Season 1 Homeland finale was one of the worst I've seen in a long time and I will not be watching season 2. Spoilers to come...
The show demonstrated that it's nothing but a cocktease and that nothing that happens matters because they have to keep Brody alive in order to make more seasons. This means there is no real suspense because the suspense itself hinges upon Brody going through with the plan.
Even if they try to change the storyline (they won't), the authors have shown they will contrive whatever machinations it takes for what happens to not be of consequence so they can make more seasons. The correct option was for them to have Brody splatter the walls with the entire entourage, then make season 2 about a whole new fantastical terrorist plot from a different source. Not to mention that I get tired of shows merely hinting at "shit getting real" but eventually pulling back to a generic conclusion. Homeland could have made artistic history by blasting the VP and half the DoD, but they opted to suck instead
Also Saul's beard is the worst. He looks like a gopher
