had no clue about. She has no desire to rejoin the CIA, and now she is faced with having to mercifully ending the life of Quinn. Damn shame. No real happy ending for her, which is a constant theme of this show every season.
Excellent job, once gain, by Claire Danes this season. So believable.
Episode Rating: Great

Man, they didn't hold anything back on the season finale of The Affair. We learned that it was Helen who killed Scott, and Noah is protecting her. hen we learned that Allison was in the woods with Scott and actually accidentally pushed him into the street to get hit. And that she saw what happened and didn't tell Noah. Wow. Everything intermingled so perfectly, it was great.
Noah also learned that Allison slept with Cole and the baby is his!! What more could one ask for out of a show. Revelation after Revelation. Great stuff. I can't wait to see what happens next season.
