S8:E4 Chalk One Up

"Chalk One Up is one of Homeland’s shorter episodes... but it’s a pivotal one, somewhat undermined by a sense of inevitability that hangs over the entire running time. In a weird way, though, our certainty that something terrible is going to happen to President Warner at some point during his ill-advised jaunt lends a queasy suspense to the proceedings."

"Carrie, Jenna, and their escorts come to her rescue and, while this scene was a little bit of a distraction from the real action in hindsight, it was such a slick move... I may have even involuntarily pumped my fist in the air — just a little bit."
