my wife an I watched season 1 while traveling to Mexico a few weeks ago, and caught Season 2 over the last 2 weeks. What an uneven plot. Did the writers or director change between seasons?

It was really about 1/2 way through this season when the show seemed to lost its way. It changed. I was assuming it was a director, producer, writer change.

Wow. I just finished up watching Season 2 of Homeland over the past six days and despite the fact that it's a TV show, I don't have any problems with the way the show unfolded, nor did I think it "fell apart" over the course of the final episodes.
One point that seems to be missing is that IF there is a mole, it's Peter Quinn. Quinn was thought dead at Bassel's shop ("Abu Nazir has no problem killing his own"), didn't kill Brody when he had the chance point blank and wasn't at the memorial service, making it likely that he pulled Brody's car and loaded it with the C4.
Spoiler!
I'm psyched about Season 3. |

I see it like this: He's a professional killer. Professional killers don't "feel bad" when they kill people. Brody was a terrorist and earlier in the season, he stabbed a knife through his hand for "effect". Now suddenly, we're supposed to believe that Quinn has a conscience because he saw Brody praying to Allah? If anything, that scene and the results seem to indicate that Quinn was on Abu Nazir's side, at least from my perspective.
I think the meeting with Estes happened so that he'd release Saul, who in turn would make sure that Abu Nazir's burial rites were performed correctly. |

I still think Saul's the mole. Which I know seems really wacky.

I think Saul is the mole, and Quinn is there trying to flush him out. |

And by all that I think Saul has become disenchanted with America and all her secrets, especially since it has seemingly cost him his family.

I hope the new season focuses more on Saul than Carrie because she's played out, IMO. Plus, the Carrie-Brody sex scenes are boring. It's not porn, it's like romance novel garbage. Don't waste my time. Mandy Patinkin is amazing on this show. F. Abraham Murray's character was interesting and I'd like to see that relationship explored a little further. |

I think my random explanation was that Saul is somehow tied to Mossad.
