So Dar's ultimate plan is to kill Keane and blame Quinn, but the number of things that had to happen to get to this point is ridiculous even by this shows standards.

That being said this is the first time in awhile I am looking forward to the finale.

The accent to the Real Truth host is awful.

Quinn was the best part as usual.

I think they are going to pull a Homeland (Homeland pulling a Homeland, get it?) and Dar will find out that there was a group trying to kill the president elect. Robert Knepper's group basically. So Dar was just trying to get things for the CIA but his plan was never to kill the president elect. Something like that.

Homeland can make you crazy, there are some parts that can be really great, and some other where you can clearly see that they were lazy. Worst part, any scene with Carrie is almost unwatchable.

I got the feeling it was the hosts plan to kill the president and blame Quinn. Dar saw him on the hosts laptop and he asked about it and the guy said a little something I'm working on. I took it as he wanted Max to help him find out what his plan was.

Honestly some of that stuff is just not making sense. So is the show now trying to tell us that even though Dar Adal developed, funded, and implemented these domestic propaganda farms and the black op wet work units, he is actually innocent of their wrongdoings???

Because, apparently, that middle aged nameless operative (Porteous Belli has got to be a fake name?) just took it upon himself to go kill Astrid and Quinn. And now, O'Keefe also took it upon himself to carry out a mission to kill the President-elect and pin it all on Quinn?

I think the only way to enjoy the show anymore is throw out all logic, don't try to analyze the plot holes, and enjoy the ride.

Analyzing the plot holes is half the fun with this show

They're trying too hard to surprise the audience with all these twists in which characters to trust and what's going on.

Big and obvious continuity issues with the bodies after the explosion.

And that elite, black ops hit squads write their operational plans on white boards and are quite casual about erasing them when leaving to assassinate the President of the United States.

Exactly. The show is beyond absurd (hard to distinguish it from Scandal at this point), but damn, if I'm not entertained by it at this point.

About Dar's plan failing, remember Saul's speech? how what's happening right now in the USA is what the CIA has been doing for a long time in other countries. That was awesome.

So they can say the same happened here, the CIA was trying to help some group to remove the democratic elect president, and as it has happened in other countries, that group results even worse. So yeah, if you compare reality with what could happen in the show... sadly.

It's beyond awful. He goes from American to British to Australian all in the same sentence.
