HOMELAND
Showtime, 9:00 p.m. ET
What is it this season about TV series predicting real-life events with their story lines? This year, Homeland has been dealing with a possible presidential negotiation to end the long-running war with Afghanistan, and to reach a cease fire with the Taliban. But in last week’s episode, things seemed really, really bad for some of the characters, presidential and otherwise. And Saul and Carrie, at this point, could do nothing but watch helplessly as dire reports came back from the field. And the crash site.
